Four Officers Suspended, Eleven Transferred As $22M DSS Probe Continues

By Newsroom

Four police officers, including two seniors, have been suspended as investigations continue into the return of $22 million, following the DSS Raid at Kathleen Warner Drive, La Horquetta, last month.

In a statement on Thursday, Commissioner of Police, Gary Griffith revealed that he has also directed that 11 other officers be transferred.

“Based on preliminary investigations, it had become necessary to suspend the four policemen, two of them being senior officers. He directed that four others be transferred out of the Northern Division and the other seven, all Special Reserve Police Officers, be transferred to Northern Division Area West,” the statement read.

Commissioner Griffith said the Professional Standards Bureau (PSB) was mandated to carry out the investigations into the return of the money. As a result, acting on the advice of the investigators, the CoP has directed that certain persons be removed from the investigations to allow the entire probe to be conducted in the most transparent manner.

The investigations are being spearheaded by a team under the supervision of Acting Deputy Commissioner of Police (Intelligence and Investigations), Mc Donald Jacob.
