Griffith calls former commissioner jealous and coward
Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith is responding to a report in today’s Express in which a former
Commissioner of Police said that police officers were breaking the law by wearing camouflage.
Griffith said that in total contrast to the false and misleading claims, the law in the Defence Act Chapter 11:01 Section 99, states " a person not serving in the TTDF, shall not wear such
uniform, without the Minister's permission".
‘”The Commissioner of Police has acquired the necessary approval from the Honourable Minister, allowing elite units to wear this uniform on a trial basis”, according to the statement issued today.
Griffith said that in years gone by, certain Elite Units have been wearing the exact camouflage uniform whilst securing the President and Prime Minister, that being the MOPs; possibly without the Minister's permission.
“Therefore, this same ex-CoP needs to explain why the law may have been broken under his watch”.
