Commissioner of Police Erla Christopher issued comments on Friday, following the acquittal of six police officers who were charged with the murders of Alana Duncan, Abigail Johnson and Kerron Eccles.
The three friends were shot at Rochard Douglas Road, Moruga back in 2011.
A jury found the six men not guilty on Friday, following a trial before Justice Carla Brown-Antoine.
The CoP said: “The actions of these officers came under scrutiny and they were subjected to the due process of law.
She noted: “The circumstances of this case present the typical occupational hazard for police officers.
“As an administration, we work to mitigate against such occurrences by developing and implementing a Use of Force Policy to guide police officers in their operations.”
Harewood-Christopher noted: “The full deployment of body-worn cameras will also be effective in regulating the conduct of officers and in providing evidence that assist in determining the adequacy and appropriateness of police actions.”
“Incidents like these are regrettable, and I wish to emphasize the need for officers to become more proficient in our Standard Operating Procedures.
Notwithstanding the outcome of this case for the officers, lives have been lost,” she said.
The Commissioner ended her release by extending condolences and regrets to the families of the victims in this incident.’
