Snr Supt of the police court and process unit Nazrudeen Pragg - Shane Superville
While the police continue to implement different measures to get police complainants to attend court, one senior officer is suggesting stiffer penalties to tackle errant officers who are absent on multiple occasions.
Speaking at the police media briefing on Sackville Street, Port of Spain, on Thursday, Snr Supt Nazrudeen Pragg of the Court and Process Branch recommended that failing to attend court should be raisedfrom a Category B to a Category A offence, so that they could face suspension or dismissal by the Police Commissioner.
