01:14New remedy for the healthy function of the nerves in the feet and legs.
01:18I have been living with diabetes over 10 years and the nerve pain was becoming unbearable.
01:24The numbness, the tingling, the burning became a daily challenge.
01:30A friend told me about new remedy and after three weeks of trying it, there was a marked difference.
01:37Benfothiamine, a synthetic form of thiamine, has been scientifically shown to help relieve many of these symptoms, especially in early cognitive decline.
01:47I strongly recommend it as part of the supplement regime and for all patients with nerve problems.
01:53I have confidence in new remedy because it contains benfothiamine.
01:57This has been proven to help with numbness, tingling, and pain in the legs and feet.
02:03As a pharmacist, I strongly recommend new remedy to all my clients.
02:07If you're experiencing new pain like I did, try new remedy. It worked for me, it will work for you.
02:14New remedy is available at all major pharmacies nationwide.

08:08I am very interested and moved, you know, by your consideration,
08:13and I will, you know, support perhaps where we have an escalating murder rate,
08:19where we have crime that is, you know, creating a big challenge,
08:23that these sort of offenses where persons are committing subsequently
08:26to assist in the removal, you know, it's all geared towards what?
08:29Basically suppressing and, you know, basically, in my view,
08:34also trying to pervert the course of an investigation
08:36because you are now committing to handling evidence
08:39because the body is evidence in a murder investigation.
08:43So I think there are many different corners that we can look at this particular offense,
08:47and I want to agree with you that it must be looked at
08:49so that, you know, we're sending a very clear message
08:51not only to the persons who may have the intention to kill
08:54or the intention to cause previous bodily harm,
08:56but those who may be coming subsequently,
09:00not knowing who may have been responsible for the murder,
09:02but getting probably directions and instructions to remove a body
09:05to be able to avoid law enforcement detection and investigation.
09:09So, again, I want to agree with you, but very unfortunate circumstances,
09:12and I'm happy that the law has been applied with reference to these individuals.
09:17All right.
09:17So we've been talking about road traffic, road safety, rather,
09:22on this program every single day,
09:24and there was a really bad road traffic accident along the Elmina-Clark Allen Highway
09:32in Sangi Grandi.
09:35Of course, it's a rather new highway,
09:37and I remember showing a video a couple weeks back
09:40where a front pickup crashed into those railways,
09:45and the railway went straight through the side of the van
09:47and came through the back.
09:49Luckily for that individual, he was not hurt,
09:52but you're seeing people here in this video, Sergeant.
09:57This appears to be a young child of some sort in the vehicle.
10:01There's somebody who's also trapped there,
10:03and there are passers-by who are obviously assisting
10:07in this rescue operation yesterday.
10:13Well, you know, Mark, you know, every time I see, you know,
10:17footage with reference to an accident,
10:19I'm always concerned, you know,
10:21and I always move, you know, to remind the motorists,
10:27the general public,
10:29to understand and appreciate that when you are in charge of a vehicle,
10:33it's a very serious responsibility.
10:35And Mark, to conjunct it,
10:37you know, every single day I traverse the road of Trinidad and Tobago,
10:40and I'm sure similarly you and other persons,
10:43if you really look closely,
10:45you'll recognize that many persons,
10:46and when I say many, I'm talking very high percentage,
10:49are failing to observe basic regulations.
10:56And, you know, I'll go as basic to say,
10:58and sometimes we miss it,
10:59you know, Mark, when you're following a vehicle,
11:01you know, you're supposed to be keeping a reasonable distance away from the vehicle.
11:03There are certain instances where it will be specified,
11:08for example, if there's heavy equipment,
11:09they actually say 17 meters and so forth,
11:11but I'm talking generally speaking on the roadway.
11:13You should be keeping a reasonable distance.
11:14So if there should be a sudden stop by the vehicle in front of you,
11:20you can still maneuver with reference to avoid hitting that vehicle from behind.
11:24Similarly, with the speed,
11:26one of the reasons why they have imposed speed limit
11:31is to factor in again, Mark,
11:34the risk in particular roads or driving at particular speed
11:38in case you should lose control of the other defect in the motor vehicle.
11:42Unexpected.
11:43So, you know, just by way of reference,
11:45and last but not least,
11:46sometimes I see we change in lanes.
11:48There's no indication.
11:50There's no use of the indicator
11:51to say that you are changing lanes.
11:53And, you know, Mark,
11:56besides not using the indicators,
11:58you know,
11:59you see coming in terms of the roundabout,
12:03you see persons coming
12:04and they are edging up, pushing up.
12:07You have not cleared the way as yet on the roundabout,
12:10but they so want to get ahead
12:11that they're pushing up,
12:13causing you to not have to deviate.
12:15And I don't know if some persons recognize
12:16that could be an act,
12:18a driving without due care and attention
12:20or even a dangerous act of driving
12:21because you're causing motorists to take precaution
12:25and can be diverted onto, you know,
12:27other traffic,
12:30as the case may be,
12:30whether pedestrian or motor vehicle.
12:34So, I'm just saying in the context,
12:36if we sit back,
12:36and I ask all citizens of Shenandoah and Tobago,
12:39this afternoon or in the morning,
12:41whenever you get a chance,
12:42whether you're a driver or you're a passenger,
12:45just observe how we,
12:47and I'm saying we,
12:48all of us,
12:48what happens on the nation roads?
12:50And you'll realize that basic things
12:52not being done on the nation roads.
12:55So, when you see an accident,
12:57it may not even be something that is far-fetched.
13:00It may be a simple situation
13:02where the basics,
13:05in terms of what I've just identified,
13:07are contributed to the accidents that we are seeing.
13:09So, members of the public,
13:10again, I take this opportunity to plead with you all.
13:12I know that in recent times,
13:14the weather conditions,
13:14a lot of rainfall,
13:18you know,
13:18and the roadway is not the best.
13:21And as I always said, Mark,
13:22you do not know vehicles that are on the roadway
13:24that probably you have oil
13:26and other lubricants
13:28coming onto the nation road.
13:29And as that hits some water
13:31or come into contact with other matters,
13:35it creates a very dangerous driveway as well.
13:39So, you know,
13:40just be cautious,
13:41be diligent,
13:42and recognize that
13:43when you are in charge of a vehicle,
13:45it's a serious responsibility
13:46and you are actually
13:47playing with your life
13:48and the life of other motorists.
13:50And remember
13:50that you have a duty or care mark.
13:53Once you get on the nation's road,
13:55automatically,
13:56you have a duty or care
13:57to the persons that are using the roadway.
13:59So, again,
13:59unfortunate situation.
14:00I hope that that situation
14:02that you have provided for us
14:04is not one that
14:04ended up in any fatality
14:07or any very serious injuries.
14:09But, you know,
14:09let us be responsible.
14:12All right.
14:13So, I don't know if you all recall
14:16that several months ago
14:18we profiled this person
14:19as a missing person on the program.
14:23His name is Marlon Henwood.
14:25The family at Originity
14:26offered a reward of $10,000
14:30and now they are offering a reward
14:33of an additional $30,000,
14:35all in all now $40,000
14:37for any information
14:39regarding his whereabouts.
14:41Now, Mr. Henwood
14:41has been missing
14:43for about seven months now
14:44and he is 56 years old.
14:48He was staying with relatives
14:50in Separia
14:52and they said that
14:53they last saw him
14:54on the morning of Carnival Sunday
14:56walking in the Laramene area
14:58following his disappearance
15:00in March.
15:00His mother told the express
15:03she was informed
15:04that he was involved
15:04in a fight
15:05and was taken
15:06to the Separia Health Facility
15:08and then later transferred
15:10to the San Fernando General Hospital
15:11for a computed CT scan
15:14which was done.
15:16She said her son
15:16had a cut under his right eye
15:18and his eye and his nose
15:19and lips were swollen.
15:21Now, she said that
15:22he was later discharged
15:24from the hospital
15:25but before they could arrive
15:26from Separia
15:27he left the institution
15:30and he supposedly has
15:32some mental health issues.
15:35So, we are urging anyone
15:37with information
15:37about the whereabouts
15:38of Mr. Henwood
15:40to please reach out
15:42to the nearest police station
15:44or even the Hunter's Search
15:46and Rescue Team
15:47at 799-1453
15:48with any information
15:50so that the family
15:51can get to Mr. Henwood.
15:54Well, thank you very much Mark
15:55for raising the citizenry
15:57to assist
15:58in locating
16:00this gentleman
16:01and I'm happy
16:01that you went into
16:02some very fine details
16:03with reference to him
16:05and specific to him.
16:07One thing I'd like to add to that
16:08you have spoken
16:09about the police station
16:10and you have spoken
16:11about the Hunter's Rescue Team
16:14because of the sensitivity
16:17that you have identified
16:18in relation to believing
16:19based on the information
16:20that he may be affected
16:23with mental health issues.
16:26I will also take this opportunity
16:28for persons
16:29who may have information
16:30useful information
16:31to also hint it
16:33to the mental health hospital
16:35so that just in case
16:38there needs to be a response
16:39you have the professionals
16:41who can respond
16:41to that situation
16:42in a proper manner
16:43and to be able to treat
16:44with the situation immediately.
16:45So I just wanted to add that
16:47in terms of
16:47because of the sensitivity
16:48that you have placed
16:49into the domain
16:50but again
16:51Mark from our societal context
16:54we are a society
16:55that if you look at
16:56the statistics
16:57sometimes you realize
16:58that we take for granted
17:00that issue of mental health issue.
17:02It's a very, very important issue
17:04and sometimes we think
17:05mental health thinking
17:06that you see someone
17:06lying down on your roadway
17:08or maybe slapping away flies
17:10that is not present
17:11but it have a lot of persons
17:14who are moving about
17:15that are affected in some way
17:17whether small
17:18but it could just be
17:20a stressful situation
17:21and you know
17:22we must be responsible
17:23in terms of how we behave
17:25so in this situation
17:25let us also engage
17:28the mental health hospital
17:29if in fact
17:29we have useful information
17:31about this individual
17:31so again Mark
17:32thanks very much
17:33missing persons
17:34could you imagine
17:35a family
17:36have to offer a reward
17:38to be able to
17:40get some assistance
17:41to look at their loved ones
17:42very, very significant
17:43this is
17:43I mean
17:44don't make this comparison
17:45but this is not a flower
17:46that we are looking for
17:47this is a human being
17:48he's also a Canadian citizen
17:50that's correct
17:51so you know
17:51it's very unfortunate
17:52that you have to be
17:52offering a reward
17:53for a human being
17:54when in the first place
17:55no one
17:56should be having
17:58any opportunity
17:58to be holding anyone
17:59against their will
18:00or to be exploiting anyone
18:03that's in a case
18:04someone may have
18:04a mental illness
18:05there's no justification
18:07for that
18:08and I'm asking anyone
18:09with information
18:10for this particular individual
18:11or any other person
18:12who may have been
18:13reported missing
18:14to please provide
18:16the information
18:16including children

19:15regarding a particular car
19:17allegedly transporting
19:18farms and narcotics
19:19from the Maracas Bay area
19:22following a high speed chase
19:24through Saddlewood
19:25and the Santa Cruz area
19:26the suspect abandoned
19:28the vehicle
19:28and fled on foot
19:29by jumping into a river
19:30subsequent search
19:32of the vehicle
19:32led to the discovery
19:33of at least
19:34three bales
19:35containing 90 bricks
19:36of cannabis
19:37which were seized
19:38and the vehicle
19:39was later transported
19:41to the San Rafael

19:42for further investigation
19:43and then there was
19:45another separate exercise
19:46in the San Juan district

20:37to you all
20:37and it's again
20:38Mark
20:38evidence
20:40of the police
20:40as you indicated
20:41you know
20:42making detections
20:44and you know
20:45seizing
20:46you know
20:47illegal contraband
20:48ammunition
20:48and what have you
20:49and we ask the members
20:50of the public
20:50to continue
20:51you know
20:52to provide the intelligence
20:53and information
20:53to be able to
20:54you know
20:54increase in the seizure
20:56and arrest of persons
20:57and may I say
20:58the persons
20:58who may have escaped
20:59or may good his escape
21:01I should say
21:02regarding the high speed chase
21:04in Santa Cruz
21:05Saddle Road
21:06you know
21:07if there are persons
21:07with information
21:08and intelligence
21:09we are interested in that
21:11because we don't want
21:12a situation
21:12where the drugs
21:14recover
21:15but the person
21:16who is responsible
21:17for the movement
21:17you know
21:18is still out
21:18you know
21:19running around
21:19and importantly
21:20the vehicle
21:21in most instances
21:22Mark
21:23sometimes
21:23not saying
21:25this particular
21:25instance
21:25because I'm not aware
21:26of the facts
21:27but I'm using this
21:28as an academic point
21:29persons who are
21:30the owners of vehicles
21:32and persons
21:33are renting your vehicle
21:34or borrowing your vehicle
21:35please exercise
21:37due diligence
21:37as to what exactly
21:38they are going to do
21:39with the vehicle
21:40if you are
21:41not careful
21:42your properties
21:44can be caught up
21:44in evidence
21:45or you can be
21:46called upon
21:46to answer
21:47in a court of law
21:48as to why
21:48that vehicle
21:49should be returned
21:49to you
21:50if there is a conviction
21:50because
21:51part of the
21:53enforcement
21:54is not only
21:55to look at
21:56the narcotics
21:57or look at
21:57the firearm
21:58or look at
21:58the person
21:58who is arrested
21:59with those items
22:00but the instrument
22:01of the crime
22:02the instrument
22:03of the crime
22:04the vehicle
22:05that is in question
22:06is an area
22:07that
22:07when it comes
22:09to me in particular
22:09I can tell you
22:10that I direct
22:10a lot of effort
22:11in relation to the vehicle
22:12because if you take
22:13the vehicle away
22:13then you start
22:15to limit
22:15the movement
22:16of narcotics

27:18go back to
27:18the figure
27:20of 3,100
27:21persons
27:21arrested
27:22that's quite
27:23a significant
27:24number of
27:25persons
27:25and it
27:27might even
27:27be more
27:28interesting
27:28to have
27:29a deeper
27:30analysis
27:31to ascertain
27:31where
27:32from a
27:34geographical
27:34context
27:35from a
27:35divisional
27:35context
27:36where
27:36those 3,100
27:36persons
27:37were arrested
27:37and perhaps
27:40looking and
27:41seeing whether
27:41criminal
27:43proceedings were
27:43initiated
27:44against those
27:443,100
27:45persons
27:46or many
27:46of those
27:47persons
27:47but again
27:48a very
27:49significant
27:49figure
27:49when we
27:50are talking
27:50about crime
27:51and criminality
27:51and again
27:52the area
27:53of the
27:53dangerous
27:54drug
27:54a very
27:54important
27:55area
27:55for analysis
27:56you realize
27:57that the
27:57dangers
27:58of cocaine
27:59and cannabis
27:59continue to
28:00be the
28:01two drugs
28:02that is
28:02frequent
28:04or I should
28:05say obvious
28:05on the
28:06chart
28:07but again
28:0780 odd
28:09pistols
28:10we are
28:10approaching
28:11that 100

28:16other agencies

28:18fight
28:18and by
28:19extension
28:19the
28:19citizens
28:19of Trinidad
28:20and Tobago

28:23statistics

28:24that you
28:24all will
28:25get excited
28:25not get
28:26excited

28:28seeing
28:28law
28:28enforcement

28:33one of the
28:33figures
28:33you would
28:34like to
28:34impact
28:34Mark
28:34may I
28:35put that
28:36to you
28:37the statistics
28:37that you
28:38have quite
28:39clearly read
28:39this afternoon
28:40and which you
28:41continue to read
28:41on a daily
28:42basis
28:42which one
28:43of the
28:43rows or
28:45columns
28:45you think
28:46that you
28:46can impact
28:47would you
28:47impact
28:47the firearm
28:48column
28:49would you
28:49impact
28:49the dangerous
28:50drug
28:50so I'm
28:51asking you
28:51and the
28:52citizenry
28:53get excited
28:54and impact
28:55one of those
28:55columns and
28:56rows so
28:57I'll leave
28:57that up to
28:57you to tell
28:58me which
28:58one you
29:00might be
29:00inclined to
29:01impact
29:01if not now
29:02and in the
29:02near future
29:03I hear you
29:04I hear you
29:04I mean
29:05information is
29:06something that
29:07every citizen's
29:08it's every
29:08citizen's
29:09responsibility
29:09if you know
29:11about some
29:11illicit operation
29:13happening in
29:13and around
29:14your area
29:14that you can
29:16bring an end
29:17to by of
29:18course contacting
29:18the police in
29:19an anonymous
29:19fashion if you
29:20feel uncomfortable
29:21giving that
29:22information in
29:23an official
29:25capacity by
29:25walking in
29:26and saying
29:26I understand
29:27X is involved
29:28in Y
29:28and we're
29:29seeing a
29:30movement of
29:30X and Y
29:31and Z
29:31so it's
29:32important that
29:32regardless of
29:34the category
29:34there we
29:36should all
29:36try to
29:37or endeavor
29:37rather to
29:38kind of push
29:40the envelope
29:40across the
29:42board
29:42even for
29:43these simple
29:44things if I
29:44look at one
29:45of the
29:45columns there
29:46traffic
29:47offenses
29:48detected
29:48we're near
29:4928,000
29:50and it's
29:52less than
29:52it's almost
29:53less than
29:53100 days
29:5497 days
29:55and when you
29:56if you want
29:56to calibrate
29:57that and
29:59divide that
29:5997 into
30:0027,900
30:04odd
30:04you could
30:05and you get
30:06a figure
30:06for a daily
30:07average
30:08it'll be
30:08phenomenal
30:09and most
30:10certainly
30:10and Mark
30:10I'm happy
30:11that you took
30:12me into
30:12the area
30:13fixed penalty
30:14notices as
30:15well
30:15and perhaps
30:16in the near
30:16future
30:17I may be
30:17in a better
30:18position to
30:19speak
30:19more openly
30:20in relation
30:21to some
30:21strategy
30:24for the
30:25units that
30:25are involved
30:26in traffic
30:27duties
30:28for example
30:29like the
30:30transit
30:30municipal
30:31police
30:31so very
30:32soon I'll
30:33be making
30:34some statements
30:35from policy
30:35and other
30:36contexts
30:37but I'm
30:37happy that
30:37you take
30:38me there
30:38and one
30:39thing I
30:39always say
30:40with the
30:40fixed penalty
30:40notices
30:41I don't
30:42want a
30:42situation
30:42where we
30:44are basically
30:45embracing
30:46statistics
30:47and not
30:48looking at
30:48the quality
30:49of the
30:49issuing
30:49of the
30:50fixed
30:50penalty
30:50notices
30:50so it
30:51must be
30:52a situation
30:52where it
30:53must be
30:53clear detection
30:54of offenses
30:55and not
30:56situations
30:56where we
30:56are just
30:57issuing
30:57fixed
30:57penalty
30:57notices
30:58but there
30:59is no
30:59detection
31:01and it's
31:01more of
31:02abuse of
31:02a process
31:03you know
31:03I want us
31:04to be
31:04very
31:04circumspect
31:05in terms
31:05of when
31:06we are
31:06looking at
31:06quantity
31:07versus
31:08quality
31:09and more
31:09importantly
31:10just today
31:11I asked
31:11a particular
31:12unit
31:12to tell
31:13me
31:13how many
31:14fixed
31:15penalty
31:15notices
31:15were actually
31:16paid
31:16and that
31:17gives an
31:17indication
31:18that the
31:18motorists
31:19the acceptance
31:20that they
31:21didn't
31:21commit a
31:21breach
31:22and they
31:22find
31:23the time
31:24to go
31:25and pay
31:25as opposed
31:26to looking
31:26to contest
31:26and it
31:28turns out
31:28that they
31:28are successful
31:29so these
31:30things we
31:30need to do
31:31some critical
31:31analysis
31:32and Mark
31:33will be
31:33remiss of me
31:34as well
31:34if I don't
31:35take this
31:36opportunity
31:36as well
31:37with the
31:39Tobago

31:45extend it

31:48a peaceful
31:48carnival in

34:59What does it have in common?
35:03This.
35:04ITIS.
35:05But what does ITIS really mean?
35:08The suffix itis denotes inflammation of a specified organ or tissue.
35:13ITIS really means inflammation.
35:16How do we combat chronic inflammation?

36:38Welcome back to Beyond the Tape. I'm your host, Mark Masson.
36:49Of course, joined today by Acton Sergeant Zahir Ali of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service and Attorney at Law.
36:55You know, before the show, I wanted to ask, perhaps you took a haircut because you were hoping that might change the fortunes of the West Indies.
37:03They did a little bit in the last game of the, they had to go into the superwoofer.
37:07But I wanted to hold that thought because you have a caller on the line.
37:10Caller, good evening and welcome to Beyond the Tape.
37:12Pleasant good afternoon. I am a member of the family of the Beyond the Tape.
37:21Of course, I am a song illiterate or back in times.
37:25But, you know, Trinidadians, drivers, they have no respect, no compassion for others on the streets or on the road at all.
37:37My contribution is that, if they like it the hard way, bring back the old time days, the hand signal.
37:46We will pay for Paul and Paul pay for all.
37:49Because there is too much ignorance that is going on on the road in Trinidad and Tobago.
37:57Why when they go in other countries, they abide with the other countries' law?
38:02And why the disrespecting our country? That is unfair. That is unfair.
38:08And Mr. Ali, I would like to speak with this person concerning a serious matter, a private matter of my own.
38:17I left a message to you, but I did not get back in contact with you.
38:22May God bless you all. Reach home safe.
38:25Remember that God have you all in the palm of His hands.
38:29No weapons from against you shall prosper.
38:32Have a blessed and pleasant night. Reach home safe.
38:36Thanks a lot. Caller for your kind sentiments, Sarge.
38:40Similarly, Mark, thanks very much. You know, Mark, you know, when you have persons basically praying for you, simple as it is, she offered prayer to us.
38:51And that is significant. And, you know, my lady, thank you very much for that.
38:55It means a lot. And, you know, thank you for engaging in the conversation as well as reference to the road traffic issues.
39:01You know, she actually, if I heard right, advocating for going back to the long-time days, meaning, quote-unquote, looking for hand signals.
39:08Because when we were doing our drive-in test, Mark, you know, we were heavily embedded in what?
39:12Learning the hand signals and conducting ourselves properly.
39:18Now, with the advancement, you have basically using technology.
39:22You know, you want to change lanes, you have an indicator.
39:25But, you know, very, very important to get part of the discussion.
39:29And I hope that wherever you may be at this time, that, you know, you find it.
39:33You know, educate your family in a small way.
39:36You know, educate your community in a small way.
39:38You know, these are things that we need to spend time doing.
39:40So, when we meet, you know, let us engage in positive discussion.
39:44Because we want to be able to meet again, God's willing.
39:47And, you know, let us always be, you know, Mark, it might sound like something that is simple.
39:53But persons coming over by you and leaving.
39:56You know, the reminder.
39:58When you reach home, you know, text me.
40:00Be careful on the nation's road.
40:01You know, giving them a reminder.
40:02Or even looking at their condition to see whether, in fact, they can handle the road.
40:07It might be a situation where they're exhausted.
40:09What?
40:10A number of hours.
40:11Maybe with different activities.
40:13But they may not be in a position to go on the nation's road.
40:16Are you in a position to ensure that that person is rehabilitated in order to engage the nation's road?
40:21So, again, it called for some level of responsibility.
40:24Mark, I recall sometime, a couple of years ago, you know, having, and I wouldn't call the country, but, you know, I went on a foreign jurisdiction.
40:33And, you know, what they call a nightlife.
40:36When one o'clock, two o'clock in the morning, everything shuts down to ensure that persons get home safely.
40:44Because that one, two to that four, five, that is where the aggravation starts.
40:50So, again, these are things that, from a responsible condition, you know, these are things that we need to consider.
40:58Even from our, while we might be involved in trade, I mean, looking at profits.
41:03At the end of the EDN, you want those persons to come back another day.
41:06So, we should also be responsible to the persons who are basically engaging our establishment as well.
41:11Look out for them.
41:12Give them advice.
41:13You know, so Mark, I just wanted to share those brief perspectives.
41:15But, all in all, we need to get, we need to get involved and, you know, be part of the discussion for positivity.
41:22Most certainly.
41:23All right, we have another caller in line.
41:24Caller, good evening and welcome to be on the tape.
41:27Good afternoon, Mr. Sebastian and Mr. Sergeant Ali.
41:31Good evening to you, sir.
41:32Good evening to you, sir.
41:33A couple of issues, and I am seeing a lot of things happening that is consistent with the objective of the current Prime Minister with respect to mitigating crime.
41:48I'm going to go to break after it.
41:49I am seeing the reduction in homicide, which is excellent with respect to the police service.
41:57I am seeing a punishment, new chief justice.
42:01You all have put up a chart to basically benchmark the success of the SOE.
42:09I believe another chart, another column has to be added.
42:16And this column is, has to do with the TTPS and officers within the TTPS and the security apparatus, who have been found wanting and who have facilitated crime.
42:35Because you have to fix externally, and it appears based on your, your, your spreadsheet.
42:40That appears to show some success.
42:42I'm still disappointed with the amount of ammunition, um, because you all have had.
42:47Two or three years ago, they say it was 12,000 outside, yeah?
42:51Now, in order that we make good crime effectively, we have to have a functional TTPS.
43:01I'm not saying there mustn't be any blemish, but there must be something that has to deter officers and security organizations to prevent them.
43:19They say when you see something, say something.
43:22And I want to suggest that TTP officers, when they reach a particular rank, should file integrity and public life forms, disclose all sorts of assets.
43:40And why I'm saying that, and I'm going back to something that is relevant.
43:47Tuesday, September 2025, a month ago, there was an article with respect to the Brent Thomas Institute.
43:58And the POP, a previous year, he said, he has given an affidavit, he has given, Simon and Affidavits, indicated that he gave okay for the personnel to go to the Barbados and basically bring back that person.
44:21That to me is surprising.
44:22I'm not a lawyer, but I want to know who vested that authority in him to give that permission for that three officers to go to Barbados.
44:36I have been told from listening to another COP, a COP by the name of Jishi, that authority is not residing in the COP.
44:49It has to come from a higher authority.
44:51All right, caller, thanks so much for your questions.
44:55And definitely, Sergeant Ali will answer them after this short break.
44:59So stay with us.
45:00Every year, Trinidad and Tobago celebrates Calypso History Month in the month of October.
45:20If you've been following the Police Museum page, you would see that we are dedicated to sharing the history of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service.
45:29So what does the police uniforms, drills and salute have to do with the expression and the larvae of Calypso?
45:37Well, the TTPS Calypsoians and the police band have been keeping the culture alive.
45:43So come with me to find out more about these Calypso Cops.
45:47Now this is Radical Trading, you know what? And them have everything to cover anything.
46:02Radical Trading have the best fabric designs for your poster and needs, yeah?
46:06So furniture, car, boat, tent, even material for school bag.
46:10This one looks really nice and like out, boy.
46:13They even making pillows, too.
46:15Sprang.
46:16Those shirts are forgetful money.
46:18Serious?
46:19They could pay for it for me.
46:20Me and my big mouth, boy. I wonder if Radical get things to cover mouth yet.
46:25Radical Trading, four locations nationwide.
46:27And since I started using the product, back on the court again.
46:30I had a passion for the cricket.
46:32Since I'm using this Omega, I can still go.
46:34I experience it.
46:35What is that?
46:36And you use this product.
46:37You have no pain, no ache.

48:22Welcome back to Beyond the Tape.
48:34I'm your host, Mark Bassan.
48:35Of course, joined today by Acting Sergeant Zaheer Ali,
48:38attenient law with the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service.
48:41And I know you have to quickly respond to the last caller.
48:44Well, Mark, you know, a lot was said from the previous call.
48:50And, you know, thanks for the engagement as well.
48:52But one word, you know, stood out to me in terms of, you know, that word functional.
48:56You know, I think it's very important for any agency, you know, any institution, even in a family home.
49:03You know, that word functional, you know, it means a lot.
49:05It's, you know, and we should reflect on it in terms of exactly what it means for our particular area.
49:10So I just wanted to highlight that.
49:12But again, you know, the caller, you know, has raised some very, very significant issues.
49:16And a very interesting issue he has raised as the last point I'll make in reference to him,
49:21with reference to that Integrity in Public Life Act.
49:23It's a very serious piece of legislation.
49:25And, you know, he has asked, he has advocated for it to be applicable to police officers.
49:30I think it's a good reading.
49:32I have perused that legislation.
49:34And there may be a hint that, you know, in that legislation, and I will use the word may, may be applicable.
49:41It may be an issue of, you know, actually applying it and enforcing it.
49:45But again, a very interesting way to look at it to ensure that we hold public officers accountable,
49:50especially when they may be in a situation that, you know, it may be a situation where if you're not careful,
49:57that, you know, you could end up either misbehaving or, you know, pursuing, you know, undue enrichment,
50:07if it's the proper term to use, with reference to persons who may be exposed to opportunities.
50:12So, again, that legislation may be applicable and probably something to look at.
50:16But, Kola, thank you very much for highlighting it this afternoon.
50:19Yes, certainly.
50:20All right.
50:21We just want to bring you up to speed with two young women.
50:24The Children's Authority are asking anyone with information about them to contact, of course,
50:31the authority at 996 or the police at 999.
50:34The first is Ashley Muhammad, 17, last seen in the Port of Spain area.
50:39So, please, if you have any information about Ms. Muhammad, contact the Children's Authority at 996 or the police at 999.
50:47Well, Mark, very significant, and I spoke about missing persons a while ago, and in this case, two children, one 15 and one 17, based on my recollection.
51:03It's a very clear picture that you felt that they aren't beyond the tape on this particular program.
51:20There's an urge and a need to obtain information to be able to find them so that they can be, you know, reunited with their family or guardians, as the case may be.
51:30Now, the point I want to draw here is the fact that is here, it means that one can infer that parent, guardian, or person with responsibility for these children has given no consent to anyone to be in the care, sorry, in the presence of these individuals or to have these persons for any purpose.
51:51That's not clear. So, persons who may be in the presence of these individuals, I'm asking you immediately to communicate so that these persons can be reunited because the law will be applied to you.
52:05Very, very significant issues, Mark, when we speak about our children. I want to repeat, the fact that it has been tabled here this afternoon, it means that the parents or guardian, a person with responsibility, have given no one the permission or consent to have these persons with them.
52:20All right, I think we have our caller on the line. Caller, good evening and welcome to be on the tape.
52:27Yeah, good evening. Good evening, officer. Good evening, Mark.
52:31Good evening to you. Good evening.
52:32Yes, officer, I have heard where somebody trying to bomb a particular office in South A and it's not the first time they try to bomb them with a particular female and it has been said, why, why are they supposed to do that?
52:49It's the second time and I hope they really catch that person because you cannot just try to throw things in somebody's office and try to light them up on fire.
52:57So, I hope they catch that person. That's my first point. My second point is, the number of times people have been on this program, we have spoken about, be careful what you see on the Facebook and what you make arrangements about.
53:10The number of times that has been said, people have been shot, people have lost their money. What again can be done to really assist these people to not to take part in these things just like that?
53:22And officer, and I remember you were really concerned about the fireworks. And I read where after this holiday, somebody has been outraged about what took place with the fireworks and I read where the Prime Minister said legislation will be introduced and in this term, and she noted that exceptions will be made for culturally significant occasions.
53:46But they were really outraged and I know you were really, you were really talking about that, you were concerned about that because I saw you on another program talking about the truth.
53:53You see, because when those people with the drivers who don't like to use the indicator, sometimes when you say that, and you want to, you walk into the road and you see them and you don't know whether they're going straight or exactly, they put on the indicator and then they just, you know, I say, what happened, the indicator not working?
54:07And sometimes they will, they will play it in here, you know, and sometimes something else, but you have to be really strong for them.
54:13Because I remember I was in a taxi going until I remained one day, and the fellow going through the red light and saying, well, what kind of ambulance is that so you could go through the red light?
54:20I said, yes, they went through the red light. Everybody saw you went through the red light. Then you're not supposed to do that. And he said, all right, all right, all right.
54:27Phone through the red light playing crazy. All the best to all of you. Be safe, all of you.
54:33Thanks for the caller.
54:34Thank you very much, caller. Mark, I want to take the point in reference where she raised the issue with the fireworks.
54:40And by extension, public nuisance emerging from noise pollution. I know that's a very sensitive matter.
54:45And yes, I did, in fact, advocate and reminded on this program and other programs with reference to the offenses in the law book.
54:52Not with something that they are very, very, you know, light sanctions, but I emphasize the need to obey the laws of Trinidad and Tobago.
55:03And yes, the government has spoken about a policy position of law reform, but I want to say publicly that the enforcement, and this is an area that seems to be very, very concerned about the enforcement.
55:20So if persons are making use of explosives, Mark, if I should ask for the statistics now, how many persons was engaged or were engaged as the case may be?
55:29How many persons were arrested? How many persons were charged? How many items of explosive were seized?
55:35If we are really looking to force the law, we will be able to at least start with a good response.
55:41I want to assure the nation that in very, very, very soon that, you know, I will be speaking in a different context with reference to dealing with some of these issues that have been troubling Trinidad and Tobago with the, you know, upper echelon to see if we can bring some ease to the pain and suffering that has been caused not only to the human being, but even to the animals and other stakeholders.
56:03So bear with me, but, you know, I'm hearing you, I'm listening to you, and, you know, the time will come, you know, for that response to invite you to participate in that process.
56:12So, Mark, thanks to the caller for making those submissions.
56:15Thanks a lot, Sergeant. And just before we go, we just have a couple of minutes.
56:18We want to remind you of a Trinidad and Tobago Tong meeting takes place, I believe, tomorrow.
56:25It's the Southern Division, Princess Stong, Southern Division, Princess Stong Police Station.
56:31Well, it's at the Princess Stong Police Station in Southern Division.
56:34It's at Mohamed Convention Center, St. Croix Road, Princess Stong.
56:42It starts at 6 o'clock tomorrow.
56:44So everyone in that area, please go out and, you know, have a conversation with the officers there.
56:52You know, relay your concerns, your suggestions, and anything else that you believe that can assist your environment or your community, rather, in becoming a safer one.
57:06Yes, most certainly. And, you know, this, again, these are the opportunities to be heard.
57:10That's a right that we afford for, Mark, and even from a policing context.
57:14The platform is there to be heard.
57:16And please take full advantage to be heard, to be able to contribute to safety and security or the well-being of your community.
57:26So, you know, make use of the opportunities.
57:28Well, I have one question to ask you.
57:29You know, did you take your haircut thinking that the West Indies can pull off the win?
57:33I think they won yesterday. What about the next game?
57:37Well, you know, Mark, I think that looking at West Indies cricket, you know, without prejudice, I think it may be more than a haircut.
57:43You know, I know that there's a lot of cry and a lot of focus in West Indies cricket.
57:47And, you know, I think that a lot needs to be done with West Indies cricket.
57:50And, you know, I probably take it from a regional context and even bring it down to the various jurisdiction that forms part of West Indies cricket.
57:57But again, a very important sport. And I hope that the decision makers and the stakeholders really get involved in the discussion to look at rebuilding West Indies cricket.
58:05We have heard about it. You know, there was a word that they used some about a year and a half ago to reinvigorate.
58:10And I hope that we really get the opportunity to reinvigorate West Indies cricket because of the many benefits that it has.
58:17All right. Thanks so much, Sergeant. Obviously, I hope you don't have to cut your year for the West Indies to win again.
58:24Remember, we run tonight at 1130. Repeat tomorrow at 11 o'clock.
58:30The TV6 News is up next. Stay with us and we'll see you back here tomorrow at 6 p.m.
58:36Have a great one.
