00:00Children.
00:37Beyond the Tape, we'll be back after these messages.
00:41At Cruise-In, Hotel and Yachting Center, we're all about time.
00:46In fact, once you check in, there's no time to lose.
00:49Reconnect with a little family time.
00:52Make a splash with some pool time.
00:55Spend some treasured quality time.
00:57Or just immerse yourself in some quiet time.
01:01Indulge your senses at dinner time.
01:03We even have the perfect venue when it's your celebration time.
01:08So it's high time you visit Cruise-In.
01:11Choose our day pass or call 607-4000 to make your dinner or hotel reservations
01:17or to find out more about our event spaces.
01:21Take a time out at Cruise-In Hotel and Yachting Center.
01:29I'm Marc S ku Bashir.
01:34Here we go.
01:37Thanks so much.
01:39Let's take a try.
01:40Here you go.
07:04Those little bandits are.
07:06And here the ages, 22.
07:08Yes.
07:0923.
07:10Early 20s.
07:11People saying that they still don't want to partner with the police.
07:15Imagine, this is that 76-year-old visually impaired pensioner.
07:19Yes.
07:20Working hard.
07:21I wish they get life.
07:24I wish they get life.
07:27Miss Husband, this is a pensioner.
07:29They're blind.
07:30Yes.
07:31So it means that the communities have to start to do a little more.
07:35But I am in my neighbor business.
07:37We have to look out for the children and the elderly.
07:41We have to look out for them.
07:44We are realizing here with this matter, these persons move, right?
07:48Yes.
07:49So from where they reside to where they committed the crime.
07:54So they're just moving.
07:56They're migrating throughout the country.
07:58And, you know, crime migration or crime displacement is something that we also have to take into consideration.
08:06I will continue to refer to not just the scientific aspect of crime fighting and crime analysis,
08:13but even with the interview that was done on TV6 with the professor recently,
08:20even when you look at the zones of special operations in Jamaica,
08:24they had to put mechanisms in place to really reduce the crime migration because persons would want to get out
08:31as well.
08:31And it would mean that these guys know, as the term and term said, we're hot, down where they're living.
08:39But somebody in the neighborhood is accommodating these guys.
08:43And I always say the same thing for Tobago.
08:45When you have Trinidadians who are in Tobago and you find them committing crime,
08:51somebody is in the village telling them, who knows the area,
08:54pass here, go so, X live in there, Y live in there.
08:58So we need to know who is around us and not take anything for granted.
09:03If something arouses your suspicion, please act on it and call the police
09:09because that could be the crucial call that could prevent something from happening.
09:16But I am happy and I want to commend the Trinidadian Tobago Police Service.
09:20I want to commend even the victim for being able to still give the police some information.
09:25They said she was not afraid to even go.
09:28And that is exceptional.
09:29And I want to thank God for protecting her and keeping her
09:32and giving us the health and strength and the wisdom and the tact to apprehend these suspects.
09:38And I mean, day and day, you are seeing, and I'm wondering, right,
09:45what would it take to really prevent?
09:47Because some have lost their lives.
09:49Yes.
09:51Many have been arrested.
09:53But for some reason, we keep seeing it happening over and over and over and over again.
09:57Is it because that is what they know and they think that is all they could amount to in life?
10:03As in, that's what they know.
10:05We know the norm.
10:07It's not that.
10:08I would not stand here and want to say that is all they know, you know,
10:12because they choose that.
10:14Because I'm sure they have looked on social media and they would have seen persons going to work,
10:18persons saying how to invest.
10:19They are living in a neighborhood where people get up and go to work every day, you know.
10:23And if you're linemen on the block, you know who goes to work and who comes back home.
10:27So they choose to do that.
10:30Because no one, no entire neighborhood is filled with bad people.
10:33Of course, no.
10:33Of course not.
10:34So they are law-abiding citizens in even the worst neighborhoods.
10:37And they get up and they abide by the law and they go to work and they pay their taxes.
10:43And some of them go to church, they pay their tithes.
10:46So we have to understand some of these guys make a choice.
10:50I don't want to hear there's no opportunity.
10:51There is opportunity.
10:53But a lot of them people sit on the corner because nobody wants to work for anything.
10:57Do you believe literacy contributes to the ignorance of persons' actions?
11:05Well, it's not been said that we live in an informational world.
11:08A world full by the information is right there.
11:10This tool, this device.
11:11Yes.
11:11You could Google anything.
11:12Sometimes people always ask me things and I'm not certain.
11:14And I'm right here between the break.
11:16I get the answer right on this device.
11:17So we are choosing what we want to use the device for.
11:20We could use it for good and we could use it for bad.
11:22And if you talk about literacy and it goes back again to not just the educational system because regardless of
11:30what you do in the SCA, there's a place for you.
11:34And I think that system places the youth who is suffering from some.
11:39It could be AD, the attention deficit disorder, some other issue, autism.
11:45And it puts that person at a disadvantage because you now graduate them into another school of higher learning and
11:51they haven't really satisfied the basic components to really move on.
11:56So you're sending somebody in a position where they're already disadvantaged.
12:00So now they may want to disrupt the class.
12:05Not because they want to, but that's all that they really could do because they are not apprehending, they're not
12:11understanding, they cannot apply themselves.
12:13And maybe a different type of teaching should be dedicated to them to bring them along at a slower pace
12:19so that they, too, can sit the same exam at the end of the five-year period and still come
12:23up with some O-level passes that could be a foundation so that they can have a better education so
12:27that they can be employed and contribute.
12:30So there's a lot of things.
12:31And the parents.
12:31Yeah, but you know, ASP, we are seeing all of this and I get it.
12:36Everything that you're seeing here makes sense.
12:39And because I'm sure you have been exposed to different environments because of your job and you have a little
12:46more experience than I do.
12:47But when you're in an environment and all that you see is what they are now imitating because of they're
12:57seeing it as this is normal for me to do this.
13:01This is normal for me to act this way because I saw my father do it.
13:05I may have seen my grandmother do it and it is okay because if you are comfortable, hear me out
13:11quickly, if you are comfortable to bring home items that you stole to your mother or your father or your
13:18grandmother and they don't say anything.
13:21What does that say?
13:23Does it not mean it is okay?
13:25For us it's not okay, no.
13:27Understand what I'm saying?
13:28We are living in different worlds in one country that is Trinidad and Tobago.
13:33And there are sides of Trinidad and Tobago that we will never understand and comprehend because we're like, no, this
13:40is wrong.
13:40It doesn't make sense.
13:41It doesn't make sense, right?
13:42And that is where I believe, personally, that that is where you all need to tap into some of these
13:48communities because we are seeing where every single day, this is what I'm exposed to.
13:54And it's not just doom and gloom.
13:55I'm talking about witnessing people stealing and looking a certain way and they're dressing a certain way, they're getting these
14:01items.
14:02So this is what I'm seeing every day.
14:03So this is normal and they're alive and operating.
14:06And I am smiling because my husband, to me, in school I was miserable.
14:13And I remember my mother used to teach me the board to my bedroom.
14:19That was the blackboard, no?
14:20The door.
14:21And I remember she teaching me ratio over and over and over until I get it.
14:26Till to this day, even looking at triangles and sine, cosine, tangent, I still remember a squared equals to b
14:34squared plus c squared minus 2bc cosine a because my mother showed that interest.
14:40And that is what I'm saying.
14:41So we're going back to the parents.
14:42The parents have to help.
14:43The parents, oh, they have to help us.
14:45And as I'm saying, what you're saying is not wrong, you know, but if you have parents who are not
14:49even showing you and putting a blackboard behind your door
14:52to show you what is b squared equals c squared, what do you think, HB, no, like, honestly, what do
15:01you think you are, you understand that, yes, you are miserable.
15:06It's different from being miserable and you are creating a criminal because that is all they see.
15:11That is all they know.
15:12Well, that is where it started because if my mother didn't hold on to me, who knows where I would
15:17have been, and I would always say the police service matured me because I joined the work at 1819, met
15:23me training.
15:24And when I went in there, I went in for a job because my mom used to say five-o
15:28-level is a government job.
15:30After that, you do what you want.
15:32You buy your own house, you do what you want, you can't if you're forever.
15:35And, you know, the job matured me where I started to seek tertiary education.
15:38Now I'm investing in different things and, you know, I'm spreading, I rebuke that.
15:44I'm spreading my portfolio, as they say.
15:46But, Ms. Husbands, you know, it just shows how crucial and critical the parents' responsibility is in the home and
15:53it's a responsibility that we should not take.
15:56I think, really and truly, if you know you're not ready to be a parent, let's just not have any
16:02children, I believe, as people.
16:05Because, I mean, we cannot have this recurring going on over, over, over.
16:13It's the same schools, it's the same this, it's the same that, it's the same communities.
16:16I mean, come on.
16:19Ignorance.
16:22Literacy.
16:22We have to do better.
16:23We.
16:25Everybody.
16:25Yeah.
16:25Have to do better.
16:26So, if you don't educate in the right way for persons to understand, a revolving door is going to happen.
16:31Right now, let's take a look at what's making our SOE update as of today, June 11th, 2026.
16:39June 12th.
16:40My apologies.
16:402026.
16:41Things nice, Ms. Husbands.
16:42Number of operations, 7,372.
16:47Number of target priority offenders, 2,122.
16:52Searches conducted, 3,193.
16:55Traffic operations, 4,400.
16:59Total persons arrested, 3,279.
17:02Total persons charged, 720.
17:06Firearms recovered.
17:07We're seeing that we didn't get any increases, a total of 186.
17:12Same for the ammunition recovered.
17:14It remains at 3,531, but an increase with the dangerous drug sees, and we're seeing the increase with the
17:21cannabis and cocaine.
17:22Yes, we.
17:23Well, cocaine and marijuana, a lot of the, those are more or less the common drugs of choice.
17:31Yes, I'm happy not to see the ecstasy and the moldy and stuff like that, purple heroin and the methamphetamine,
17:40because those really scare me, because I know the age group that gravitate towards them.
17:45Very young.
17:46You know, and I want to continue to tell parents, you know, talk to the young ones.
17:51I know some of them want to attend their events shortly, the July, August vacation would be here, is more
17:57or less upon us.
17:58And, you know, not because you're giving them some free time, you must just let them go at will to
18:05do whatever they decide.
18:07You still need to manage and maintain some sort of control over them and where they go, where they line.
18:15You still need to pay now, because you don't have your 15 and 13-year-old and 14-year-old
18:20walking in the house at 1 o'clock in the morning, like if they're paying a bill.
18:24You're calling them, they're not answering, you don't know where they are.
18:2713, is it?
18:28Yes, 13, Miss Husbands.
18:31But what the deal is this?
18:32Do not have them walking in the house at 2, 3 o'clock in the morning.
18:37They're paying rent?
18:38Miss Husbands, I remember a time I went to a school bazaar, and the boss lady said, 9 o'clock.
18:46Two minutes after 9, she was putting the lock on the gate, eh?
18:50Yeah, yeah, I sleep outside.
18:51Oh my goodness.
18:52It never happened again, though.
18:54Well, you'll learn your lesson.
18:56Of course.
18:56Right, well, let's take a look at what's making today's headlines.
19:22And those are your stories making today's headlines.
19:24We take that break.
19:25We'll be back.
19:51We'll be back.
19:559% pure extract.
19:57You get superior absorption and real results.
20:00Available now at Pennywise and leading pharmacies nationwide.
20:03Berberine Plus.
20:04Your heart deserves better.
20:07Question.
20:08How much does a funeral go for these days?
20:11I guarantee the figure you're thinking is way smaller than the actual cost.
20:15Because even though life is priceless, death is real expensive.
20:20But CUNA Caribbean's family indemnity plan can help for things like sudden funeral costs, plus the other bills left behind
20:28that could threaten your finances.
20:30And imagine, for a monthly payment of less than $70, you could cover up to nine family members.
20:36And you don't have to take a medical exam to sign up.
20:40So don't stick.
20:41Get the family indemnity plan.
20:43Why?
20:44Because it's a good thing.
20:46Trust me.
20:52For the investigations that matter most to TNT, turn to the team you trust.
20:57The TV6 News.
20:58We do the work to uncover the facts, ask the important questions, and report on the issues that impact your
21:04community and the nation at large.
21:06This is more than just news, it's accountability, the undisputed number one program in Trinidad and Tobago, delivering the hard
21:13-hitting investigations you rely on.
21:15The TV6 News, revealing facts, provoking opinions.
21:23Early prostate cancer has absolutely no signs or symptoms.
21:29And that's why we strongly push the men once a year, get out there and get screened with a digital
21:35rectal examination and a PSA, prostate-specific antigen, a blood test.
21:41Any PSA above four is abnormal.
21:44All men, once they hit 40 years of age, go and have that PSA test done.
21:51Be viewing Caribbean Medical TV on this station.
22:06Welcome, Mark and Mama.
22:07You can give us a call at 623-1711, extension 1996 and 1997.
22:12Now, if you're now joining us, we have ASP Russell here with us.
22:16ASP, now, this was caught on dash cam and this took place on the corner of Piccadilly and Duke Street.
22:22And this is why we always ask persons to be vigilant and lock your doors.
22:26You just never know any time, anywhere.
22:29This is what happened.
22:31So, we're seeing here, ASP, this is a popular spot where, you know, persons will traverse to get onto the
22:38highway.
22:39And the reason why this person has stopped is because of this miserable individual.
22:46And it seems like he has someone also with him decided, you know what, I need to take back my
22:53car.
22:55And this is what happened.
23:03And you see how quickly they move.
23:06Broad daylight.
23:09And we're seeing how easy, yes, ASP, in this case, what should people do when you're at a traffic light?
23:16And in such a place where most persons are very, um...
23:21Firstly, I want to put a challenge.
23:24Okay.
23:24Trinidad and Tobago because there's always a conversion of persons liming at that bar on the corner there.
23:30Yes, by the lights.
23:31I'm hoping by now the identities of the gentlemen reach the police by now.
23:36Because they were comfortable to run in the direction of...
23:39That bar on the left side there...
23:42Has people...
23:43All hours, whether night or day, always have somebody liming there.
23:47Yes.
23:49What could we do, though?
23:50Especially in those areas, well, I always have my windows up and my doors locked.
23:56Right.
23:58Um, I want, especially for female and elderly drivers, because you are seeing that where,
24:05because the elderly and females tend to put up the least resistance.
24:11Yeah.
24:11They are the targets that they are looking at.
24:14Because at the end of the day, when they snatch your chain or take your phone, they want to ensure
24:19that when they sell it, they could enjoy the monies.
24:21Um, so please, keep your windows up.
24:24Keep your doors locked.
24:26Um, it was my vehicle.
24:29He ran in front of, um, I better be making an accident report.
24:32Yeah, well, I think she was moving fast enough.
24:34Having, having had a collusion with a male gentleman, um, what I want to say again, too, even the headline
24:43before, where you see bandits rob, elderly couple at food shops.
24:47Same thing I opened with.
24:48Um, the elderly is under attack, children and Tobago, and we have to come together to be our brothers and
24:55sisters, keep her.
24:56The children and the elderly.
24:58The elderly are under attack.
24:59The children.
25:01Yeah.
25:02The children are under attack.
25:05It's stupid.
25:06By some persons who are children themselves.
25:12When you look at the age of the robbers, yeah, some of them are not even 19 yet.
25:23A teenager had a PDO executed on her.
25:29A female teenager had a PDO executed on her at a funeral.
25:36All right, we have a call on the line.
25:38Caller, good evening.
25:40Good afternoon.
25:41Hi, good evening.
25:42Good evening, caller.
25:44It's Albert.
25:45You are looking lovely.
25:46Keep looking lovely.
25:48Thank you very much.
25:49And, officer.
25:50Good day, ma'am.
25:52Nice to see you again.
25:53I know you are going to be tired and want to be because it's 24 hours.
25:57Is that enough?
25:58I don't even know what to call you on the table.
26:00We just have to keep it safe.
26:03Because it's safe, I get it, and it's a feeling so heavy.
26:08It's heavy.
26:10And everything that's going on, you know, what to say, what to think, it's not happening.
26:15So, you know what, I just want to say, I was like, we can't be safe.
26:19And we keep looking forward.
26:21Keep positive.
26:22We have to keep positive.
26:23Yes.
26:24You know?
26:24Tears are going to break up me every day.
26:27You listen and they see.
26:29What is it doing here?
26:30Tears are going to be here.
26:31Tears are going to be here.
26:32So, that means I love you guys.
26:33And if you say okay.
26:35Thank you so much, ma'am.
26:36I greatly appreciate it.
26:37Yes.
26:37Ma'am, I appreciate the good words.
26:39You know?
26:39I appreciate the encouragement, ma'am.
26:42It really, really goes a long way, caller.
26:44But sometimes we stand here and we wonder what, again, to do.
26:52You have snatching by the corner of Park and Henry because of the amount of banks in that area.
26:58You look at your spatial and your temporal analysis, your redistributive resources, they're going somewhere else.
27:05Yes, yeah.
27:05We're good on somewhere.
27:06It's like we always have.
27:08Gat and mouse.
27:09Because it's the same way you all are trying to observe the criminal, elementary criminal elements.
27:13The criminal is observing us.
27:14You know how many times shootings happen, robberies happen, and you know what the person say?
27:20And you know the police just passed here, you know?
27:23Yes, yes.
27:24I've heard that so many times.
27:25It's not that we aren't doing patrols.
27:27It's not that we aren't challenging people, you know, my husband.
27:31Yes.
27:32It's not that we aren't doing that, you know?
27:34When the police, we could come out and go right, them go left.
27:37We go left, them go right.
27:38We go up, them go down.
27:42We go, we will not give up on you.
27:44And this is where the relationship and the connection between we, the TTPS, and the public comes.
27:52That's where it becomes important and a crucial component in this crime fight.
27:59I know we wouldn't always get right.
28:00I know.
28:01And it has some of us.
28:02You can't trust.
28:03I understand that too.
28:05Keeping it real.
28:05I understand that.
28:07But that is where we create the anonymous hotline, the anonymous things.
28:11And you know what?
28:12Every one of you all day have a police friend that you trust to call.
28:15Very true.
28:16Everybody.
28:17Because when people want to find me for help, whether they have my number or not, they know how to
28:22find me.
28:23Yeah.
28:23Now, in this case, this incident took place on Thursday 11th, a shooting at Warden Road, South Oropoach.
28:30And we don't have full information on what's taking place.
28:33But anyone with information that could assist the TTPS thus far from what was circulating on social media, of course,
28:41they could call 999-800-TIPS to assist.
28:46Yes, Pete?
28:47Of course, we would want the assistance of the public in getting some information with respect to this.
28:52I know the respective homicide region is doing their investigations and at this time, you know, canvassing the area to
29:00see who may have had cameras, home security cameras that may have captured something that could lead us in a
29:07direction where we could bring persons before the court to answer for this shooting.
29:12You know, I'm not certain if the person survived or if they lost their life, you know?
29:17Yes.
29:17No.
29:18That we know of, we know.
29:19Okay.
29:19So we will just hope for the best that he is...
29:22And pray that he is still alive.
29:22Yes, he is still alive.
29:24Yes, yes.
29:24At this time, we need to take that break.

30:12Good day, Trader in Tobago.
30:13A safer nation begins with you standing up, speaking out, and doing your part.
30:19As your commissioner of police, I am prepared to do my part.
30:23Are you prepared to do your part?
30:25Get on board.
30:27Are you on board?
30:28I am Bishop Ezekiel Clark, president of the Coover Police Station Community Council.
30:33And I am proud to say that I am on board with the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service in their
30:40fight against crime in Trinidad and Tobago.
30:43I am Panis Dean Galston.
30:44And I am Panis Johan Chukri.
30:46And crime prevention is everybody's business.
30:52Hi, I am Sajina Kudir, attorney at law and team lead for the attorneys for the TTPS Community Justice Clinic.
30:59We support the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service in the fight against crime.
31:03Crime prevention is everybody's business.
31:05I am Shiraz Khan.
31:07I am a farmer.
31:08I support the TTPS in the fight against crime.
31:11My name is Baldev Maraj, president of the Shepard and Chamber of Industrial and Commerce.
31:16Crime fighting is everybody's business.
31:19We are all in one.
31:36Welcome back.
31:37Now, ASPD town meetings continue throughout Trinidad and Tobago.
31:40And the TTPS is making sure they step in as many communities and districts as possible.
31:45Now, the Southern Division town meeting, Tableland District, Tableland Secondary School at George Village Tableland.
31:52It's on Thursday, the 18th of June.
31:54Of course, it starts at 6 p.m.
31:55Come out and meet with the officers in your district, those of you in the environs as well.
32:00Take this opportunity to meet the officers.
32:03Have a relationship.
32:04See their faces.
32:06Let them know your concerns.
32:07ASPD, you know this is very important.
32:08Yes, as I always say, it's more or less what we call having your policing needs tailored to suit the
32:18needs of your neighborhood.
32:19Because different neighborhoods will have different needs from the police.
32:23Some may just want us to come and take part in a football competition.
32:26It's something that we do in the Western Division as well.
32:29Some may want us to increase patrols.
32:32Some may want a little more interaction.
32:34Some may, you know, persons ask for different things.
32:35Some may want us to contact TNTech to get the park lit up.
32:41Some may want us to call the regional corporation to get the field cut.
32:44And I had a situation like that recently with something that is occurring in La Hocata.
32:49And the person reached out to me.
32:51And I was able to put things in place and have the senior call and, you know, make arrangements so
32:59that we could have the area.
33:00And the simple things like that, the person's playing football in the road.
33:02Then they kicked the ball in the person's yard.
33:05And these things contribute to so much a little neighborhood back and forth.
33:08Oh gosh.
33:09Simple, simple.
33:10Yes.
33:10Yeah.
33:11A mango tree.
33:12Yeah.
33:13The mango tree.
33:14And, you know, again, parenting.
33:17They're playing football.
33:18The ball goes over the neighbor's yard.
33:20These young children, they're not even calling.
33:22They're just jumping in the yard.
33:23Now, let's say if you have a dog and your dog is loose in your yard and bites one of
33:28the neighbor's children, it's fight.
33:30It's back in a simple thing like that.
33:32This contributes to so much a community conflict.
33:35But, you know, we hope that the field is cut and manicured soon so that they can now take the
33:42play back to the field.
33:43Now, we're seeing again more home invasions happening and we're targeting the elderly.
33:51And it continues to be disturbing.
33:53In this case, this took place in the Clarkson Bay area.
33:56Now, young men continue to invade and distress homeowners.
34:00And the Clarkson Bay family shared their experience.
34:02And the victim, the victim, in this case, was a 72-year-old and also her daughter.
34:09They were walking by the intruders at 2.30 a.m. earlier this week.
34:14And y'all, take a look at this.
34:17I think that's the woman, the lady said she kept praying and calling on Jesus.
34:20I, I, young men, eh?
34:23Young men.
34:26And I just sleep in this room, what's she doing here?
34:29Here.
34:30Right?
34:31I just sleep on that day.
34:33I know she come and sleep in here with me.
34:35Right?
34:37Yeah.
34:38The hardware, cell phone, everything, they're going with everything.
34:45Look here.
34:46This is where they break the door.
34:52You see?
34:57The media came just now.
35:01And they watch the room, how they state it in.
35:05What's it, just move this thing and see?
35:15My cell phones, the cell phone, money.
35:19I had my pension, I just got my pension.
35:22So, $2,700 was in this room, they're going with that.
35:27And I had it, $1,700 and the other purse, they're going with that.
35:32Boy, they're going, wait, wait, wait, wait, they move the TV, but they're going with it.
35:36I know they're going to put up the TV for me.
35:40Let me see.
35:41And the night, Amy coming to me morning at 2 o'clock to 4, they torment me, my daughter.
35:49When they see alone, and I was in, she's sleeping in the front room, and I sleeping in this room.
35:55After they torment me, and they trapped me, they take, she, they make, she come across and lie down on
36:03the bed, and the tie strapped me.
36:05Right, with a thing, a thing, a black oak thing, and a thing, just so much I need to know
36:12what I'm going to do.
36:14I, the way I want to remember, two hours, and they take out the louvers, and they, you see where
36:20the board is, all the louvers going from the 6 or 7 louvers, over 8, and so.
36:26They take all that, and they come in through the way.
36:30Boy, when I only feel on the bed, those are all wounds, because I couldn't even know.
36:36You understand?
36:38This thing going on too nasty.
36:40I'm not should do something more serious with them bad.
36:43When they get them, put them in jail, and beat them properly.
36:49Beat them bad.
36:51Real bad.
36:53ASP, this is disturbing to me, because I have a special place in my heart for the elderly, and $2
37:02,100, $1,100, Iran sacked the lady's entire place, with her hard-backed self.
37:10This is disturbing.
37:11And I want to believe that there's a connection based on the collection of their pensions, and the timing of
37:19these home invasions.
37:20I think they'll wait until persons collect their pensions, and then go into their homes.
37:26And I mean, the VSU unit, victim support unit, they are always ready to provide that necessary counseling,
37:34because I think persons should engage or be on the receiving end of some sort of counseling,
37:39after they would have experienced such traumatizing events.
37:42I mean, because your home is your castle.
37:46And I am saying, I don't know if I have to deal with a situation like that home by me.
37:55I think some people's parents might be very, very upset with me.
37:58Yes, I am confused to these individuals, that you will watch a woman like that.
38:09And tie-trap them.
38:10Yeah.
38:11They can't defend themselves.
38:12They are not doing your thing.
38:13You're not watching this woman and saying, this could be my grandmother, this could be my mother.
38:17You know what?
38:18They're feeling wrong.
38:18They're feeling wrong.
38:19So nothing in you, it's cement.
38:22You know, they don't want anybody to do their mothers, sisters, their children that.
38:28Well, that's why they're doing it outside of the communities.
38:31I am really pissed off.
38:32And they're coming back into the communities, and they're talking about what they do,
38:35and persons in the community hearing these stories.
38:39Are you giving information to the police to say, hey, XYZ commander, we're boasting about the home invasion that they
38:44did recently?
38:45And then everybody's saying, no, we want things to stop.
38:48We want things to change.
38:50But they're condoning it by their own inaction.
38:54But the police, we will do everything.
38:58We'll do as much as we could do.
39:01But we will never win the fight alone.
39:05We have a call on the line.
39:06Caller, good evening.
39:12Good evening.
39:13It was number 25 years ago.
39:21I don't know.
39:22I don't know.
39:23I don't know.
39:23I don't know.
39:24I don't know.
39:24But I just want to tell you that.
39:28My daughter had a real problem with her, about seven years after three things happened.
39:37My daughter took another car and I had to snatch her daughter.
39:46And another robbery just killed by his cousin's husband.
39:50They messed up with her daughter and he died right out of her house.
39:56But I just say that I have to carry the phone.
40:00Because I have a lot of culture and all that.
40:03And she has never been activated throughout the year.
40:06So I just say that the police say that it's terrible, you know.
40:13So it affects a lot of people.
40:16Anymore, thank you for your work.
40:18Thank you so much.
40:20For therapy.
40:22Yes, yes.
40:23Living example.
40:24She had to take her daughter for therapy.
40:28Living example.
40:29I don't know.
40:30I don't know if these, I don't know if they understand, you know, the effects of what they are doing.
40:38I would really want to open one of their brains and just see how it functions, you know.
40:43I want to know what they are thinking.
40:45What's going through your mind?
40:49We could take a break.
40:51Well, you in charge of that.
40:52We take a break.
40:53We'll be back.
40:53Go.
40:55Go.

42:14This concludes our weekly press briefing.
42:18As the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service continues to protect and serve with pride,
42:23We are calling on all citizens of Trinidad and Tobago to get on board with us to ensure that everyone
42:31is able to live in a crime-free society.
42:36Are you on board?
42:40This is my country, and I am on board.
42:43I am on board with the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service.
42:47Let us save the youth of the nation.
42:49Get on board.
42:50Crime affects all of us.
42:52Children, communities, and the country as a whole.
42:56Supporting crime victims and working in the police service, I am on board.
43:01This is my country, and I am on board.
43:05My name is Nikolai Blackmon, and I am on board with the TTPS.
43:09Vision on Mission is proud to partner with the TTPS, because crime prevention is everybody's business.
43:17We are the National Congress of Incorporated Spiritual Baptist Organizations of Trinidad and Tobago,
43:23and we are on board with the TTPS in its fight against crime.
43:27I am a farmer, this is my country, and I am on board.
43:31I am Charles Jason Gordon, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Port of Spain.
43:36I am on board in the TTPS fight against crime.
43:40We are all on board.
43:57And welcome back now, ASP, as the mission is that we are not giving up on any young person,
44:02regardless of what we see, what we have witnessed with most of them on social media.
44:08We are seeing where the Ministry of Homeland Security, along with the TTPS,
44:13stepping in where there's a prevention crime plan, or I should say a crime prevention project,
44:18that is taking place with Mr. Ali and the Ministry of Homeland Security.
44:24And they had a huge surprise at Aranguas North Secondary, so let's take a look.
44:29Classrooms were transformed into spaces for open conversation as students at Aranguas North Secondary School
44:35engaged with professionals from law enforcement, mental health, and community development
44:41as part of the Ministry of Homeland Security's Special Psychosocial Intervention and Educational Engagement Initiative.
44:48The program is designed to equip young people with life skills, build resilience,
44:54and expose them to positive role models before they face the risks associated with crime.
44:59It's society being represented by the criminologists, the psychologists, prison service, TTPS,
45:04and other state and non-state actors coming to be able to engage our nation's children,
45:09to be able to assist them to be more resilient, to make better choices,
45:13and also to ensure that they appreciate and understand how important this opportunity for education is.
45:18We recognize we cannot charge, we cannot prosecute our way out of this,
45:22and it's important for us to look at preventative measures.
45:24The program aims to strengthen resilience, improve decision-making,
45:27and remind the students that education and opportunity can provide alternatives to crime.
45:33Former West Indies All-Rounder Dwayne Bravo used his own story to inspire students,
45:38reminding them that success begins with the right mindset and clear goals.
45:44It's very important, and especially when I have these different professionals come in
45:48to give their story and share and speak and stuff.
45:51If you get captured, and you know, you had like maybe close to 50, 60 kids here this morning,
45:59if you get five of them, that when they leave this room, they change their mind how they think of
46:04life,
46:05give them a little structure of how to set goals and set targets and try to achieve them.
46:12So every speaker had a different message, and I'm sure each and one of them will take away a particular
46:20message,
46:20and again, that would not have happened if the program wasn't on.
46:24Bravo also encouraged the students not to measure their future solely by examination results.
46:30The kids now have faced so much pressure that the way you can be successful is if you educate it,
46:36and I think that's not the case.
46:39Education is important.
46:41If you can do the balance, if you can strike the balance, then it's perfect,
46:45but if you can't, it's not the end of the world.
46:47And I think there's too much pressure from parents, from society,
46:52that even if you don't have your subjects, if you're not dedicated,
46:56there's no way in this world for you.
46:58The ministry says initiatives like this will continue as part of its wider strategy
47:03to address the social factors that contribute to crime while empowering young people
47:07to make positive life choices.
47:09Charlotte Kistel, TV6 News.
47:13The Youth Crime Prevention Symposium, a project that is owned and, of course,
47:18spearheaded by the Ministry of Homeland Security.
47:20And, you know, I want to say thank you to Mr. Ali.
47:23I see quite a few faces there that I'm familiar with.
47:26Yes.
47:26Mr. Bravo, Wayne Stanley, and others.
47:30You know, I see all Mr. Shabini.
47:31Of course.
47:32As well, you know, he has been in the forefront of, you know, trying to help children change their paths,
47:40the more positive ones.
47:42And, you know, projects like these could only help.
47:46You know, we have the, from the TDPS side again, we have the anti-bullying campaign.
47:50We have the hearts and minds.
47:53The police band.
47:54Yes.
47:55Has a project, Ms. Husbands.
47:57Wow.
47:58And, you know, the police, and, you know, we already looked at it in a particular light, but we are
48:01doing so much.
48:02I saw a video today where a woman police in a secondary school in Point 14.
48:08She's part of the school we had, the policing initiative.
48:12Yes.
48:12And she's hand-sewing with needle and thread, a skill of belonging to her student.
48:17Sorry I didn't send Jackie the video in time, you know.
48:20So we are lovers, you know.
48:23We are nurturers.
48:24We care.
48:25And we really want to see things better.
48:29I agree.
48:30You know, we wish when we go to work, you know, that is a situation where we could go to
48:34all the neighborhoods and sit and just hang out with everybody.
48:38Not drink on the people's job, but sit and, where's our love?
48:42Yes.
48:42There's our peace.
48:43There's our happiness.
48:44Look at it.
48:44Yes.
48:45Look at that.
48:47It's a beautiful sight.
48:48Look at that.
48:49Look at that.
48:52See, that is the love.
48:54That is the love.
48:55Is it Raquel?
48:56WPC Raquel Jasper.
48:58Yeah, Jasper.
48:59WPC Jasper.
49:01Well done.
49:03I mean, it's part of her.
49:06Yeah.
49:06It's not just because, you know, she's in the service, but the service is one where she's showing.
49:12It's not just showing up to arrest people, but to help persons in communities.
49:15And this is what we need more of, ASP, and I mean that because I was able to see some
49:21of the great entertainers and persons who have contributed so much to society being in school because they decided to
49:30show up and speak to us to motivate us.
49:33We have a caller on the line.
49:35We have a caller on the line.
49:35Let's head back to the phone.
49:35Let's call her.
49:40Good evening.
49:40Good evening, sir.
49:46Good evening to you, sir.
49:48Good evening, Nicola.
49:48Good evening.
50:18At Barman Trace, he was going in no portfolio.
50:22On the 8th, I called, I picked up PC.
50:26I don't call a fast ride.
50:28He took the information, no response.
50:31This morning, I spoke to a corporal.
50:36And no response, sir.
50:39So I just informed you about the situation.
50:42We tried to have a good situation and that we cannot respond
50:45when I get it from you.
50:49If you wish, you might know the number if you didn't know if you want it on air.
50:57I have access to the numbers, sir.
51:00But I appreciate that because, I mean, we need the public to keep us on our toes as well.
51:05So I would now have to do what I have to do to ensure that the next time you call,
51:10you get a response.
51:11Yes.
51:12All right.
51:13Remember, you can give us a call at 623-1711, extension 1996 and 1997.
51:19We head back to the phone lines at this time.
51:22All right.
51:23So let's continue the conversation, ESP, with regards to where we left or before the call,
51:30where we are seeing individuals now showing up into schools.
51:34And that was a part of what, you know, I was able to witness some of the great names that
51:40we have before us.
51:41I was able to see Wendy Fitzwilliam up close and personal showing up in my primary school to speak to
51:47us
51:47and letting us know, you know, you could be just like me or even better.
51:51And not just seeing them, you know, on social media.
51:55They are actually showing up and giving time, their quality time for these young people.
52:00And, you know, we always comment instances like that.
52:04And if we all give a little more, things would improve.
52:11We need to use our influence in a positive way.
52:15But, you see, Miss Husbands, we, sometimes we shoot ourselves in our feet because, I mean, sometimes our daily duties
52:25are themselves.
52:27Like, for instance, somebody might be preaching about something positive this minute here.
52:34And then they go into a studio to write a song and the song is pure slackness.
52:40Death.
52:40Some persons may say something positive, let me say on a radio station.
52:45And then the next tune, the plays Agondune.
52:48You know, so we have to learn how to strike the balance.
52:52We have to understand because sometimes we say things and, you know, we have a lot of young persons in
52:59media
52:59and a lot of young social media influencers who don't understand their responsibility as well.
53:06I don't want to cut you off, but I know we have a caller on.
53:08Who also?
53:09Caller, good evening.
53:11Hello, guys.
53:12Good evening.
53:13Good evening.
53:13Good evening.
53:14Good evening, caller.
53:15Good evening.
53:16Yes, good evening.
53:17Good evening, caller.
53:18Thank you, caller.
53:19Um, for the movie last fourth, three, you know, see you know, I love my country.
53:27I was born here, my parents, my grandparents, I didn't even born in this country.
53:32And nobody had their backcourses on it because I was telling you what they asked and that's how many of
53:36you backcourses on it.
53:37That's what I wanted to do in it.
53:39He said, let's pray what I want to do in my son.
53:41And he talked to when he came to church, to his friends, his kind of things to me.
53:46But as he asked for, he said, when you go on his report,
53:49you can go inside this place, they didn't go with the center of the community,
53:53we are going to do alexis, I'm going to have an Aichana and I'm going to be a star of
53:56the world.
53:57The truth is you are going to do alexis, I'm going to have a star of the world.
54:01And the truth is you are going to do alexis, I'm going to have a star of the world.
54:03And the other thing, this judge comes to the need,
54:07the need conversation when the children start to see when they're talking about
54:11he learns and runs and turns out of the world.
54:13Because as he was saying, when you see, when there's so many times like family,
54:17these people, in their parents, he think they're both at because they're encouraging the children to use it,
54:22and they're going to say, my beginning, about her.
54:26And the mother, she could be a great man,
54:29a because of children as their parents being our children,
54:32and their children is going to be an威力 just to say,
54:47all right next time we could use the 999 the 800 tips the 555 and if you know you're not
54:57if you're
54:57not getting through to the station or you're not satisfied with the response that the station is
55:02giving we could use the anonymous hotlines because I understand you want to give information and
55:07some of the questions we would ask you is really pertinent questions there maybe our tone needs
55:12some adjustment I could agree with that at times because we saw it fit to introduce a customer
55:19service policy within the Trinidad Tobago police service if there wasn't a need or a gut for that
55:23it would not have been introduced so we understand I can tell you one of the things I witnessed the
55:28most as a common complaint when I used to work at police complaints division is impolite behavior
55:34so we know that a lot of police officers have a way that they they speak to the public I'm
55:43a lot of
55:43persons tell me sometimes that I am rough but not the public but in my personal and friends yes my
55:49my gym partners and stuff like that yes you know I'm this part of you what we could use the
55:55555 we
55:56could use the 800 tips and you would get a different response but sometimes the questions the officers
56:03need to ask you certain things what they have on what they're wearing they come with a vehicle and I
56:08know you're saying by the time they might ask if they come with a vehicle because by the time we
56:12on
56:12the way if we see a white vehicle coming we want to know there's a vehicle to stop yeah you
56:17know but you know
56:18I encourage you to don't let one bad experience deter you from working with us we wouldn't always get
