02:12Good evening, Trinidad and Tobago and those of you across the globe.
02:16We welcome you to be on the tape.
02:18I'm your host, Whitney Husbands.
02:19And I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend.
02:21A safe one.
02:21As we stress, no tickets.
02:24That is the code.
02:25No tickets.
02:26Now, for those of you who are not aware, we are in an election.
02:31And that is in Tobago.
02:32T-E-T-E-L-E-C-A election, to be exact.
02:34And over the weekend on Sunday, we saw a clash of supporters from two parties that became extremely violent.
02:40Along with persons not sure what sparked it, but let's just say our police commissioner is letting it be known that his presence was felt today.
02:50Along with the support of the T-T-P-S to make sure there was a smooth and violent free election.
02:57Along with what also took place, we saw some tragedy taking place at a waterfall, the persons who went to hike.
03:04And, of course, to give us more info on that, we would like to welcome the man of the hour every Monday, Captain Rambarat, who is here with us.
03:12So, give us a little more insight on that and other things that are taking place with missing persons in Trinidad and Tobago.
03:17Good evening.
03:19Good evening, Whitney.
03:20And a pleasure.
03:21And good evening to our viewers on Beyond the T-F and TV6s.
03:24And our global audience, as well, it's a pleasure to be here.
03:27As usual, every Monday, and as you spoke about the THA elections, the polls will have just closed.
03:34And I hope that, you know, as always, we would have had free and fair elections in Tobago.
03:42And with respect to the drowning on Saturday, Whitney, I want to have a conversation with you and with the public.
03:53And especially the hiking groups.
03:55And I'm saying to the hiking groups today, quite clearly, that we need to have a conversation.
04:03Call Hunter's Search and Rescue Team at 799-1453.
04:08Let's sit down around the table and let's have a conversation.
04:11Whitney, on Saturday was not a good hiking day.
04:16At my home, I love the outdoors.
04:21I couldn't go out because rain fell continuously.
04:25We were up in Madamas on that day.
04:27Rain fell lightly to moderately in the Madamas area on Saturday.
04:33That's one thing.
04:34And so if we could come and sit down together, we will exchange our views.
04:41A lot of stakeholders are very, very concerned about what happened on Saturday.
04:48You see, hiking is now an industry.
04:51It creates economic activity for certain skills.
04:55And Hunter's Search and Rescue Team supports hiking as an outdoor activity and the best form of exercise there is.
05:05But I am not willing to understand this because you can't just go and hike.
05:08But that was not a good hiking day.
05:11And I will go into something that should not have been allowed on that day.
05:16Hunter's Search and Rescue Team is probably the only team or group of persons in Trinidad and Tobago that is certified in Wilderness Risk Management.
05:29Next weekend, we have recertification for the team.
05:34Right?
05:35We have recertification for the team.
05:37Let's come together.
05:38Let's lift the industry standards.
05:41We do not want fly-by-night organisers having hikes.
05:46Let's set the industry standards to world industry standards.
05:52The second thing about the hiker, Madamas, it was muddy.
05:57And you have hikers walking in shoes, sneakers.
06:02Sneakers, that's weight.
06:03We maneuvered there effectively with our boots.
06:07But that is not a place to walk with sneakers.
06:09We will have a lot of slipping, sliding, and injuries.
06:13Now, the third thing is that the hiketrail wasn't anywhere up to industry standards.
06:22You didn't have a perfectly cut trail.
06:24You didn't have any markers on the trail.
06:27You didn't have any red tags showing spots of difficulty, spots which may be unsafe.
06:34And also, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, so that needs to come up to industry standards.
06:42And whilst I walked the trail on Saturday, I knew to myself that Madama should be off the hiking trails.
06:51Now, until we could get it up to Mark.
06:54And the third thing, Whitney, we left fire services to bring out the body.
07:00And I will explain to the viewers why.
07:04After the body was, so they went to Madama's waterfall.
07:07We found the trail they went, which was through the forest.
07:10They got to the forest.
07:12They probably had a bath.
07:14It was 2 p.m.
07:15Probably someone was looking at the time.
07:18And they decided to walk down the river and not back through the route they came in.
07:25So the body was found exactly where it was left.
07:30And after real difficulty in retrieving the body,
07:35fire services decided to use their skid and floats to go down the river with the body.
07:40Right there where she fell, there's a gorge called the Madama's Gorge.
07:44I looked at it.
07:46And I said to my teammates, we are not going to go that way.
07:51You know what we did?
07:52We had the best hikers in this country.
07:55We went back the way we came.
07:57Fire services came equipped with floats and skidders to float the body down the river.
08:04I had with me 2 non-swimmers.
08:06We went in with a team of 13 members.
08:09And because we had 2 non-swimmers,
08:12these are persons who would carry gears for us and equipment.
08:16I did not follow that route to exit.
08:20We returned how we came.
08:22And finally on this point, on that day, was not a good hiking day.
08:29We cannot be persons who want to make money by any means necessary.
08:34We must have standards.
08:36Stick to the standards.
08:37And when it's not a hiking day, we call it and we say it as it is.
08:42Captain, you look very upset.
08:43Well, I never ever get angry.
08:45But I think I have to be full.
08:47Yeah, you really look upset this evening.
08:48And I want to tell you why.
08:49A good friend and a person who is well known to Trinidad and Tobago, Terrence B. Pat, he lost his son either last year or this year, early this year.
09:03No, last year.
09:04Okay.
09:04There was a hiking incident on the Paria Trail.
09:08And then about a month ago, a hiker was injured in the Tombasau waterfall area, in the Lalaha waterfall area.
09:18It took 48 hours to extract him with a broken leg.
09:25And they were rappelling on the waterfalls.
09:32Now, if you know Lalaha River well, there are several waterfalls on that river.
09:37So they were doing what is called extreme hiking and rappelling there.
09:41But he broke his leg and had to be extracted.
09:44A lot of resources were used.
09:46Now, the persons who organize it, were they certified?
09:50Do they did studies in risk management?
09:56And we have to set certification standards and standards for all involved in the industry.
10:04Because, listen, I support the industry with me.
10:07I love people who go outdoors.
10:10And I love to see people exercising.
10:13It's the best form of exercise.
10:15But persons need to be aware of really finding a group that is knowledgeable and, as you said, certified in hiking and risk management.
10:24Because I was always of the impression that if I felt like hiking today and they say, okay, these are the places you can hike, you can just pick up yourself and go and hike.
10:32No, it's not recommended unless you get a certain amount of experience.
10:37I would recommend that for sure.
10:39Right?
10:39Yes.
10:40And you know the area, right?
10:42So, for instance, you've got to know if you go in Mount St. Benedict, right?
10:47You have nice, short trees.
10:49However, on the mount, the priests have beehives.
10:53Oh!
10:54Right?
10:55The priests there, they harvest their honey for sale.
10:59And they have beehives.
11:01So, if you're going in there blindly, because the trees are lovely, right?
11:05Yes.
11:05Really, really lovely.
11:07If you're not aware of that, and we went there and we had to extract a young man who was severely bitten by bees.
11:14Thank God he's alive.
11:16And so, in every hike, there are dangers, there are risks involved.
11:23How you reduce the risk and how you prepare yourself to deal with any safety issues that come up is very important.
11:33I asked the question of the hikers on Saturday.
11:36Did you have a piece of rope with you?
11:39Did you have any rope with you on that day?
11:43Our team doesn't go out.
11:44Whether we walk in the highway, byway, where ropes are not needed, we have our ropes all the time.
11:54This is just our condolence.
11:55This is the family with the loss of the young lady.
12:00And the footage that we're seeing here was actually the incident that took place?
12:03Yeah, yeah.
12:03All this was in the Madama's area.
12:06By the way, it's three hours trek to go in and a three-hour hike to come in.
12:11Actually, the guy, if Jackie could just hold it right there, the guy in white, that's her boyfriend.
12:19And he had asked for us to take him in as well.
12:23Not this white there, the one that went before.
12:25Okay.
12:25Right?
12:26Next in here?
12:26This guy here with the sheets on his head.
12:28And that's her uncle in the back there.
12:31It's heartbreaking.
12:31He was able to, the uncle was able to identify the body when it came up for us.
12:38And so, yes, this is the exact area.
12:40You see everybody looking concerned.
12:42Yes.
12:43Of course, upset.
12:46Yeah, good to see it.
12:46And sad because, you know, nobody wants this to happen.
12:50At all.
12:50And I hope persons who are interested in hiking or custom hiking because, as I said, you believe
12:55the, you know the trail at the back of your hand is important that you have persons who
12:59will guide you and give you the proper information.
13:01And, as you said, assessing also the environment because it has to be conducive for you.
13:08You have to.
13:08So, let me tell you about Mademus Brassoceco.
13:12So, I was telling my teammates on the way out, I said, listen, this is the first time we've
13:17never encountered a poisonous snake called the mappipi balsi.
13:23And lo and behold, about 10 minutes after on the trail, I was able to say to them, look,
13:28there is one, a juvenile mappipi balsi on the track, highly venomous snake in Trinidad
13:36and to be in Trinidad, and there it was on the track, right?
13:40So, you have to know the level of risks.
13:44That is a forested remote area, and therefore, there will be the venomous snake called the
13:52mappipi balsi, as well as the mappipi zanana, which really doesn't present.
13:58itself on hiking trees as much as the zanana, the balsi.
14:04So, all these things, you have to be knowledgeable, you have to carry safety
14:08equipment, you have to carry safety gear, and also, you have to know what to do when
14:13the risk arises.
14:16I want to make one point again.
14:18Hunter's switch and rescue team has been, will be five years old in February next
14:24year, and at no point in time have we ever had a member who had a scratch, a bruise, or
14:33any injury whatsoever on their skin.
14:38And we've gone through, I don't have to tell you, the most rugged terrain in the country,
14:44we've gone through all the areas with all the risks.
14:47And the reason for that is not that we are lucky, our team pays attention to the physical
14:55safety of its members at all times.
14:59The risk is too high, we withdraw.
15:02Yeah.
15:02Like we've seen there, the rope again, the rope is very important.
15:05Yeah, the rope, that rope is a handy tool for anyone.
15:08So persons who are accustomed to hiking, I hope you listen to Captain here this evening,
15:11because these are situations where persons really need to pay attention, along with the
15:16weather as well.
15:17Pay attention to that, and be aware of your surroundings, which is most important.
15:22At this time, we're going to head over to another mission.
15:25Yes, so we had one other mission, and this was last week, Monday, when I came into the
15:30program.
15:30You know, this young man, a young man by the name of Ronald Ramblogan was missing, 23-year-old
15:37from the St. Mary's village.
15:39And our search continued for him until his body was found in the heights of Guanapu.
15:46On this day that you're seeing us there, we spent the entire day with various units of the
15:52Trinidad and Tobigo Police Service, the Special Investigations Unit, the Prince's Town Task Force,
16:00and other units who were with us searching for him.
16:06We spent an entire day searching various parts of South Trinidad, and then his body was found.
16:13Now, the thing about Ronald's thing is, one, his youth, and then he sustained two gunshot wounds
16:20to the head.
16:21So it speaks to that link between youth, crime, and criminality, and you know, it's occurring.
16:29But he was well known in his community, and you know, I hope the police could bring the
16:38perpetrators to justice in his regard.
16:42His uncle adopted him.
16:45He's a policeman.
16:45And he adopted Ronald until he was 18, and Ronald took the decision to go back by his alien father.
16:55I suspect he didn't have the freedoms he had as he was under the policeman's care.
17:01And he became wayward, right?
17:04But even though he became wayward, the extent to it, the persons in St. Mary's are seeing, you know,
17:09it did not warrant him being murdered.
17:12And therefore, you know, but you know, life is about choices.
17:16The fact that he left a good home, and to go back to his father's home, who is ill and bed-stricken,
17:24so that he could have that freedom, you know, may have at the end of the cost of his life.
17:30Yes.
17:31So at this time, we take a look at what's taking place in his sister aisle, which is Tobago.
17:36So let's take a look.
17:40So here what we are seeing is what we spoke about in the opening of the show,
17:44where we saw some supporters of two parties clashing.
17:47And it became violent from words, and some persons apparently became a bit physical.
17:55And the passion of individuals, I guess, you know, trying to show their support and allegiance to their said party,
18:02they took it a bit too far.
18:04Yeah, and I think this is the second one I saw with respect to violence.
18:08I saw another one earlier in the week.
18:10And it's very strange for Tobago.
18:13Now, let me tell you, I used to love the exchanges in Tobago, right?
18:17Because they would have fun, they would talk about their political parties and stuff,
18:24but it was always with love.
18:26So to see these two videos coming on just prior to the election today, I mean, is very disturbing.
18:34At no point should violence enter that.
18:36And you have to be aware that whosoever is elected or which party is elected,
18:41you have to get together the next day and you have to continue life
18:44and your neighbors will be on an opposing party.
18:46But you have to live with them.
18:48Yeah.
18:48Right now we have a message this morning from the Gold Commander, Deputy Commissioner of Police,
18:54Suzette Martin.
18:55So let's take in that message.
18:57As polling gets underway across Tobago this morning,
19:00the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service is fully deployed and operational
19:05to ensure a safe, secure, and orderly election.
19:10Police officers are positioned at all polling stations with mobile patrols, tactical operational
19:19teams, and reserve units on standby.
19:23Our deployment is intelligence-led and highly visible, designed to provide reassurance to voters,
19:30election officials, and the wider public.
19:35At this time, there are no reports of any major incidents or disruptions.
19:41The voting process has commenced smoothly, and the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service
19:47is working closely with the Election and Boundaries Commission and other partner agencies.
19:53We remind all members of the public that the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service remains strictly neutral.
20:02Our role is to protect the democratic process, maintain public order,
20:07and ensure that every citizen can exercise their right to vote freely and safely.
20:16And that's the message from your Gold Commander, DCP, Suzette Martin.
20:20And of course, I hope persons really, you know, taking what you were saying and understand
20:24that they are there to make sure everything runs smoothly.
20:27And so far, fingers crossed, things went well.
20:30Yeah, and as a necessity by the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service, being proactive to be there
20:36for anything, any fallout or any eventualities, anything that may happen to disrupt the voting process
20:42and, by extension, the democratic process in Tobago.
20:47So we commend them, again, for being proactive and, you know, enlightening the public,
20:52let the public know you're out there.
20:53Now let's take a look at what the Commissioner of Police had to say.
20:56I want to make a brief statement because we pressed for time.
20:59Okay.
21:00All right.
21:00As part of the political and electoral process of Trinidad and Tobago,
21:05the police service has a specific mandate with regards to ensuring that the democratically
21:09elected process is able to go on without any hindrance, without any problems.
21:17Thus far, we have been able to discern that for this morning,
21:22we can report no reports of electoral violence, any discrepancies, and all of that.
21:28So we have a very smooth voting process across the entire polling, all the polling divisions.
21:34All right.
21:35There are no negative reports thus far.
21:37And we continue, myself and my team, visiting the different polling stations
21:42and ascertaining feedback from the officers there.
21:44I agree with that totally.
21:58Here's day 180 of the SOE update.
22:01Let's see what's taking place.
22:03Number of operations, 13,639.
22:08Target priority offenders, 3,983.
22:13Searches conducted, 89,817.
22:17Traffic operations, 9,055.
22:21Total persons arrested, 5,282.
22:25Total persons charged, 2,625.
22:29Traffic offenses detected, 47,132.
22:36Firearms recovered a total of 286.
22:39Ammunition recovered a total of 3,776.
22:44And we see an increase in the cannabis and cocaine with the dangerous drugs seized.
22:49So once again, the TTPS, they are working or trying their best
22:53to have control over the crime and drugs in TNT, Captain.
22:56Yeah, and they've been successful thus far.
22:58But, you know, the SOE will come to an end by the end of January.
23:02And so, you know, we're waiting to see, you know, what would be put in place.
23:07By the way, there could be an extension with a special majority if it goes to the parliament.
23:13And if not, you know, things must be put in place,
23:15especially for things like, you know, entering people's homes
23:19and detaining persons of interest.
23:22Yes.
23:23Right now, let's see what's making today's headlines.
23:56And those were the stories making the headlines to take.
24:02We'll take a short break.
24:03We'll be back.
24:03At Cruise-In Hotel and Yachting Center, we're all about time.

26:38Captain, we are back once again.
26:41And I know that we need to get some updates with missing persons.
26:44Yeah, but before I do that, Whitney, I know you detected that my concern with the hiking issue.
26:51Yes, yes.
26:51And I wanted to just speak my mind and speak to the right thing because I think it's the right thing to do.
26:57But in the haste to do all of that, I forgot really to thank, first of all, my teammates for their passion, for responding to a call that we got at 11 p.m.
27:09and having 13 members out there, leaving their homes at 3 a.m. in the morning without breakfast, lunch, or very little things.
27:16Anything on their stomachs.
27:18Anything.
27:18Cricks and cheese.
27:19Yes.
27:20And then, you know, arriving there at quarter to six to ensure that we were prepared to enter the forest.
27:28And secondly, I really wanted to thank and say, give our thanks to Trinidad and Bego Fire Services because we worked in collaboration with them.
27:39And they worked really hard to get, to have this body extracted from a difficult area.
27:47So I want to thank them very much.
27:49Yes.
27:49They are our comrades and, of course, the Blanchisha's police officers who were present waiting for the extraction process to take place and then to take over the proceedings.
28:01Yes.
28:02So I want to say thanks to them.
28:04But for January thus far, Brittany, we've had only six reports and today is day 12.
28:12Now, before I say that, we have a reduction.
28:16It's not a reduction.
28:18It's similar to what we experienced in the past few Januaries where right after the festive season of the Yuletide festive season, we see a slowdown.
28:31But we will see a pickup late in January into February as the carnival beckons, right?
28:40Season is going on.
28:40So out of the six thus far, we've been able to account for four persons.
28:45Two persons remain missing.
28:47And the first one is one that I want to share some concern with, and he is Dorrell Francis.
28:54Now, Dorrell is a ward of the state, right?
28:57Which means that he's institutionalized in a home.
29:01And he would have been granted some leave to be with his family, and he would have run away from home.
29:10But the thing about Dorrell is that, you know where Dorrell is?
29:14I could tell you where Dorrell is.
29:16Where?
29:16So I want to appeal to the folks in Bagatelle, Digo Martin, this evening, that if you spot Dorrell and you think the police could come and get him,
29:27or you think we could come and get him, or we could call the police to go and get him, please call us at 799-1453.
29:35Whitney, at 14 years old, you should not be liming in company.
29:43That will do you no good, right?
29:45He's already a ward of the state, and currently he's in the wrong hands.
29:49And these are the young youth that are at risk.
29:53And we have to do everything in our power to prevent him, so that someday later on, when he gets to be 18, 19, he can make a wise choice.
30:01Do not engage him at age 14, right?
30:06And let him go back to his institution where his learning will continue.
30:12This is a very big cause of concern.
30:14You know what happened with me?
30:16He sees us approaching, or a blue light approaching, and they will run.
30:21Run, yes.
30:22Run.
30:22And somebody will keep him safely, and that's my concern, right?
30:27So if you see Daryl Francis, he is there.
30:31We could confirm that he's in the Bagatelle area in Digo Martin.
30:35Call us, please.
30:36We want to get him back and allow him to continue his education.
30:41And the second person who is still outstanding, Celine Hospitalis.
30:47Celine, from New Grant, we know the number of the vehicle.
30:52So you went willingly, we saw the videos, and we are appealing to you.
30:57Your parents are concerned.
30:58They're not hearing from you.
31:00We have an idea where you are, but we are appealing to you or anybody who knows where she is,
31:06or who knows her whereabouts, or her friends who are communicating with her.
31:12So please speak with her and tell her it is in her best interest to return home.
31:18Or call us at 799-1453 or the nearest Princess Stone Police Station, no, Cable and Police Station,
31:26if you have any information on her.
31:28So that concludes the report for January 2026 thus far, Whitney.
31:35Yes.
31:35I hope for the young persons who are missing in these situations here that they could find the route behind why they are running away from places that's supposed to be a safe haven.
31:47We don't know the full logistics of it, but to find out deeper why they may have run away, because we still don't know.
31:54It was a runaway case.
31:55And I've been on the program for more than a year now, and when it comes to this, I also, not get upset,
32:00but state firmly that I have concern with these homes and institutions, the level of safety,
32:07and really the root cause analysis of how come they're able to get away and be outside there, right?
32:14I know it's a difficult thing.
32:16I know sometimes these children are, you know, difficult to manage, and that's why they end up there in the first place.
32:23And behaviors are uncontrollable.
32:27But, you know, I think my concern remains supervision and the best interest of the children who are at these homes.
32:36Yes. We take a break. We take your calls on more when we return.
32:39As we enter into a new school term, I want to reflect on the progress we have made since the launch of the School-Oriented Policing Initiative in September 2025.
32:51Because of the commitment of the principals, teachers, parents, tutor, NPTA, and the Ministry of Education,
33:00we have seen a reduction in offenses and a safer learning environment for our children.
33:07I want to thank all our stakeholders for supporting this initiative.
33:12Together, we have made a significant difference.
33:16Let me assure you that the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service stands committed to being present in our schools and our communities.
33:24Because when we come together and we are all on board, we can protect our children, strengthen our communities,
33:30and provide safe spaces so that we all can learn, grow, dream, and thrive.
33:37Securing our schools. Securing our future.

35:47Now, there was a murder that took place over the weekend
35:50Sunday, to be exact, at the Maloney area.
35:52Now, shadow murdered in Maloney Gardens.
35:55Police are investigating the fatal shooting
35:58of a 26-year-old man at a car parked in Maloney Gardens
36:02on Saturday night.
36:04The deceased has been identified as Kel Johnson
36:07also known as Shadow of Building 18 Maloney Gardens.
36:12According to police reports,
36:13officers attached to the Maloney Police Station
36:16received a report at approximately 9.55 p.m.
36:20of a man who had been shot at the Building 18 car park.
36:25First responders arrived at the scene around 10 p.m.
36:28and found Johnson in the back seat of a vehicle
36:31with apparent gunshot injuries.
36:34Of course, the investigation continues there.
36:37Captain, we see that, you know,
36:38even though we're in an SOA,
36:40crimes still have it.
36:41And I think if you look at the previous Januaries,
36:44for the last few years,
36:45it has always been a runaway in terms of murders,
36:50large amounts, when I mean 40 in 50 days and so forth.
36:54I think we're somewhere still below 12,
36:59but nevertheless, remember,
37:01things have to be put in place
37:04so that we could get,
37:06you know, continue to see,
37:07you know, less murders.
37:08One murder is too much in this country.
37:11But you look at the area,
37:13so you say, okay, Maloney,
37:15we've been there before,
37:16we know what is happening,
37:18and therefore we need to pay much attention to that area.
37:21Some attention because something is brewing there, right?
37:24You know, you have the random murders
37:26taking place in different localities
37:28that are really strange to the area.
37:30So you say, well,
37:30probably it's a crime of passion
37:33or something like that.
37:35But with respect to Maloney,
37:38you know, they need to monitor it
37:39and see, you know,
37:40to what level the gang activity
37:42is reoccurring in that area.
37:45Yeah.
37:46Also, just to mention,
37:47there was a murder in Digo Martin as well,
37:51where we saw a 24-year-old Renis Willan
37:53was founded in his apartment.
37:56Now, we have a caller on the line,
37:58so let's head to the phone lines at this time.
38:00Caller, good evening.
38:01Hello, good evening.
38:02Good evening, sir.
38:04Yes, I'm holding on.
38:05Yes, you're live, you're live.
38:07You're live right now, sir.
38:10Could you mute your television
38:11so you can hear us?
38:13I think it is important for me at this point
38:16to make a comment on this show.
38:19First of all,
38:19I would like to congratulate TV6
38:22for all that I've been doing
38:24to project and to promote this program.
38:28I want to take special time this evening
38:31to congratulate Captain Rambarat
38:33for his extensive knowledge
38:35of the terrain of this country.
38:38I am very impressed
38:40by his vast knowledge
38:41of the requirements
38:42for proper and safe hiking.
38:46I would like to speak
38:48about his perpetual advice
38:49to prospective hikers
38:51and alert them
38:54of the requirements.
38:57And, of course,
38:58his analysis
38:58of the hunting and hiking requirements.
39:01I think it's important
39:02that his commitment
39:03to the task
39:05together
39:05as colleagues
39:06must be recognized
39:07and appreciated.
39:08Thank you very much.
39:09Yes, thank you so much, caller.
39:10Yeah, much appreciated, caller.
39:12And I think, you know,
39:13you hit the nail on the head.
39:15You know, industry standards
39:17that I spoke to
39:18at the beginning
39:18of the program.
39:20And we need to raise
39:21the threshold
39:21because these debts,
39:23these debts
39:24on hiking trails,
39:26I mean,
39:27it's unacceptable.
39:28We must have zero, right?
39:31I pointed out
39:33to two persons,
39:34one a death
39:35and one an injury.
39:36That ought not
39:37to have occurred.
39:38So if we set
39:39high standards
39:40and we...
39:40You know what it is,
39:42Whitney,
39:43it's really about
39:44self-regulation
39:45because
39:46they will be regulated,
39:48you know,
39:49if they do not
39:50come to the table
39:51that I'm proposing
39:52and be self-regulated.
39:56Let's set the standards
39:57for ourselves
39:58and let's meet
40:00the standards
40:00so that the industry
40:02could continue.
40:03The industry is
40:04an important one.
40:06It's good economic activity
40:09provides income
40:10for persons
40:11and, you know,
40:12as I said,
40:14I like people
40:14when they go with us.
40:16We have to protect
40:16the lives
40:17and you want to
40:18be seen.
40:18Yeah, we don't do any injuries.
40:19Do like us five years
40:21and not even...
40:22And you're young
40:23and it felt like
40:24it's whatever
40:24you're doing this with us.
40:25And you know,
40:26it's a little chook.
40:27We haven't even gotten
40:28that to take a tweezer
40:30to pull out,
40:31you know,
40:31a turn from our palm
40:33of our hands
40:33or from our fingers,
40:35which means that
40:36we practice
40:36a high level of safety.
40:38And I wish
40:39if the hiking industry
40:40to come
40:41and come on board
40:42with us
40:43and let's take you
40:44to that level.
40:44I need to go on
40:45hike with you one day
40:46and experience it.
40:47We have fun-loving group
40:48so you don't feel tired,
40:51you don't feel exhausted.
40:52So we would have spent,
40:53let's say,
40:5416 hours out there, right?
40:56I would have returned home
40:58at 11 p.m.
40:59Well, left home
40:59at 3 a.m. on Sunday,
41:01returned at 11 p.m.
41:03Made a run
41:04to Port of Spain
41:05to be on a talk show program
41:06with Corporal Chavali
41:07between 11, 12 and 1
41:11and then get back
41:12caught back to Central
41:13to get something done
41:14as well
41:14and then to,
41:16of course,
41:16get back to Port of Spain
41:17and I don't ever
41:20feel tired about it.
41:21You need to give me
41:22some of that energy.
41:23Just saying.
41:24You have also on me.
41:25We have a caller
41:26on the line
41:26and said back
41:27to the phone line.
41:27Scholar, good evening.
41:29Good afternoon, my dear.

41:50I was in a show
41:52and I see her perform,
41:54perform very well.
41:55That was so lovely of you.
41:58I want to start
42:00with the gentleman there.
42:02So,
42:03it's time for them
42:04to recognize you
42:05in this country
42:06because they're doing
42:07an excellent job,
42:09you know.

42:20to be recognized
42:21in this country
42:23for a good work,
42:24not only you,
42:25but your entire team.
42:27So,
42:28it's time
42:28for you to start
42:30to get funding
42:30by the government
42:32to continue
42:33to do
42:33what you are doing

42:50Have a pleasant evening.
42:51Much appreciated,
42:53Kuala,
42:53and again,
42:54I like how you
42:54emphasize that
42:55it's not only
42:56Valence Rambride,
42:57it's about
42:57the entire team
42:59and it's about
42:59the teamwork
43:00we put out there.
43:01And I will tell you
43:02something,
43:03the captain
43:04is intrinsically
43:06motivated,
43:07which means
43:08that I'm passionate.
43:09Yes.
43:09I'm passionate
43:10about what we do.
43:11I'm 61.
43:13I'm going strong.
43:15You know,
43:15giving back something
43:16to Trinidad and Tobago
43:17and equally
43:18my teammates.
43:20And so,
43:21the thing is,
43:23with respect
43:23to, you know,
43:24recognition,
43:25you know,
43:25we're motivated
43:27inside and that
43:28was important,
43:29right?
43:29We know
43:30our words are there.
43:31If it comes our way,
43:32we take it.
43:32Which I think it will.
43:33It's well deserved.
43:34Women refuse,
43:35but we're intrinsically
43:36motivated.
43:37I mean,
43:38what will make
43:3913 men and women
43:41get out of their beds
43:43at,
43:43well,
43:44probably 2 a.m.
43:45and leave in Vegas
43:47to get
43:47to that remote
43:49part of Trinidad.
43:51I mean,
43:51leave their homes
43:52at 3 a.m.
43:52It's passion.
43:53It's passion and love.
43:54And a massive heart.
43:56And love for what they do.
43:58And so,
43:58Carla,
43:59you're right.
44:01It takes a lot
44:02from us
44:02with respect
44:03to funding,
44:04Carla.
44:04I just want to say this.
44:06The one thing
44:06that as the leader
44:07I'm careful about
44:08is who funds us.
44:10Don't want to get,
44:11I always say,
44:11I don't want to get tied up
44:12with a crab.
44:13I don't want to be,
44:14we don't want to be
44:15beholden to any one
44:16entity or entities.
44:19The funding
44:21is necessary,
44:22but it must come
44:23with no strings attached.
44:24The one thing
44:26I do not want
44:27really,
44:28and when I speak
44:28of no strings attached
44:30is really taking
44:31instructions from
44:32someone who say
44:32to me,
44:33Valance Rambrack,
44:35don't go into
44:36madame.
44:37Don't do me that.
44:39I will go.
44:40And so,
44:41no,
44:42because there is
44:42no,
44:42I agree.
44:43I agree.
44:44It's getting
44:45milky when you do that.
44:46I don't blame anybody.
44:47Yeah,
44:48but you dare to really
44:48save lives.
44:49You work in a structured
44:50organization
44:51where there are
44:52chains of command,
44:53right,
44:53and you really
44:53can't take a decision
44:54so that you will say
44:56I need to pass it
44:57by this one,
44:57that one.
44:58But time is going
44:59and time is of the essence,
45:01right?
45:02I am the leader
45:03of the team.
45:04I take the decisions
45:05and that decision making
45:06takes less than
45:0750 seconds.
45:08Now said.
45:09We take that break.
45:10We'll be back.
45:12How much does a funeral
45:24go for these days?
45:25I guarantee
45:26the figure you're thinking
45:27is way smaller
45:28than the actual cost.
45:30But Q&A Caribbean's
45:31family indemnity plan
45:32can help.
45:33For a monthly payment
45:34of less than $70,
45:35you can cover up to
45:36nine family members
45:38and you do have to
45:39take a medical exam
45:40to sign up.
45:41So do stick.
45:42Get the family
45:43indemnity plan.
45:44Why?
45:45Because it's a good thing.
45:47Trust me.
45:48Q&A Caribbean Insurance.

45:51Terms and conditions apply.
45:53Still using wipes?
45:54Drop it.

47:30She's 81 years today.
47:32She's the patriarch
47:33of our family.

47:37I must say.
47:38And I know you're locked on,
47:40mom.
47:40So happy birthday

47:43TV6 family,

48:03Gorgeous.
48:04So happy birthday,
48:05mom.
48:05And she's an energizer
48:06by Whitney.
48:06Yeah, I understand.
48:07Me, I'm Whitney.
48:08So she's even more energetic
48:10than me at age 81.
48:1281 years young.
48:13So you know where the genes
48:14come from, right?
48:15Yes,
48:16it was definitely.
48:17So enjoy your birthday,
48:18mom,
48:18and more blessings to you.
48:19We have another call
48:20on your line.
48:20Let's head back
48:21to the phone lines.
48:22Caller, good evening.
48:23Hello, good evening.
48:24Good evening, mom.
48:25How are you?
48:26I'm fine, thank you.
48:27Happy New Year to you,
48:28my husband,
48:29as well as Captain.
48:32Happy New Year to you.
48:34Happy New Year.
48:35I think she has a delay.
48:37Yes,
48:38it keeps buffering.
48:40Captain,
48:40I would just like to say
48:41that I admire your patience
48:43and it is what is needed
48:44with handling the people
48:47that you come across.
48:49One thing I need to mention
48:50as someone who worked
48:51in an institution,
48:53the children are not always there
48:55because of their behavioral issues.
48:58A lot of them are there sometimes
49:00because parents are no longer around
49:03one reason or the other.
49:05They're in jail or passed away.
49:07And they have no other family member
49:08equipped to take them.
49:11So there are many reasons.
49:13So I would be clear to think
49:14that others are thinking
49:16that, oh, you know,
49:17he grew up in an institution,
49:19grew up in an orphanage,
49:20and he is, so to speak,
49:24a bad boy or a bad girl.
49:26Yes.
49:26I know you mean well,
49:27but that's just my peak.
49:29Thank you so much, Colin.
49:30Have a blessed evening.
49:31Right.
49:31And, Colin,
49:32I appreciate the comment
49:33and really that is important
49:36that we remain non-judgmental
49:40with respect to these children.
49:42And where children are concerned,
49:43you know,
49:43we have to be warm-hearted
49:45and kind no matter what to them.
49:47My really concern was
49:49with respect to the number of runaways
49:53we've seen from the homes.
49:54And I understand your point
49:57that there are other factors,
49:58not only dysfunctional families
50:00or children who,
50:02behavior is out of control,
50:03but, you know,
50:04the question of deceased parents
50:06or, you know,
50:07other things as well.
50:08But I want to commend you
50:10for your work with children
50:12and I know God will richly bless you.
50:15Now, Captain,
50:16that job is not easy.
50:17It isn't easy.
50:17It is not easy.
50:19In fact, all caregivers,
50:20once you are a caregiver,
50:22you have to have that patience,
50:24you have to have that love
50:25and understanding,
50:27whether it is, you know,
50:28for the elderly
50:30or for children.
50:32I mean, listen,
50:33you all are God's angels.
50:35Yeah, because different personalities
50:36you're dealing with,
50:37different maybe issues
50:39and also we cannot leave out
50:41mental issues
50:42that some persons may be faced with
50:44and trauma-like issues
50:46that they may have encountered
50:47in the past
50:48and then now these individuals
50:49who often now come
50:50and be almost like
50:51that safe haven
50:52for these individuals.
50:53Yeah, and the more
50:54caregivers we have
50:55in the country,
50:57the better it is.
50:58In fact,
50:58if someone could start
50:59a volunteer care organization,
51:01I want to just say something
51:02with you.
51:03We have a family
51:03that called me
51:04on the weekend.
51:05Their father went missing
51:07in July of 2025
51:10and we conducted several searches.
51:14So their daughter,
51:15her name is Vicky,
51:16she was in contact
51:17with me over the weekend
51:18to say,
51:19Captain,
51:20this pain,
51:22this agony,
51:23it not going away,
51:24you know,
51:24and I said to her,
51:25I said,
51:26remember what I told you,
51:27maybe about three weeks,
51:29I was being honest with her,
51:30I said,
51:30Vicky,
51:31you know,
51:31if you found our body,
51:32that pain will go away.
51:34But you see,
51:34not having found our body,
51:36that's an eternity of pain.
51:40And so,
51:40you know,
51:41people who show love
51:42and compassion
51:43and there are many people
51:45with these issues out there.
51:47I mean,
51:47if you're helping,
51:48let's help.
51:49Yeah,
51:50it was definitely
51:50we have a caller.
51:51Caller,
51:51good evening.
51:54Caller.
51:55Hello.
51:56Hi,
51:56good evening,
51:56you're live.
51:58Hello,
51:58good evening.
51:59Yes,
52:00go ahead.
52:00I'm saying good afternoon
52:02today,
52:03the gentleman,
52:04who is on the show
52:05there now.
52:07Yes,
52:08go ahead,
52:08sir.
52:09I'm making a suggestion
52:10to the gentleman,
52:12the Field Naturalist Club
52:13goes every month
52:15on field trips.
52:17But I'm suggesting
52:18to the gentleman
52:19that they're on the program
52:20that if you could give a list
52:22of what is required
52:23to take
52:24when people are going
52:25on a hike.
52:27Okay,
52:28thank you.
52:28Sure, so,
52:28when I come next week,
52:30Monday,
52:30I will bring a list
52:31and we will just
52:32go through it briefly.
52:33Whitney,
52:33if the caller
52:34wants that
52:35and we could
52:36get that done,
52:37right?
52:38And the thing
52:40is,
52:40it's important
52:41to take things
52:42with you,
52:42like I said,
52:43anywhere you go in.
52:44Whitney,
52:45do you have a rope
52:45in your car,
52:46piece of rope
52:46in your car?
52:47No,
52:47I should get one.
52:48So just get a short length,
52:49probably our six is cheap
52:50to start with
52:52and it'll cost you $20.
52:53Should I have a knife too?
52:54One that is deemed lawful,
52:57right?
52:57So I think the standard requirement
52:59is for four inches.
53:01That was not a joke,
53:02by the way.
53:02Yeah,
53:02no,
53:03people carry implements
53:04in their vehicle
53:05for various purposes,
53:06some for agriculture,
53:08like if you have a cutlass,
53:09it must be properly sheeted
53:10in its case,
53:11so I guess the knife
53:12is the same thing too.
53:14But there is a legal limit
53:15to the length of the blade.
53:17So caller,
53:19yes,
53:19I will do the list
53:20and bring it
53:20and we go through it
53:22on Monday.
53:24Yes,
53:24most definitely.
53:25We have another caller.
53:26Caller,
53:26good evening.
53:28Hello,
53:28good evening.
53:29How are you?
53:30We are okay.
53:31How are you?
53:32Not too bad.
53:33I just would like
53:34to say congratulations
53:35to the awards
53:36to Captain Palance.
53:38This is Carol
53:39Stalancing
53:39Jadunanan here.
53:41He is a remarkable
53:42individual.
53:44When it comes
53:44to finding
53:46loved ones,
53:48Missing?
53:51Yes.
53:52Oh,
53:52she's gone?
53:52Yes.
53:53Oh,
53:53thank you.
53:55Captain,
53:55you love.
53:56The love is overwhelming.
53:57I know her.
53:58She just messaged me.
53:59Yes.
53:59I saw the message
54:02and said I would respond
54:03when I get home
54:04at 9 p.m.
54:05this afternoon.
54:06But still,
54:07much appreciated,
54:08Carol.
54:09Yes.
54:09And of course,
54:10you know,
54:10we saw the police commissioner
54:12also awarded you as well,
54:13showing appreciation
54:14for the hard work
54:15that you're doing,
54:16not just with,
54:17working with the TTPs
54:18and the continuous work
54:19that you all have
54:20with the organization itself,
54:22but bringing closure
54:23to families,
54:24which you mentioned shortly.
54:25Yeah,
54:25and it's working well.
54:26I mean,
54:27on Saturday,
54:28I told you,
54:29Blanchishers called
54:30at, what it was,
54:3111 p.m.,
54:32and they got an answer
54:35right away
54:35that will be there.
54:37And throughout the experience
54:38from then to now,
54:39it has been one of
54:40a continued collaboration
54:43with the Trinidad and Tobago
54:45police officers.
54:46And I'll tell you this,
54:47Whitney,
54:47the more hands on deck,
54:49the better it is.
54:50The TTPs has tremendous resources
54:53in terms of knowledge,
54:55manpower,
54:56equipment,
54:57that has to bring,
54:58that will bring to bear,
54:59you know,
55:00helping these families
55:02whose loved ones
55:03go missing
55:04and trying to find them.
55:06Yeah.
55:06I hope the persons
55:08that see you,
55:10not just on a Monday,
55:11but almost every single day
55:12in different spaces,
55:14that they're able
55:15to show appreciation to you.
55:18Well, it happens.
55:18Because the humility
55:19that you have
55:20is one that is
55:22really nice to see,
55:23but I know your team as well
55:25is also showing that
55:27support and humility as well.
55:29Right.
55:30So if you know me well,
55:31Whitney,
55:31I'm really a lot
55:34into culture
55:34and I love my country,
55:37but I've never strayed away
55:38from my roots
55:39and the fact that I'm simpler.
55:41I always tell people
55:42I don't have any rich friends,
55:44you know.
55:44I always keep close
55:46to the ground
55:46because I love interacting
55:47with the ordinary person.
55:50I find the ordinary persons
55:53to be very, very humorous.
55:56They're facing challenges,
55:57yet they meet these challenges
55:58with a smile
56:00and they work hard
56:01and those are the persons
56:03that I appreciate a lot.
56:05Connectivity, foundation.
56:07Throughout my life,
56:08I've remained very, very simple.
56:10Always trying to get in the bush,
56:12you know.
56:14Well, I mean,
56:14it is working in your favor
56:15because you're able
56:16to also bring joy
56:18to individuals
56:19in different ways.
56:19Yeah, I learned a lot
56:21over the years.
56:22So now I'm using
56:23that accumulated knowledge
56:25and that confidence
56:26to, you know,
56:29to give back to persons
56:30and so are my teammates as well.
56:32Yes.
56:32You know,
56:33I understand that.
56:34I'm sure persons
56:35may be willing
56:36to also assist you
56:38on your team moving forward.
56:39Yeah.
56:40How persons could,
56:41if they're looking to...
56:42So what do we do, right?
56:44Oh, I understand me for you,
56:45Ann.
56:45So quickly,
56:46we had a call on the line.
56:47I don't want to call a waiting,
56:48so let's take that call.
56:49Call us, sorry.
56:50Good evening.
56:51Yes, good evening.
56:52Whitney and Captain Valence Lamberai.
56:55Yes.
56:55Now, I was saying
56:56a long, long time ago
56:57that you should be given
56:59an award
57:00and I'll just turn on
57:01my television
57:02at 6.35,
57:046.45
57:05and realize
57:06that that has been realized.
57:08So I am happy
57:09to know
57:10that that was bestowed
57:12upon you, sir.
57:14Much appreciated, call.
57:16And Whitney,
57:17well, I spoke about that
57:18as well,
57:19but for Kola,
57:20you know,
57:21we say that
57:22our team is intrinsically
57:24motivated
57:25but whatsoever comes our way,
57:26we take it.
57:27Whitney,
57:28people can help.
57:29We heavily network.
57:30Yes.
57:30So we do have a sponsorship
57:32from a franchise.
57:36However,
57:36if you're going to Madame's,
57:38how do you get lunch?
57:40How do you get meals?
57:41So we heavily network.
57:43Only thing on Saturday,
57:44I couldn't call anybody
57:45to say,
57:46hey,
57:46cook our rice
57:47and pizza
57:47and chicken for us, right?
57:49So we heavily,
57:50but members of the public,
57:51look out for our call.
57:53We know our people
57:53throughout Trinidad
57:54and Tobago
57:55because sometimes
57:56we're in an area
57:57where it isn't pizza
57:58but to send a member
57:59to collect lunches
58:00for us
58:01and then collect it
58:02to dinner instead.
58:04But Captain,
58:05we thank you as usual
58:06for the hardwood
58:06that you're putting in.
58:07Back next week,
58:08Monday.
58:09Get ready for news up next.
58:10TNT.
58:10God bless.
58:11Until tomorrow,
58:11we're out.
