Police Commissioner Allister Guevarro has defended his officers’ use of force after a report showed police were involved in 60 fatal shootings over a one-year period, the highest annual total recorded in more than a decade.

The figure was disclosed in the Police Complaints Authority’s (PCA) 15th annual report, which covered the period from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025. The report, recently laid in Parliament, said the PCA initiated investigations into 60 fatal police shootings during that period.
