A senior policeman has reminded the public that the service does not accept any payment to fast-track the recruiting process.

ACP Wayne Mystar said anyone or any group claiming to offer expedited entry into the police service in exchange for money is engaging in fraud.

On February 18, Mystar made the statement, a day after San Fernando police arrested a 29-year-old man. The suspect is accused of impersonating a police officer and falsely claiming he could fast-track applications for people seeking to join the service for a fee.
