Tobago's two top Cops Assistant Commissioner of Police Collis Hazel and Senior Superintendent of Police (Acting) Rodhil Kirk have been served transfer papers. Senior Superintendent of Police Rodhil Kirk spoke with TV6'S Elizabeth Williams on the matter.
00:00If the administration see it fit to reassign me in another place, I mean, the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service,
00:10as much as I would have liked to continue what I started, being a Tobegonian, being a person who grew up in Tobago,
00:21if they see it fit to give me another assignment, it's something that we all know that in the TPPS,
00:33that no appointment is permanent in any place, and the service, in terms of managing the resources,
00:43will tend to move you around from time to time.
00:45The transfer of Tobago's two top cops comes on the heels of an increase in gun crimes on the island with an unprecedented murder rate.
00:55In light of his transfer to take effect soon, Senior Superintendent of Police Ruddell Kirk said citizens on the island need to shine a spotlight on criminals.
01:06What I have said before is that just like how the criminals always put a spotlight on the police, we need to put a spotlight on the criminals.
01:16We need to expose them. We could only do so much, and if we do it, it will become a habit, it will become a practice.
01:29And then they will see greater success in going forward.
01:33The Senior Superintendent has this message for Tobegonians.
01:38I want to continue to give the police the support, meaning that we work alongside with the police because if we don't do that,
01:51it will be difficult in terms of dealing with the kind of crime that we are dealing with now.
01:58All these criminals have a place of their own somewhere within Tobegon.
02:04Communities have to start to be bold and brave.
