The Advisory Committee for Appointments to Senior Positions, headed by retired Judge Eliezer Goldberg, announced today that "the committee was satisfied that public trust in the police is largely influenced by the image of the police commissioner. One of the means to preserve the image of the police is, among other things, strict observance of the fact that it will be headed by a worthy person. A moral flaw in the behavior of the commissioner affects the entire chain of command.
"The committee believes that in order to reach the conclusion that this goal has indeed been achieved in full, the candidate must undergo an occupational polygraph examination, as is customary in the Israel Police."
