Inspector Harold Harrison was more than a gentleman and served the Police Force with dignity and nowhere in a notorious way.

The late Harold Harrison was more than a gentleman and to compare him with other notorious Police officers of the 70’s & 80’s is an insult to him. He served the Police Force with dignity and I remember the day his house in Gzira was bombed because he did his duty of office.

I happen to have known Harold Harrison very well. His were the manners of a true gentleman in all the situations he found himself and in all spheres of responsibility he was entrusted with.

Unless I am mistaken, he led the scant – and seemingly unwilling – Police force trying to prevent the rampage by Attila’s labour Huns at the Law Courts and the surroundings in June or July1987 soon after PN’s victory in the previous May. He ‘paid’ dearly for it – through the hand of a criminal or criminals still unknown and unpunished to-date.

I distinctly remember Dr Fenech Adami, addressing the nation on TV saying that Mr Alfred Calleja, the then Commissioner, had admitted to him that “my men let me down”

Frankly, I wonder how his son Neil – who has a very good
record as a Police Inspector in the drug squad like Michael Cassar, one of his predecessors who also had a bomb planted at his residence – does not, apparently cherish that particular incident which, I am sure, should have impressed him so much as a young man

Yes.
