In an effort to improve the Police Service’s crime detection rate, retired investigators will be brought back to assist with the training of officers.
Commissioner of Police, Erla Harewood-Christopher, speaking for the Joint Select Committee on Wednesday, stated, “We are focusing on a robust set of training. What we are in the process of doing is the re-hiring of experienced investigators, officers who would have retired, who are competent to assist in the training of our officers.”
She admitted to the committee that since the start of her tenure, there has been increases in some crimes, including a 10 per cent hike in murders.
