Top cop is back

Commissioner of Police Tyrone Griffith is back on the job after a long absence.

However, said Attorney General Dale Marshall, his absence had nothing to do with any “fall from grace” with the ruling Barbados Labour Party.

He was responding in the House of Assembly last night to a question from Leader of the Opposition Bishop Joseph Atherley, about what he called Griffith’s noticeable absence from public events.

Atherley asked Marshall to set the record straight as it raised questions about whether the police chief was on normal leave or whether there were other conditions that would have precluded him from performing his duty.

Marshall said he was making it clear that the administration has full confidence in the Commissioner. (AC)
