Tactical Services Unit (TSU) head Senior Superintendent Linden Alves yesterday recommended that training for the unit’s ranks be revised to ensure a “softer hand” in engagements with the public.
Alves was at the time testifying before the commission probing the shooting to death of Ron Somerset, Allan Lewis and Shemroy Bouyea and the injuries sustained by several other protestors.
Alves told Commissioner K D Knight that he believed the training of police could be altered and that there can also be increased training in the areas of human rights and human relations.
He explained that recruits are trained in their initial stage of policing prior to graduation and after graduation,
