Eight TTPS officers promoted to senior ranks

Three of­fi­cers were pro­mot­ed to As­sis­tant Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice and five to Se­nior Su­per­in­ten­dent of Po­lice at a cer­e­mo­ny at the Po­lice Ad­min­is­tra­tion Build­ing on Wednes­day.

The cer­e­mo­ny was at­tend­ed by Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter Roger Alexan­der, Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice Al­lis­ter Gue­var­ro, Deputy Com­mis­sion­ers Ju­nior Ben­jamin, Natasha George and Suzette Mar­tin, Po­lice Ser­vice As­so­ci­a­tion pres­i­dent, heads of de­part­ments and units, and mem­bers of the First Di­vi­sion.

Alexan­der urged the new­ly pro­mot­ed of­fi­cers to re­main vis­i­ble and ac­ces­si­ble to the pub­lic, par­tic­u­lar­ly in the com­mu­ni­ties un­der their charge.

Gue­var­ro said the pro­mo­tions recog­nised the of­fi­cers’ hard work, ded­i­ca­tion and com­mit­ment to the Po­lice Ser­vice. He re­mind­ed them that their new ranks car­ried greater re­spon­si­bil­i­ty and urged them to lead from the front while main­tain­ing pro­fes­sion­al­ism and ac­ces­si­bil­i­ty.

The cer­e­mo­ny al­so recog­nised the sup­port of the of­fi­cers’ col­leagues, fam­i­lies and the wider Po­lice Ser­vice as they took on their new re­spon­si­bil­i­ties.
