FASHION POLICE DEATH SQUAD. HOW TO
“The problems may lie in three key places: Did they receive specific, tailored training in de-escalation and how to manage events from spinning up too fast?

Finally, supervision,” he said. “These units are sent to areas where the police are tracking upticks in violent crime.”Īnd while he said “targeted deployments can have a good impact,” he noted there could be issues. Tactically, it was the logical move for a police department to create SCORPION,” Miller said. Tyre Nichols.”ĬNN’s chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst John Miller said the creation of the specialized unit made sense at the time. “The Memphis Police Department remains committed to serving our community and taking every measure possible to rebuild the trust that has been negatively affected by the death of Mr. “While the heinous actions of a few casts a cloud of dishonor on the title SCORPION, it is imperative that we, the Memphis Police Department, take proactive steps in the healing process of all those impacted,” the department said in a statement. And on Saturday – less than a day after video of SCORPION members beating Nichols was released to the public – the Memphis Police Department announced they will “permanently deactivate” the unit. Yet Strickland reversed his praise on Friday in the wake of Nichols’ death, saying the SCORPION unit was made inactive pending an independent review. Mayor Jim Strickland championed the unit, mentioning it during an address to the city in January 2022 and proudly pointing to 566 arrests – 390 of which were for felonies – and more than $103,000 in cash seized.

The JSCC added, “It must be further noted that the recent Supplementary Provisions approved by the National Assembly is intended to fund and support Joint Support Teams in the various administrative regions under the command of the Joint Services headed by Chief-of-Staff, Brigadier Godfrey Bess. It said, “The council has noted a circulating document which serves to implicate members of the Joint Services in illegal activities and wishes to make it clear that Operational Troops remain under the command and administration of the Joint Services.” The Joint Services Co-ordinating Council (JSCC) has also come out cautioning citizens against “reckless and irresponsible social commentary which could have a damaging effect on society.” Minister Robeson Benn said, “I wish to condemn in the strongest possible terms, the malicious, deliberate, incendiary and delusional attempts to: bring the security forces into disrepute to target individuals in those services and to foment mischief and misrepresentations with respect to the policies and programs of the PPP/C government in its efforts to improve safety and security throughout Guyana.” “It is apt to note that none of the deliberately malicious and incendiary statements were made during the consideration of the matter of the establishment of Regional Joint Support teams, either in presentations or even heckling from the benches,” the Ministry said.
