| Message | No. A national police department prevents poorer provinces having incompetent police forces, where police forces are needed most. Also, public transportation should not be gambled with local government |
| Date | 03:59:37, March 18, 2006 CET | From | Bloc Socialiste | To | Debating the Delegation |
| Message | We agree with the National Progressive Party. More organisation leads to more effective administration. |
| Date | 15:57:40, March 18, 2006 CET | From | Dranland Progressive Conservatives | To | Debating the Delegation |
| Message | The proposal calls for a national police department in addition to local police. This way, the national police can focus on issues that are of concern to the nation, while local police can focus on their regions or municipalities. |
| Date | 23:10:45, March 18, 2006 CET | From | National Progressive Party | To | Debating the Delegation |
| Message | But it is unclear whether the national police forces in this proposition will be able to make up for the impotence of the some regional governments in dealing with crime. |
| Date | 04:46:46, March 19, 2006 CET | From | Dranland Progressive Conservatives | To | Debating the Delegation |
| Message | Well, the government can further decide on the role and responsibilities of each level of police. It just isn't practical to have a national force deal with smaller issues that a smaller, local force can concentrate on. |
