“The Board recognizes that poor performance does not ordinarily constitute a
breach of duty that would serve as a basis for disciplinary action but is instead
addressed through the performance management system. However, the Board
is of the view that findings of
unsatisfactory leadership performance by senior
officials in relation to the security incident under review should be a potential
basis for discipline recommendations by future ARBs, and would recommend a
revision of Department regulations or amendment to the relevant statute to this
end.”
