Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice Al­lis­ter Gue­var­ro yes­ter­day ho­n­oured 28 of­fi­cers for their ef­forts in re­mov­ing over 30 il­le­gal firearms and a quan­ti­ty of am­mu­ni­tion off the na­tion’s streets dur­ing the past month.

The awards and com­men­da­tion cer­e­mo­ny at the Po­lice Ad­min­is­tra­tion Build­ing in Port-of-Spain, lift­ed the spir­its of the of­fi­cers, with one in­di­cat­ing, “It is nice that our work is be­ing ac­knowl­edged and that we not out there just putting our lives in dan­ger in the field, with no thanks to get.”

Shin­ing the spot­light on the law en­force­ment per­son­nel work­ing both along­side and un­der him, Gue­var­ro ac­knowl­edged the sup­port of the team of of­fi­cers he cred­it­ed for be­ing his totem pole.
