A lawsuit is expected to be filed this morning, as acting Top Cop Gary Griffith seeks to reverse the Police Service Commission’s order for him to remain on leave.

Griffith was instructed to extend his leave until investigations have been completed into alleged corruption within the TTPS, as it relates to the issuance of firearm user’s licenses.

The Police Service gave the order on Friday, prompting Griffith, through his legal team, to issue a pre-action protocol letter to the PSC, giving the Commission until noon on Sunday to withdraw the leave order.

“However, at no time did (the PSC) make, or ask me to respond to, any allegations whatsoever against me or the performance of the functions of my office,” Griffith said, describing the order as “wholly, entirely and irretrievably undermined.”

Griffith is being represented by Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj, SC, Jagdeo Singh, Larry Lalla, Alvin Ramroop, and Kristy Mohan. 

The Commission is currently halted in its selection process for a Police Commissioner, after Senior Supt Anand Ramesar obtained an injunction the recruitment process.
