Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice (CoP) Al­lis­ter Gue­var­ro did not breach pro­to­col when he left the ju­ris­dic­tion last week.

In fact, se­nior Gov­ern­ment of­fi­cials have con­firmed that the top cop ap­plied to the Po­lice Ser­vice Com­mis­sion (PolSC) for emer­gency leave and was grant­ed per­mis­sion to leave the coun­try. How­ev­er, of­fi­cials have re­fused to say when Gue­var­ro left and when he is due to re­turn.

And while pub­lic de­bate con­tin­ues over his ab­sence, Deputy Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice (DCP), Ad­min­is­tra­tion, Ju­nior Ben­jamin has de­nied sug­ges­tions the TTPS is “lead­er­less” at this time.
