The recent shake-up in the hierarchy of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) is drawing mixed reactions, with some police officers, as well as a southern business chamber and a criminologist questioning the decision. Others, though, say the changes are completely normal.
Criminologist Darius Figuera suggested that politics may be at play. He noted that the changes came just days after Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexander told senior police officers at a passing-out ceremony to support Police Commissioner Allister Guevarro, adding they should not “feel hurt they did not get the job”. The minister said his comments were not intended to attack anyone.
Figuera said, “To speak of that at a passing out parade, that is political overreach, especially at a passing out parade in public.”
