The Police Service Commission is now defunct, as its Chairman and last standing member, Bliss Seepersad, has resigned with immediate effect.

Seepersad was left as the lone member of the PSC, after Courtney Mc Nish, Dr. Susan Craig-James and Roger Kawalsingh resigned one of the other.

The Commission has been embroiled in controversy over the past month, for its failure to appoint a substantive Police Commissioner following the expiration of Gary Griffith’s contract on August 17th. 

The PSC has also been accused of overstepping its remit, and allegedly leaking documents and showing favoritism for Griffith to return as the Police Commissioner. 

The allegations saw one hopeful candidate for the post, Superintendent Anand Ramesar, being granted leave from the court until October 15th, after he alleged the PSC unfairly omitted him from the interview process for the Top Cop post.
