Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Junior Benjamin said the police service is not afraid to bring its own members before the courts when they breach the law or act contrary to the integrity of the organisation.

His comments come in the wake of a probe into the disappearance of 20 kilos of marijuana from the Barataria Police Station, part of a recent $1 million drug seizure.

“We are not hiding our officers. There is an investigation, and we are treating it with the seriousness it deserves,” Benjamin told Newsday in a phone interview on September 17.
