Erla Harewood-Christopher is back at the helm of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS), albeit it may be for just a few days.

“I thank God, I thank my attorneys. I have been vindicated, which I expected. In my 43 years of service, I have never been, there’s no allegations of any misconduct, be it criminal or otherwise. My service has always been with integrity. But other than that, I reserve any further comment at this time.”

Harewood-Christopher was suspended on January 31, after she was arrested the day before over allegations of misconduct in the securing of two sniper rifles and other accessories for the SSA. Harewood-Christopher spent two nights at the St Clair Police Station before she was released from custody.

Harewood-Christopher’s return to office comes days after Director of Public Prosecution Roger Gaspard found there was insufficient evidence to secure a conviction.

This woman should never be in that job some of her utterances were foolish,I am all for inclusion but not at the expense of common sense.We now have 3 women in charge of TT,Mrs President Kangaloo a plain and simple act of pure nepotism,then the leder of the Opposition,Penelope Beckles,she appears softer than marshmallow,surely the PNM could have had a stronger person.Lastly KPB who in my opinion is too old and probably won't last 5 years,I acknlowledge her as a great woman because of all her achievements[
Narper I was reading an article about Guyana and its new found riches and surely they are heading to be the Pearl of the Western Hemisphere.

In theory yes. But I am not confident of this.....divisive politics and racism are detrimental to real economic progress...regardless of the vast amount of natural resources....
