(2) Police Orders are issued by Police and Violence Restraining Orders (VROs) are issued by a Court. To determine any relationship or conversion between the Orders would be a time consuming exercise at considerable cost with no guarantee that the Orders are related. The Commissioner of Police has advised that he is not prepared to waste valuable resources by diverting them away from core policing activities.
