Police fear police in T&T

NOT only do some members of the public have low trust in the police, but police officers themselves are afraid of their colleagues whose wrongdoings they are afraid to report, said a parliamentary report.

The Report of the Joint Select Committee on National Security (JSCNS) on the Report of the Police Manpower Audit Committee (PMAC) was recently laid in the House of Representatives.

The JSC Report included the PMAC Report’s findings that 40 per cent of police officers think corruption exists in the police service and 96 per cent of officers themselves thought the public had little or no confidence in the TTPS, the latter comprising 14 per cent saying “no confidence at all,” 47 per cent saying “very low” and 35 per cent saying “low.”

The JSC report, as a key concern, said every JSC hearing had heard concerns about the impact of police corruption on police performance and public trust. All this compounds the challenge of police indiscipline.
