In connection with the "Fact finding investigation" done by the Police Internal Affairs against the Police Spokesman Inspector Ricardo Henson, regarding his alleged attempt to get one of his colleagues (a young detective) to tamper with evidence (remove certain information), in a robbery investigation, in which a family member was involved, has been concluded.
The Police Internal Affairs department has concluded that there are no grounds what so ever to conduct a disciplinary investigation against Inspector Henson. This investigation has shown that Henson at no time attempted to pressure his colleague to tamper with any evidence or at any time had any conversation to that effect with his colleague.
Henson merely informed the detective/colleague in question that as a father he would have his son report to the police station to give a statement in regard to that ongoing investigation. With this the investigation against Inspector Henson has come to an end. The Police Department continues to have full confidence and trust in the performance of Inspector Henson.
