PROMOTIONS in the first and second divisions of the police service (TTPS) remain in limbo as the appellate courts determine two separate appeals involving senior and junior officers.

On November 18, Justices of Appeal Prakash Moosai, Mira Dean-Armorer and Eleanor Donaldson-Honeywell reserved the court’s decision in an appeal against a High Court’s ruling in 2024 that the TTPS unlawfully used a departmental order in the promotion assessments for at least 30 constables and unreasonably delayed interviews for advancement to corporal.

A separate appeal, affecting inspectors seeking promotion to Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), has been adjourned.
