Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Al­lis­ter Gue­var­ro has not­ed the ex­tra­or­di­nary ex­am­ples of courage and ser­vice that have been dis­played by po­lice of­fi­cers dur­ing his first 100 days on the job – and he is en­cour­ag­ing them to con­tin­ue act­ing with ho­n­our and pride.

He ex­pressed the sen­ti­ments as he ad­dressed of­fi­cers dur­ing a com­men­da­tion and pro­mo­tion cer­e­mo­ny at the Po­lice Ad­min­is­tra­tion Build­ing, Port-of-Spain, on Fri­day. A to­tal of 33 of­fi­cers were recog­nised, with 30 re­ceiv­ing com­men­da­tions and three be­ing pro­mot­ed.

Gue­var­ro said, “I have seen of­fi­cers step in­to dan­ger with­out hes­i­ta­tion, re­solve con­flict with wis­dom and up­lift com­mu­ni­ties with com­pas­sion. I have seen the best of what polic­ing can be, and imag­ine we are not done yet. We go­ing right down till we lie down.”
