Former Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith has praised the country’s Protective Services for their performance during the Carnival season, saying their efforts kept the nation safe while celebrations unfolded.
In a media release, Griffith said officers in uniform often face criticism because of the actions of a few, which can be deeply demoralising to those who serve with honour. “This Carnival season, our Protective Services proved their worth. While the nation celebrated, they worked tirelessly, in intense heat, under immense pressure, to keep citizens and visitors safe,” he said.
He extended congratulations to the Police Service, Defence Force, Fire Service, Prison Service and supporting agencies, including thousands of private security officers who worked in bands and fetes throughout the season. “Your discipline, restraint, and professionalism did not go unnoticed,” he said. Griffith also welcomed the visible presence of national security leadership on the ground.
