Seriously why do we SRPs in this country? Here's my take on this.
Supplemental Reserve Police (SRP) can join the the police force without any subjects.
They train for less than 4 weeks; 2 weeks traffic law training and 2 weeks firearm training.
Hardly any background checks are done on the individuals.
They are barely trained at all.
There are two things along to distinguish an SRP from an regular police :-
Their 4 digit regimental number.
and they have SRP not TTPS on their shoulder title.
The majority of the bad tickets and wrongful arrest are from SRPs. Remember the SRP years ago who give a handicap driver a ticket for parking his vehicle on a handicap zone because the SRP believed only wheel chairs should be in that zone. Remember also the SRP who gave the pregnant lady and her husband a ticket for driving on the PBR when they were rushing to the hospital ??
A lot of the SRPs out there are giving the criminal elements police information making it very difficult to capture them. Some SRPs are committing crime whilst on duty and even using the police vehicles to do their deeds.
USING a marked police vehicle, men wearing police tactical gear went to the home of a Chinese restaurant owner and robbed him of $400,000 just after midnight on Friday.
Wei Hui Zhu, 31, of Soledad Road, Claxton Bay was alseep when the police vehicle arrived at around 12.05am. Police investigators said three armed men walked into the compound and began asking Zhu several questions.
A report stated that a black Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) arrived shortly after with three more officers, who informed Zhu that they were acting on instructions to search his home.
The men went into a bedroom and found $400,000. The cash was placed in plastic bags along with two IPhones valued $13,500.
Police said Zhu was kicked about the body by the men. Southern Division police responded to the report.
The Express was told that no warrant was issued to search Zhu's home and at least one of the men involved in the incident was identified as a Special Reserved Police (SRP) officer.
An investigation is underway to identify the other men involved in the robbery. Investigators intend using CCTV camera footage at the GPS tracking technology on the stolen phones, to help solve the case.
