SPECIAL reserve police (SRP) officers walked out of a meeting with senior officials of the TTPS after being told they were not “owed the right to enter into the TTPS,” amid discussions on absorbing them into the force.

A recording of the meeting, sent to Newsday, revealed tensions began rising in the meeting when the SRP officers were given the opportunity to pose questions to the senior officers at the head table. After greeting the head table on December 3, an SRP singled out two senior officers for a “special good morning” adding, “I know the two of allyuh are honest men!”

That rankled other senior officers at the head table who believed the SRP was suggesting they were dishonest.
