A High Court Judge has raised concerns over a Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) policy of promoting officers while they are suspended for being accused of committing criminal offences.
Justice Frank Seepersad highlighted the policy yesterday as he was called upon to determine a lawsuit from a corporal, who claimed he was bypassed for promotion while on suspension with a group of colleagues for allegedly setting a detainee on fire.
Justice Seepersad declined to rule on the case as he noted that Cpl Roger Reid was retroactively promoted while the case was awaiting determination.
