Acting Commissioner of Police (CoP), Mc Donald Jacob, wishes to give the citizens of Trinidad and Tobago, especially of Rich Plain, Diego Martin, the assurance that the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) will adhere to the rule of law regarding the investigation into the fatal shooting of PC Clarence Gilkes.
The Police Complaints Authority (PCA) announced in a scathing Press Release on Thursday (30th June 2022) that it has concluded that members of the TTPS abused their power and deliberately mislead the Acting CoP. The Authority said this incident “is one of the clearest examples of abuse of Police power that the PCA has investigated to date.” A Media Release from the TTPS on Thursday states that the lead investigator, Snr Supt Joseph Chandool, together with investigators from the Professional Standards Bureau (PSB), are still actively investigating the incident. The Media Release added that on Wednesday (29th June 2022), the Acting CoP together with the Head of the PSB, Snr Supt Suzette Martin and the lead investigator, Snr Supt Chandool, held a meeting with PCA Director, Mr. David West, along with two (2) of his investigators, where a completed investigative file was handed over to the Acting CoP. Acting CoP Jacob then handed over the file to Snr Supt Chandool, and he was advised to continue the normal procedure of linking the evidential file with that of the PCA and to continue the investigation. Commissioner (Ag.) Jacob notes that the investigation is currently at a critical stage and when the Police investigators complete their inquiry, they will be required to visit the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for guidance and advice. The Acting CoP also states that the TTPS is the institution provided with the mandate and responsibility to proffer charges against persons, while the Courts of the country decide on the innocence or guilt of persons who are charged. He also assures that the public will be advised when the final advice is given by the DPP regarding this matter. We are a small operation.
