Seven cops transferred in Central Division

The ASP has been transferred to the North Eastern Division and Newsday understands that more officers are expected to be transferred in the coming days.

However, on Thursday, six officers from the rank of sergeant to constable were informed by McIntyre that they were to be transferred internally.

The Operational Unit will now be manned by other officers from within the Division and the new head is expected to be the son of a former senior police officer.

On Tuesday, during the weekly COMPSTAT meeting with the divisional commanders of the TT Police Service (TTPS), Williams indicated that he was receiving numerous reports of alleged corrupt activities involving police officers and had planned to shake up the division.

It is not known whether those transferred are linked to the reports received by Williams.

Newsday understands that during two (TTPS) town meetings in Enterprise, angry residents openly gave the names of officers who they claim were allegedly involved in illicit activities and even accused those officers of giving residents a hard time.

Williams promised to look into their concerns and gave them the assurance that action will be meted out to any of the officers named if they are found to be involved in any unscrupulous activities.
