PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, Feb 3, CMC – The Police Service Commission (PSC) has told embattled Police Commissioner, Erla Harewood-Christopher, to “cease to report for duty and cease to discharge the duties of Commissioner of Police”.
In a January 31 letter sent to President Christine Kangaloo, the PSC said that the action against Harewood-Christopher is being taken “as a result of an ongoing investigation into misbehaviour in public office”.
Over the last weekend, Harewood-Christopher was released from police custody after being questioned in connection with the illegal procurement of high-powered rifles.
“What happened here is an outrage. It is outrageous because the Commissioner of Police was questioned, not as a person from whom the officers wanted information, but she was cautioned, and we all know or we should know, that a caution is administered to a person against whom the officer has reasonable grounds to suspect the person has committed an offence,” said her attorney, Pamela Elder SC.
