At­tor­ney Gen­er­al Regi­nald Ar­mour says the in­ves­ti­ga­tion in­to sus­pend­ed Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice Er­la Hare­wood Christo­pher is a mat­ter for the Di­rec­tor of Pub­lic Pros­e­cu­tions.

Yes­ter­day, the At­tor­ney Gen­er­al de­clined to com­ment on the on­go­ing de­ba­cle in the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS).

Ar­mour, who was at the T&T En­er­gy Con­fer­ence 2025 at Hy­att, Port-of-Spain, pre­ferred to re­main silent amid the in­ves­ti­ga­tion in­to Hare­wood-Christo­pher, who was sus­pend­ed by the Po­lice Ser­vice Com­mis­sion on Jan­u­ary 31, the day af­ter she was ar­rest­ed in con­nec­tion with a probe in­to the pro­cure­ment of two sniper ri­fles.

The sus­pend­ed po­lice com­mis­sion­er chal­lenged the State’s de­ci­sion to ap­point her suc­ces­sor on Feb­ru­ary 5, the same day Par­lia­ment unan­i­mous­ly ap­proved Deputy Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice Ju­nior Ben­jamin as act­ing Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice and As­sis­tant Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice Curt Si­mon to fill his va­cant DCP role. How­ev­er, the law­suit was dis­missed.

Speak­ing with the me­dia yes­ter­day, Ar­mour was asked to com­ment on the mat­ter but re­spond­ed, “That is for the DPP and he’s an in­de­pen­dent of­fice and he’s in charge.”

He did not go fur­ther on the is­sue. In­stead, Ar­mour urged the pub­lic to get vac­ci­nat­ed this flu sea­son as he shared that he had re­cent­ly con­tract­ed a virus which was “not pleas­ant.” He said he is cur­rent­ly re­cov­er­ing.

Ear­li­er, Prime Min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley had al­so re­vealed that he was feel­ing un­well and would not stay for the rest of the En­er­gy Con­fer­ence af­ter de­liv­er­ing re­marks.

When asked if they had the same ill­ness, Ar­mour replied, “I’ve been fight­ing the virus. I don’t know what he has, but I know what I had, which was not pleas­ant, and I en­cour­age every­body to take their flu shots.”
