The T&T Po­lice Ser­vice So­cial and Wel­fare As­so­ci­a­tion (TTPSS­WA) says it is in full sup­port of Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice Al­lis­ter Gue­var­ro’s de­ci­sion not to sus­pend the of­fi­cers who were in­volved in the fa­tal shoot­ing of Val­sayn res­i­dent Joshua Sama­roo.

The as­so­ci­a­tion al­so says its mem­bers are not op­posed to the use of body cam­eras by of­fi­cers, they are con­cerned about the lim­i­ta­tions these elec­tron­ic de­vices can present in the field.

Re­spond­ing to ques­tions about the de­ci­sion by Gue­var­ro not to sus­pend any of the of­fi­cers in­volved the fa­tal shoot­ing, TTPSS­WA pres­i­dent, act­ing ASP Ishamel Pitt, said, “He is act­ing based on pol­i­cy and le­gal di­rec­tions, and we are in full sup­port of his de­ci­sion at this point in time.”
