Internal affairs investigation launched at GPD

Guam Police officers are under fire. A criminal complaint has been filed, and an internal affairs investigation is now underway. GPD spokesperson Norman Analista confirmed the case — a revelation that stemmed from an inquiry by KUAM - following concerns raised by the department’s rank-and-file. it’s a case that now puts the spotlight on trust and accountability in Guam’s police force.
GPD is facing growing internal scrutiny. A criminal complaint has been filed against one of their officers, launching an internal affairs investigation. The confirmation came from Analista, after KUAM pressed for answers on behalf of the department’s rank-and-file officers.
The lights that usually symbolize safety are now clouded by controversy.
Analista confirming, “We can confirm that a criminal complaint has been filed against a Guam Police Department officer. An internal affairs investigation has been initiated. At this time, we cannot provide additional details because the investigation is ongoing and to protect the privacy of all parties involved.”
That statement came only after KUAM received concerns raised by the rank-and-file, sought answers. Their worry: that silence could overshadow transparency, erode morale within the department, and weaken public trust. Although KUAM is unable to confirm, those close to the investigation say that the investigation is relative to harassment and a female officer.
Internal affairs investigations determine whether an officer broke the law or department policy. Findings could lead to anything from suspension to termination — or even criminal prosecution.
For the community and officers alike, it’s about more than just one complaint. It’s about the integrity of the badge. For now, the officer’s names, the nature of the allegations, and the timeline remain sealed. But the concern is real — voiced from within the department’s own ranks, and echoed across the island — as this case tests both accountability and the trust of the people.
The Guam Police Department says it will release more information when the internal investigation is complete. Until then, the officers involved— and the force itself — are under the microscope.
We did reach out to Analista to see if officers had been temporarily reassigned pending the outcome of the investigation but as of newstime did not get a response.
