00:00So what is happening today is actually a launch of this police mobile boot.
00:04It's my understanding that it has been a request from the Tobago population for quite a while.
00:09However, the facility itself wasn't available.
00:12It is due to contribution from the business community in particular.
00:16One businessman in Tobago who has contributed to what we're doing is seeing it.
00:21And we get now available for us to utilize to see what the people are doing.
00:25The police post would not only be in Scarborough, but other districts across Tobago.
00:32It is our intention to use it as somewhat, not as a full station,
00:36because the process station in Scarborough is about a half a mile away from here.
00:42So it is intended to bring some level of convenience, one, to the population in Tobago,
00:47to the people of Tobago in terms of making their reports.
00:49It is also intended to bring some level of comfort to them in having the police presence in this area,
00:55which is an area of interest for us.
00:57And it is our intention to utilize the officers here to fully treat the issues that we have in this immediate area of Scarborough.
01:05Officer Eli said the police post would be operational for as long as it is needed,
01:11and members of the public can make reports to officers on hand.
01:15I cannot say if it will be run for 24 hours, but we have it operational for as long as it is needed during the 24 hours.
01:23And I think the beneficiaries of this will be not just the police,
01:26but will be the people of Tobago, the people who utilize Scarborough.
01:30We look forward to providing that level of safety that they so desperately require.
01:35Elizabeth Williams, TV6 News.
01:37We'll see you next time.
