Seventeen police officers have had their appointments revoked by Commissioner of Police Allister Guevarro, the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) announced yesterday.In a release, the TTPS said the revocations were made in accordance with the administrative directions of the Commissioner of Police.The officers whose appointments have been revoked are:Tamara BoyceVijay SinghElliot ChinJoanne JadooOwen Hem-LeeJilann HolderKizzy ThomasKarlon MurrayChristopher GobinMichael AlcalaCarlos ThorneDevon BasantAkiel SmithDesron DillonShaun ReidJoff AwongDaryl BakshThe TTPS said the notice was issued for public information and record.It did not disclose the reasons for the revocations and did not indicate when the decisions took effect.In an interview last month, Guevarro said the TTPS had about 290 officers on suspension as part of ongoing efforts to address alleged misconduct within the organisation.He said one of the challenges facing the TTPS was a public perception that police misconduct often went unpunished, arguing that while allegations involving officers frequently received significant atten­tion, disciplinary and criminal proceedings against those officers often attracted far less public inte­rest.The last time a similar number was made public was in 2020 when then-police commissioner Gary Griffith noted that an estimated 280 officers were on suspension with pay, which was costing an estimated $50 million to taxpayers annually.
