COMMISSIONER of Police Allister Guevarro has issued a warning to criminals who target law enforcement officers after a prison officer was shot repeatedly during an attack near Piarco Plaza on June 20.

In a statement on June 21, Guevarro, who took over the reins of the police service on June 17, said, “Let me be clear; an attack on one of us in law enforcement is an attack on all of us.”

“To all criminal elements, I urge you to desist now. This path you are on leads to only one end, and it is one that will not be in your favour. The TTPS will not retreat and we will not relent. We will preserve peace and protect the lives of our citizens.”
