Police: Trinidad's top cop and deputy to resign
PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad, July 31 (AP/UNB) - Police officials in Trinidad and Tobago say the islands' top police commander and his chief deputy are resigning.
Commissioner Dwayne Gibbs and Deputy Jack Ewatski are Canadian law enforcers who were recruited two years ago to tackle escalating crime in this Caribbean nation.
In a terse statement issued late Monday, Trinidad's Police Service Commission said the resignations of Gibbs and Ewatski are effective Aug. 7.
Minutes after the commission made its announcement, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar gave a televised address saying National Security Minister Jack Warner will soon announce a new strategy to fight crime.
Warner has publicly criticized the two Canadian police officials for their law enforcement strategies in recent weeks.
Earlier this year, the pair also received negative performance reviews by the Police Service Commission.
