Police Commissioner Gary Griffith is growing tired of the death threats.

This, as a fifth death threat was made Saturday afternoon, threatening the lives of the Commissioner and Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar.

This is the second time in the past 24 hours that the life of the Opposition Leader was threatened, and the fifth for Griffith in the past six days.

According to police, around 2:50 pm today, the Command Centre received a call with the perpetrator using a number of expletives saying he had two guns and was coming for Griffith and Persad-Bissessar.

The Commissioner said while the Police Service is mandated to take every death threat seriously, he finds that it’s getting “rather boring”.

He said the “ridiculous calls” are wasting police time and resources, including the E999, which is set up to give callers assistance in emergencies.

Griffith said that he is led to believe that he is doing something right, as it seems that his efforts are affecting “certain elements” and hampering their trade.

“It seems that some are trying to make themselves famous by threatening to kill me, but instead of grand charging and boring us, I would ask them to stop calling and come. They could find me. I promise to make them famous.”

Griffith further stated that he does not need the endorsement or support of criminals and those who commit violent crimes, but prefers to put them behind bars.

To date, three persons have been held by police regarding death threats made against the Police Commissioner.
