T&T Police Service Social and Welfare Association says it anticipates several outstanding issues affecting police officers would be addressed when it meets with the newly-appointed Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith.
As a matter of priority, association’s secretary, ASP Anand Ramesar said he hopes that Griffith will iron out promotional issues and challenges that the membership is faced.
“There is a proposal that we would be seeking to present to him and it is not much different than what we gave when he was Minister of National Security,” Ramesar said.
The other issue, he said, is the revisiting of the re-branding of the T&T Police Service by way of implementing new uniforms.
“These two proposals stand out as a top priority and we did find favour with Griffith when he was a minister so we have high expectations that those issues will be treated with,” Ramesar said.
On the issue of non-lethal weapons, Ramesar said Griffith had been lobbying for tasers and pepper sprays and “we expect a follow through with this in his role as Commissioner.”
