Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice-elect Al­lis­ter Gue­var­ro says he is hum­bled by the Par­lia­ment’s de­ci­sion to ap­point him as new head of the T&T Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS).

In a state­ment hours af­ter the Gov­ern­ment and the Op­po­si­tion unan­i­mous­ly ac­cept­ed him as the new CoP, Gue­var­ro said, “I am deeply hum­bled by Par­lia­ment’s con­fir­ma­tion of my ap­point­ment as Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice and I thank Almighty God for his guid­ance through­out this jour­ney.”

Ex­tend­ing re­spect to the oth­er can­di­dates who par­tic­i­pat­ed in what Gue­var­ro de­scribed as a trans­par­ent and rig­or­ous se­lec­tion process, he said, “Their ded­i­ca­tion and com­mit­ment to the TTPS, serves as an ex­am­ple to the younger of­fi­cers who de­sire to be­come fu­ture lead­ers with­in our no­ble pro­fes­sion.
