Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Al­lis­ter Gue­var­ro says the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) is open to work­ing with the Po­lice Com­plaints Au­thor­i­ty (PCA) to in­ves­ti­gate any cas­es of wrong­ful po­lice shoot­ings.

Speak­ing on Thurs­day at a Ch­agua­nas Cham­ber of In­dus­try and Com­merce (CCIC) break­fast sem­i­nar on se­cu­ri­ty and strate­gic plan­ning, Gue­var­ro main­tained that the TTPS is com­mit­ted to ac­count­abil­i­ty and over­sight.

“There is now pub­lic de­bate about po­lice in­volved shoot­ings and the pub­lic de­bate, some peo­ple call­ing ex­tra ju­di­cial killings. I want to as­sure the pub­lic here to­day that the TTPS has al­ways and shall con­tin­ue un­der my watch to be able to in­de­pen­dent­ly in­ves­ti­gate its own and if wrong do­ing is found—pros­e­cute those who are found to be do­ing wrong,” he said.
