Acting Deputy Commissioner of Police, Mr Irwin Hackshaw, is under investigation by the Police Complaint’s Authority (PCA) for reports of ‘unusual financial transactions.”

“Pursuant to Section 26 of the PCA Act, Chapter 15:05, the PCA has independently initiated a two-fold investigation surrounding reports of unusual financial transactions linked to Acting Deputy Commissioner of Police, Mr Irwin Hackshaw; and the alleged dissemination of “sensitive information” by police officers attached to the Professional Standards Bureau, “ the PCA said in a statement on Monday morning.

“The  PCA notes the detailed content of newspaper articles entitled “ACP flagged for suspicious activity: Banks report deposits of close to $2m into over 15 personal accounts…” and “TTPS admits ‘external’ probe into senior officer”, both featured in the March 8, 2020 Edition of the Sunday Express.

“As an independent oversight body, the PCA is committed to ensuring that no Police Officer acts above the Rule of Law and empowering the Citizenry to report incidents of police misconduct and/or criminal activity,” the Authority noted.
