Minister of Nation al Security Fitzgerald Hinds says action has already been taken to address the reports of twenty-nine officers within the TTPS who were erroneously promoted due to a glitch in the process.
He gave the indication while responding to a question posed to him in the Senate this morning.
High Court Judge Margaret Mohammed has granted leave to 115 police constables to challenge a decision by Police Commissioner Erla Harewood-Christopher to promote several officers ahead of them.
The officers contended that the decision to promote 29 officers, who were named in the judicial review lawsuit, ahead of them, is unlawful.
The constables claimed that 29 officers on the comparative merit list scored less than them but got promoted due to a computer glitch.
The officers, via their legal action, sought a court order compelling Harewood-Christopher to retroactively promote them to corporal as of September 29, 2023.
Minister Hinds said that the matter is sub judice as is presently in the courts.
However the matter has been addressed.
