Two police officers are challenging their transfers from the Guard and Emergency Branch (GEB) in late 2024, without being given a reason, although they suspect the move is linked to missing uniforms and a threat allegedly made by a former senior officer.

The officers, who requested anonymity, were reassigned to separate divisions and have now been granted permission to proceed with their legal challenge. The matter has been assigned to Justice Jacqueline Wilson.

The officers’ lawsuit contends they were not given notice of an intention to transfer them, nor were they allowed to make representations on why they should not the transferred out of the GEB.
