08:58to the families that are needed and I'm sure they're happy the family sorry they
09:02are elated with regards to having their loved one back home so a job well done
09:07of course at the hunter search and rescue on to the entire team and also to
09:11these citizens who assisted assisted I'm giving information to make sure that
09:15that person was able to make their way home and I hope that you all could
09:18continue doing so for the other missing persons as well now ASP there are some
09:25videos circulating on social media and this one in particular where we are
09:29seeing some licensing officers and a motorist engaging in what I I don't know
09:35what to call it ASP because many persons we only saw pieces of the video and
09:41obviously where we got the juice of after city juice because that's where the
09:46excitement took place I have seen the video as well I actually saw it when it
09:54was aired last night over the news and I want to discourage every member of the
10:02public for behaving that way this is the incident is under investigation but what
10:10I can assure the public is that the gentleman is in police custody and
10:17inquiries are continuing if you sitting at home have the intention to behave that way
10:24when you are being addressed or in the presence of the authorities please note that you will suffer the same
10:36consequences
10:37now the licensing officers say that we know when we see them the white shirts and the blue that they
10:46they come to do deal with business but when persons react like this to the licensing officers are they able
10:52to arrest do they have firearms on them that they could protect themselves
10:56where where are we I'm not certain if all licensed officers are precepted and have the
11:01authority to carry firearm because I'm a police officer not a licensing officer but I would have seen them using
11:07firearms and have handcuffs and stuff like that I mean in this case the situation with tears would have worked
11:13well and yes they do have a power of arrest for some traffic offenses as well with respect to how
11:20the gentleman behaved there I mean you know
11:25it's clearly we have seen some level of assault there yeah I'm covering with the government's vehicle mm-hmm yes
11:32he did so right now he's in police custody he's important custody on it I was all continuing well in
11:40this case
11:40yes we are seeing he assaulted members of his service and in this video he was stating give me back
11:50my keys
11:51mm-hmm now I know as you said you're not a licensing officer but impounding a vehicle could also mean
11:56the licensing officers holding your keys
12:01well myself once I don't want to delve too much into this situation or television there are a lot of
12:09things behind it too as well
12:11well sometimes you look at situations and it is called in a let's say a different court correct because he
12:21may want to go civil to sue for something there would be criminal proceedings as well so I don't want
12:27to stand on air and pronounce on it not knowing all the facts I am like you looking at the
12:33video and the video started at a particular point correct now there are a lot of things that are circulating
12:39in the media
12:40there are a lot of things that are circulating on social media and person saying certain things preceded that yes
12:49you know so because I don't have the facts I refuse to stand here and comment on it but what
12:55I'm saying is inquiries are continuing and the public will indeed get an update however
13:02what I am certain about is that he is indeed in police custody and any member of the public who
13:10chooses to be of that way they themselves will find themselves in police custody as well we take a no
13:20-nonsense approach to that
13:21now I really hope that these citizens see what is taking place there and ASP there are people who have
13:26rigid boiling point and whatever they may be faced with and that one incident or situation which is encountered anyone
13:32from the service could tipple persons into reacting in that way and as I say your life could change in
13:38seconds so you need to control yourself regardless of what is happening with you and really think about what are
13:44the consequences that could lead to you reacting in a negative way that could lead you like where the gentleman
13:50is
13:51right now yeah definitely you know and I mean we need to really manage ourselves and our emotions first you
13:56know emotional intelligence is something we have to really take into consideration when dealing with these things because had he
14:03just complied it may have had a different outcome a different outcome of course
14:07and he still faces traffic offenses and now he's not facing criminal offenses so there will be an attorney involved
14:12lawyer money bail money the cost will escalate and it doesn't even make any sense so might as well you
14:20just comply with instructions of course there's there are things like appeal
14:24if you if you're given a ticket if you're given a ticket and you're not pleased with the ticket there
14:29is a system where you can contest it so take a ticket and go online and apply to contest it
14:36and all of that would have been avoided yes of course and of course as you mentioned just now where
14:43persons obstructing officers and officials of the state this could be you if you don't abide by what the officers
14:50are saying or bail for security officer
14:52a security officer charged with obstructing police a security officer has been charged with obstructing police officers in the execution
15:00of their duty following investigations into a report of a home invasion in Arima now Tisha Badal 29 appeared before
15:09Justice of the Peace Marilyn Martin today Tuesday the 10th March 2026 where she was granted bail in the sum
15:16of $30,000
15:17she's expected to reappear at the arima high court north on March 11 2026 another security officer was also allowed
15:27to leave pending further investigations and for those of you wondering what this officer did this was a situation where
15:34officers showed up at the gated community in Arima where they were trying to get to a woman who was
15:41calling with regards to a home invasion that was taking place and she was on zoom at the point in
15:46time to understand her
15:47the co-workers were indeed looking in on it as well and you know the security apparatus is a security
15:54apparatus and I would advise all security officers to comply and cooperate with the members of the Trinidad and Tobago
16:00police service especially in cases where they would have so identified themselves by way of the Trinidad and Tobago national
16:07Trinidad and Tobago police service ID card some have the badges I understand there were marked vehicles present as well
16:14so you know we have to be able to utilize our judgment and make the correct decision notwithstanding the circumstances
16:23or the instructions you may have been given otherwise because let's say you're in a situation where the CEO of
16:31the company told you don't let any police come in
16:35where is the CEO now who is before the court you are the CEO correct so you have to use
16:40your judgment you have to use your wisdom
16:42and of course feel free to ask a question I understand the officers did identify themselves and stuff like that
16:48so you you were without a doubt satisfied that these were legitimate police officers responding to a report
16:55yes it's time for your SOE update let's take a look
17:03making the SOE update today number of operations 686 number of targets priority offenders 249 searches conducted 976 traffic operations
17:16372 total persons arrested 260 total persons charged 53
17:24fire arms recovered we're seeing an increase in the pistols giving us a total of 15
17:29ammunition recovered 187 wrongs increase of 9 millimeters also increase of the wrongs of 5.56 and we are also
17:41seeing an increase of the 0.45 and the wrongs of 7.62
17:48and a total of 376 and a total of 376 and dangerous drug sees we see increase in cannabis and
17:54of course grams of cocaine and we didn't see the increase but it's added now as I said yesterday to
17:59the chat ecstasy yes me yes and again more firearms more ammunition more drugs cocaine and marijuana indeed and you
18:09know persons still upset about the SOE persons still refuse to assist the police
18:16and we are seeing all these things and we are seeing all these things are causing this destruction of lives
18:23and livelihood in the society you know
18:27sometimes I wonder if you know persons just hell bent on doing their own thing you know so is it
18:32that they upset because of being inconvenienced but you see I will tell you this sir the inconvenience only come
18:40as a result of the behaviors of persons and so you have to blame
18:45that you see man I see them see the man the block
18:48that you afraid to give the police the information for the person hiding the gun under the house and you
18:54are not saying anything
18:56the good boy
18:57the good boy who you know
18:59does go out and do stuff at night and you are
19:01not saying anything
19:03the garage where the vehicles have been stripped when they are stolen
19:07yeah
19:08because these things occur in the neighborhood as well and people are aware so you have to blame
19:14all of those persons for the SOE no government wants to call an SOE just so an SOE sells the
19:23country in a different light it gives person the wrong interpretation of our nice sweet
19:29Trinidad and Tobago and we have to have love for our country when persons tourists when we when we
19:34under SOE and tourists who want to come to Trinidad and Tobago of course their embassy or their consulate
19:39would you know inform them listen this country seems to have some issues tourism because foreign
19:48exchange and you know we need the foreign exchange we do yeah most importantly right now let's take a
19:52look at what's making today's headlines

22:31and we
22:32continue with some of the crazy videos that we are seeing circulation people are being brave enough to
22:38record videos like this let's take a look at this video here now in this situation we are seeing
22:45this is a accident with a police vehicle and a civilian vehicle now i know persons may be watching and
22:53seeing what how you can see both of them they can see the vehicles you can see the oncoming vehicle
22:59coming to you or the police officers seeing the other vehicle making the ban but who is in the wrong
23:06here
23:06well a report would have been made and i'm sitting an investigation is going on yeah all accident
23:14take the same format a report is made whatever discrepancies statements are recorded because it's a
23:22government vehicle the scene will definitely be visited and measured markings and measurements will be
23:28made and we have footage is it out of one way i am not familiar with the area but it
23:37seems like it appears
23:38to be a tweet yeah you know but it always say thank god no lives were lost and apart and
23:46looking at
23:47things no serious injuries but there's an inconvenience not to the ttps though and i mean as much as the
23:54person to bear the civilians as well you know i mean and especially in a time of an essay where
23:59we need
23:59all our resources and all of our assets so i mean one vehicle dong you have no idea how one
24:05vehicle being
24:05you know down it could throw up everything it could show off a lot of things you know now um
24:11this was also caught
24:13on video and this one here is where we are seeing again the young people of trinidad and tobigo the
24:22school children and this young man seems to want to put on a show i guess he wants to be
24:29an actor
24:30i'm assuming esp and you know when you have your friends train your own you feel invincible
24:37again i i'm not sure no we used to do stupid things when we were young you can't pretend but
24:45this is reckless you don't see cars in hospital beds you know what is the most fruitful thing in that
24:54you know he doesn't even realize the risk he's putting himself at
25:03should a motorist come into contact with him you would find his relatives yes wanting the head of
25:10that motorist and i hope mommy daddy brother sister and uncle grandparents are home looking at what these
25:21children are they are doing especially when they are unsupervised and on their own like that yes i mean
25:31that is something i would have never done in my days growing up in uniform as well especially in in
25:38in uniform out of uniform there's worse in uniform because somebody was going to report it to the
25:43school yeah definitely and his friends see it as funny yeah so none can tell the other that is wrong
25:54what happened to be my brother's keeper what do you think of i look at it in a different way
25:59that there are some friends that allow you to behave and act in a stupid way
26:07so when you think can you cool and they laughing with you they're really laughing at you and saying
26:13look at you well they are not friends but as i'm saying they are not friends and i hope that
26:19we
26:20could find out who it is i hope that the parents are looking and probably could recognize yes
26:28their son nephew brother cousin i hope somebody recognizes him because i will tell you something
26:39these children supposed to be the leaders of tomorrow
26:43and we must feel comfortable that when we retire the country remains in good hands yeah
26:50but we need to train our children morals discipline values should be instilled by parents at home maybe we
26:59need to have a course in parenting maybe because even so that um even some of the adults who were
27:06in
27:06the vehicles they refused to come out long time somebody would have had made their way to that
27:10child and say your head shaken you need to go on to the pavement who is your parent try and
27:15call
27:15it but no but people not you know no no the gain your fighter yeah yeah so that's why people
27:20not even going no they're giving you a fight so i have nothing to say we have a caller on
27:24the line
27:24caller good evening hi good evening caller you know some people really don't want the issue still
27:35although you have some success out of it and i want to correct it up point it is not that
27:41they don't
27:42want it you know the law-abiding citizens are suffering at the hands of the industry just with his name
27:49i
27:50witnessed police get from himself and when things are apartments they match up the door when they realize
27:59okay we made a mistake people they went at in fact when they went up they said i cannot quote
28:07on that
28:07yes they're not innocent they're not in anything so the door was matched up the guns were pointed and
28:17faced me the family was traumatized and on top of that now they're looking for elements they need them
28:27exposed to the elements because this one was matched right now when you put yourself on the kitchen door for
28:35them and this is the part that is getting to some of the situations i experienced it also not this
28:43wrong between the last two weeks and i am a law enforcement officer i wouldn't say from where
28:50but i felt in my neighborhood for me it was an embarrassment i felt a scheme you mind they apologize
28:56after i felt a shame because when i look into a polling law it comes like you drag me down
29:02just as the
29:03criminal elements around me and it is not nice and my question is what happens to the elderly and what
29:11happens to those who have heart conditions my husband had a heart condition he'll have a heart
29:18condition i just leave his medication by the door hoping that when officers come to run to do the
29:24search we don't have no problem that they will realize hey there's a sick here because when he was here
29:32at the point he's going to say so he gets up and i'm going to say it took me weeks
29:36to get into
29:37sleep from the top of that and this is the problem some of the people we have students who suffer
29:44from that you are in no sense and you have to go through this thing and you have to feel
29:50degraded
29:52my door was mashed up we have to go and get lucky things was happening immediately out of the morning
29:56so we had to end up with a personal lock never fixed back properly nobody left several handles otherwise
30:04you know i never reported you can't normally do another job you know but it's how it is being done
30:10i know there's no way you all will know who's innocent and who's not innocent but suddenly you must have
30:16some kind of things when you enter home to make an assessment i didn't criminal justice that's my degree
30:24and you must be able to make an assessment not all times in the night but you have to go
30:30a little
30:30cautious because if they come to him again and he drops down and down from that trauma what will i
30:36have to
30:36do where does it leave me if you're going to make me come as um what is going to happen
30:45so this story
30:47after the damage has been done what are the three mentors of the people who go through this trauma it
30:52is not i am telling from on my end yes i know you're doing a job but it is not
30:57a nice trauma
30:58it is not a nice piece of trauma to go through at all at all because you don't feel comfortable
31:03in me
31:04yeah thank you so much ma'am anspy i i hear the caller let me say something i when i
31:11was back at
31:12police complaints division i would have done plenty investigations with respect to situations like
31:16that and there is a system by which once the report is made police break a door we do reimburse
31:24the
31:24persons to repair their doors one two sometimes we get information and it's not all the time you're
31:31to verify the information before you go at the home you know sometimes the information may come
31:37fire tips sometimes the information i have seen situations where neighbors against neighbors and
31:43neighbors make false things against the other neighbor what are we going to do because the day we
31:47don't respond is we call the police that they didn't respond and the man really had the gun there
31:52at the point in time or the man really had the defense there at the point in time so we
31:56are always
31:57between a rock and a hard place i i am happy that the gentlemen the officers they had a bit
32:03of empathy
32:03and they apologize because the first thing we can do in that situation is apologize but i know there
32:10instances many instances where when situations like that happen that the ttps undertook to repair
32:16their doors ma'am i understand you know persons will say the police are with big guns
32:22but if you are on let's say a task force and your tools of trade is a heavy arm which
32:27may be a guy
32:29you know let's say a mp5 and a side arm all you have a secret person's complaint about police are
32:34guns
32:35but guns are what tools of trade guns are the tools of trade of a police handcuffs tasers
32:46bulletproof vest body cams these are the tools that we utilize on a daily basis so um and police
32:56officers need to be in a state of readiness because let's say all right so all right in this instance
33:01they may not have gone to the appropriate place or the circumstances behind the door was different
33:06from what they were expecting yeah but many of the time officers would have gone through doors and when
33:11they open the door is a man with a shotgun looking at them is a man with a pistol pointing
33:17at them as
33:17well so you're always in a state of readiness because you don't know what's behind the door
33:21of course when you make your assessment the aggression on the threat level it reduces
33:26so you calm down and you come back down from a different state of alertness you drop it from
33:32you come down to a little bit of orange or you ain't going into white white is blank and all
33:36these
33:36things are military code you know the colors that are used to determine the state of readiness of
33:41the mind so you're out there operations you don't know what you're going to find you don't know what
33:45you're going to get um i hear you ma'am and i on behalf of the commissioner and the entire
33:51transatlantic police service do apologize for the situation that you would have faced and i always tell
33:55people here that we don't always get it right but i apologize to you and i'm happy that the
34:02gentlemen apologize to you and i'm certain that they will rectify that situation all right we take

40:20where you have to look at and the right tool to use is exigent circumstances where the state have the
40:25provisions we have the regulations we have 22 provisions with any regulations where the state uses right
40:32now and the right tool is the exigent circumstances so when we see so we we're giving people the
40:40the the fear factor and the the international committee there we are yeah we have uh that that so that
40:44issue in trinidad but what we have is i'm managing to exigent circumstances we could use because it's an
40:51emergency and then the emergency powers regulations are 2026. thanks very much thank you sir so we appreciate the
40:59information so and it's it's it's a good little idea and suggestion going forward i guess you're saying
41:05this how it's really been coached and we could do it and coach it differently so i but you're right
41:10um
41:12not yours in an soe so that is still even though i think people shouldn't equate a curfew
41:19as in norway soe yes we are able to operate almost you know in a free manner but it doesn't
41:29necessarily
41:29mean that we are able to operate the way we will before the soe came into existence now well let
41:37me
41:37correct you on something you still have rights however there are there are some instances where
41:44the police um the protective services we have additional rights as well additional powers as
41:50we want to say um like for instance to enter into our house once we have the information we no
41:56longer
41:56require a search warrant under the soe um there's a new part of it as well that speaks to giving
42:06curfews
42:07the person so you know you may know somebody as a known offender and you may have your particular
42:15information or intelligence and you could tell that person go home exactly or you can't go
42:21home i don't want you on this block yeah definitely and i mean regulation and i mean that is something
42:28that could only benefit us because most of the time shooting down the block we are actually saving their lives
42:38on the block the gathering is is is is there and persons decide a cash change vehicle let us rob
42:46let us snatch a chain let us snatch a phone so if we take that gathering off the corner
42:53that in itself creates for a safer neighborhood all right we are back to the phone lines caller good evening

43:08of you
43:08all i would like to ask uh the the asp a question in relation to the liquor license and what
43:18is the police
43:19the police role in in uh when they are investigating a renewal for a liquor license it seems like they
43:30are not
43:30consistent in in the different divisions what happens in the northeastern division in particular
43:38they are asking for a number of documents that does not relate to the police uh certificate fire inspection
43:49even customs documents they are asking for and why is it in the northeastern division
43:55those documents are required for renewal of liquor license and it is not required in other divisions
44:01which the northeast division different to the other divisions i am awaiting that that reply from you
44:08mr russell thank you very much all right thank you so much caller yes we will respond to the caller
44:15after
44:15the break we'll be back
44:31welcome to holiday inn express
44:33yes
44:52that's exactly what we need
44:55hi the pool is this week
44:58whatever you're here for we're here for you stay smart at the holiday inn express and sweets
45:13after 40 we need skin care that works as hard as we do new triple power serum with peptides
45:18hyaluronic acid and vitamin c visibly reduces wrinkles firms and evens tone
45:24new triple power serum by l'oreal paris we're worth it
45:56so
46:18we're here for you
46:20we're here we're here for you
46:23we're here for you
46:26And we are back, ASP, to respond to the caller.
46:29All right, so caller, I hear the question, and to be honest, I tried to pull up the local license
46:37act at 8410, you know, and I would advise persons to read the act.
46:42There are certain requirements for a new license, such as your health, your fire report, your police report, customs report,
46:49and then the final report comes from the court.
46:51Right.
46:51However, there are certain documents required under 8410 for renewal of a license.
46:59And there was only one 8410 local license act.
47:03So it is really as much as certain things are being asked for, the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service must
47:12and shall be guided by what is written in the act.
47:16So if the act 8410 tells you for renewal purposes you have to apply or ask for document 1, 2,
47:25and 3, we could only ask you for document 1, 2, and 3.
47:32Additional documents, I don't know if it will be justified as to why it is required.
47:36And it's one Trinidad and Tobago Police Service, one.
47:40So this is how we have an open-door policy.
47:43It should be a standard procedure for renewal of licenses throughout all station districts in Trinidad and Tobago.
47:52So I hear you on the fact that a particular division is asking for something that seems outside of the
47:59License Act.
48:00I can get further information on it, and I could probably pass it to the commissioner and have the commissioner
48:05look into it or the deputy commissioners as we speak.
48:08But I hear you, and I know that we believe in uniformity, and it's one TTPS.
48:15So one ticket can't be $1,000 up on that side and $200 down on this side.
48:19So I understand what you're saying, Paula.
48:21And your points are duly noted, and I would convey your sentiments so that we could have the situation rectified
48:27in its shortest possible time.
48:29All right.
48:29And remember, you all could give us a call at 623-1711, extension 1996 and 1997.
48:36And we just want to advise the public as well.
48:39It is very important that you pay attention, as ASP said, where you could come to the town meetings and
48:44the Southern Division Town Meeting, Royal Palm Hotel, Royal Road in San Fernando on March 12th at 6 p.m.
48:54Come and discuss some of the issues in your communities, things that you're concerned about.
48:58Even if you have ideas that could assist the TTPS as we continue the collaboration with the citizens of Trinidad
49:05and Tobago and those in the community and the TTPS.
49:07I call it tailor-made policing.
49:08This is your opportunity to tell the police service how to police your neighborhood.
49:12Yes.
49:12And about the things that you're experiencing so we would know how to deploy our resources so that they could
49:18better accommodate you, so that they could treat with these situations, so that they could bring these situations that make
49:26you uncomfortable to a rest.
49:28So I'm asking you that you go out there, and not only in the Southern Division, but in all the
49:35divisions.
49:35When you have the opportunity to attend a town meeting, I ask, I beg of you, I plead with you,
49:41please attend the town meeting and go with an open mind.
49:44Hear what we have to say.
49:45Bring your ideas, bring your suggestions, bring your concerns.
49:48Tell us how we have been doing.
49:49You're going to greet us.
49:51All right.
49:51We have another caller.
49:52Caller, good evening.
49:55Hello?
49:57Hello?
49:57Hi, good evening to you.
49:59Hi, good evening, caller.
50:00Yes, good afternoon.
50:02Mm-hmm.
50:03Uh-huh.
50:07I'm calling in connection with these traffic violation tickets.
50:13Yes.
50:14I know that 18 thing that was listed on the paper, right?
50:18Mm-hmm.
50:19One, I realize what is the, I call back to the loud music.
50:25Where these vehicles, they take out the backseat of the car or the van and they put it in the
50:34trunk.
50:34No, the problem is sometimes these people, sometimes 2 o'clock in the morning, 3 o'clock in the morning,
50:42they pass blasting music.
50:45Inconsiderate.
50:45You know, that is, I mean, that will affect the elderly.
50:49Mm-hmm.
50:49So I don't know, I don't know if that was listed as one of the violations.
50:55So I don't know if, if Mr. Rostock would give us a little more info on that.
51:01What area, sir?
51:02Or Mr. Ali, when you come tomorrow.
51:04What area?
51:05That's a serious problem with this lot of music in the morning, 2 o'clock in the morning.
51:10I listen up there.
51:12All right, well, I'm trying to get the aerial.
51:14Yeah, but, Mr. Osborne, I hear him and I understand what he's saying because there are certain areas that came
51:18out.
51:20Yeah, I think he was talking about the, with the perspective of the warning.
51:23I mean, but there are some drivers hell-bent on just letting the whole neighborhood listen to their music, whether
51:30it's 1 a.m., 2 a.m., 3 a.m.
51:32It doesn't matter.
51:32And I am saying, right, to those drivers and to the people, the girlfriends who know their boyfriends, come in
51:37to check them in the neighborhood with the loud music.
51:39And the parents who have their sons and their daughters who have the loud music, I'm asking you.
51:44And I'm asking them, if it were your mother sick at home, your child sleeping, your family that was sick,
51:51or elderly, and somebody else did it to you, how would you have liked it?
51:55Too many times persons are passing and now, Ms. Husbands, they are putting the speakers by the windows.
52:00Yeah.
52:01On the back seat.
52:02On the back seat.
52:03Yeah.
52:03And they are playing this thing for everyone to hear.
52:07Now, I would love when the licensing, and the only thing about it is, when they realize roadblocks, they take
52:13it out.
52:14Or the Louis-Dong.
52:15They are maxi-taxis who have started back putting music in their vehicles, which was still against the law.
52:23So, Trinidad and Tobago, sometimes we just want to be unruly and do our own thing.
52:28I don't know where we get it from.
52:30I don't know why we have become so lawless, but the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service, we will be out
52:36there, and we will utilize all our partners, whether it's transit, whether it's the licensing authority,
52:43whether it's the traffic wardens, and we will issue you fixed penalty tickets once we catch you.
52:51But I'm asking persons, don't want to see us, no, no.
52:54Let's not be inconsiderate, because sometimes it happens where I live as well.
52:57But not often, there's this one particular gentleman that has a green Honda vehicle.
53:03Yes.
53:03He's supposed to be letting the cattle on bad now.
53:06He has a green.
53:06There's a next young boy with a motorcycle, loud exhaust every minute up and down.
53:11He revs him.
53:13And you know what?
53:14His mother lives in the neighborhood, and the mother refused to speak to him.
53:17Oh, could she?
53:18The neighbors came to me, and I spoke to him.
53:21All right.
53:22We have another caller, final caller this evening.
53:25Caller, good evening.
53:27Hello?
53:28Hello, good evening.
53:29Good evening to you, sir.
53:31Good evening.
53:33Officer, you said just now that under an S3, a police, there's no need for the police to more or
53:40less secure a switch warrant to conduct their duties.
53:43Then is it safe to say then that under an S3 investigation should move a little faster,
53:50seeing that there's no need for the warrant, and for whatever better description,
53:55matters that were more or less lingering would they now be done in a faster fashion?
54:02So more or less the S3 would be helping the police do they will, in the context of investigations,
54:08and moving quicker and closing matters.
54:10Of course, sir.
54:11Which is no pay.
54:12Thank you, caller.
54:13Caller, that's a very good comment you made there, but it depends on the investigation.
54:18Like, for instance, billing evidence with respect to gang activities, it takes some time.
54:26However, if you have information that XYZ have a gun in their house on the corner of Nowhere and Apple
54:35Avenue,
54:37we can go straight to that house without having to go to get a J.P.
54:41or to get a master.
54:42They call somebody to approve a warrant and stuff like that.
54:44So it benefits us in that way, where we can respond immediately to information that we get from the public.
54:51Hence the reason we ask you, if you see where they're hiding it, if you see where they're putting it
54:55down,
54:56if you know where the block is, if you know where the stash is, if you know where the wrongs
54:59is,
54:59tell us if you know where the stolen vehicle is, if you know where the stolen car parts are,
55:03because under the S3 we could just come and catch the persons in the act.
55:06But there are some things that still requires investigation and still requires cooperation and stuff like that.
55:13Well, J.P., we'd like to thank you so much, as usual, for being here with us each and every
55:17Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
55:19And tomorrow we get ready for Legally Speaking.
55:21Legally Speaking.
55:22Thank you, Mr. Ali, our tenure at Law, who will be here.
55:24And, of course, he will be touching a little bit more on something really special that will be taking place
55:28on Thursday.
55:29Now, a symposium titled The Multisectual Approach to the Early Identification Prevention
55:37and Treatment of Emotional and Behavioral Issues Among Vulnerable Youth in Trinidad and Tobago.
55:43And I'm telling you, he is definitely hands-on, and we could also benefit from this.
55:48As you said, we wanted to know if there was a guide or a blueprint for the parents,
55:53and when it comes to at least assisting, raising our young people,
55:56because they are our future of Trinidad and Tobago.
55:59Of course.
55:59And all we could do is continue to work extremely hard.
56:02J.P., anything you'd like to say before we exit?
56:05I'm asking Trinidad and Tobago to be considerate, put yourself in any other person's position,
56:09and ask yourself, if it were me or my family or my relative, would I have liked it?
56:14But I want to encourage you to share the information, speak with the police,
56:18and love and care for each other out there.
56:20Yes, and most importantly, as I continue to stress to our young people
56:24who feel that they need to get involved in crime, you are worth so much more.
56:29God has blessed you with a talent, each one of you,
56:32and all you have to do is tap into it and make it happen,
56:34and we will continue pushing you to make sure that you are more than just a person
56:39who is holding up people with a gun and, of course, having R.I.P. attached to your name on
56:45a T-shoot.
56:46All right?
56:46Until tomorrow, same time, same place, we get ready for news coming up at 7 o'clock.
56:50TNT, be safe, and God bless.
56:52We're out.
57:23TNT, be safe, and God bless.
57:23TNT, be safe, and God bless.
