00:00This program contains some material that is unsuitable for young children.
00:37Beyond the Tape, we'll be back after these messages.
01:23It's a great time to join us.
01:30It's a great time to join us at Woodland Dance Academy, where dancers ages 4 to 65 find their rhythm
01:35in Indian classical, folk, and contemporary styles.
01:38For nine years, we've built a warm and welcoming community across Trinidad with classes in Chaconas, Coover, Princess Town, San
01:47Fernando, and Adebay.
01:49Call 344-5891 to register today.
01:54We'd love to dance with you.
01:57From tropical waves to Saharan dust, from heavy rainfall to heat advisories, we're tracking every change across the region.
02:06Count on us for accurate forecasts, timely alerts, and the weather information you need every day.
02:12Because when the forecast changes, you should never be caught off guard.
02:40Good evening, Trinidad and Tobago International audience and our brothers and sisters in Grenada.
02:45This is Beyond the Tape, and I'm your host, Whitney Husbands.
02:48I'd like to thank Marlon Hopkinson for filling in for me yesterday.
02:52And as we proceed, it is Thursday already, y'all.
02:55Yes, it is.
02:55And that means we are approaching yet another weekend.
02:58It was a short week for us.
02:59And, you know, the entire country at this point in time is honestly anxiously awaiting to hear some sort of
03:07information, some sort of news when it comes to the missing persons that the incident that took place on Sunday.
03:13And I know many persons are wondering what may take place moving forward.
03:18But what I could say is, with an update that we received recently, that with some sort of comfort to
03:25one of the family members, is the best way I could say it, is that a body was recovered earlier
03:30today.
03:30We are now spotted floating in the waters by members of the Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard.
03:36The body was transported to Stubbles Bay, Shagaramus, and that means one family has closure and the search continues.
03:44Another big topic that we have to discuss as well that we are seeing, the closed area, District 2, which
03:51is in the Maloney area, and we're getting more information on how things will be played out moving forward with
03:57regards to that.
03:58More to discuss on this with more information and, of course, bringing clarity for us today.
04:03And every Thursday, we have superintendent or acting superintendent, O.E. Russell.
04:07Good evening to you, sir.
04:09Good evening, Ms. Husbands.
04:10Good evening, Trinidad and Tobago.
04:12Good evening, Grenada.
04:13Good evening, our viewers of the islands.
04:16Good evening to the United States, the viewers in the United States.
04:19Yes, good evening to you.
04:21Good evening to the viewers in Canada and all our international viewers, friends, family, loved ones, on behalf of the
04:27Commissioner of Police, Deputy Commissioners, Assistant Commissioners, and First and Second Division Officers of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service.
04:35Ms. Husbands.
04:36You had a long day today.
04:37It is clear.
04:38This is my third program for the day.
04:41The heavy is the head that we're, you know, the grown, but I can do all things through Christ who
04:48strengthens me.
04:49So I'm here today to share that information.
04:52You have to be here today.
04:53Yeah.
04:54All right.
04:54Boss one and boss two.
04:56This is boss two and boss one is sitting inside the room there.
05:01Ms. Husbands, I know there's a lot of anxiety in the air.
05:05Yes.
05:05The information through the persons are putting out there as well.
05:10The thing about it, and I am happy you spoke about that information, and I want to warn persons, please
05:17do not put out any misinformation either regarding the incident in Shagaramus.
05:26And, because I've seen things going around where other areas have been locked down.
05:31Well, I didn't know when I got frightened yesterday.
05:33No.
05:33I was saying, wait, it was locked down.
05:34I didn't know, because, you know, you're all just showing up with a bullhorn.
05:37Let me say, Ms. Husbands, the element of surprise is what would yield the success, Ms. Husbands.
05:44Okay.
05:44We cannot come and announce, but we're coming by you tomorrow.
05:47Well, not tomorrow, but at least.
05:49So, we cannot come and announce that, but Trinidad and Tobago, I'm asking for persons to be responsible.
05:55Wait for your updates from the TTPS.
05:58We will do weekly briefings, and if need be, we will have even shorter briefings, meaning that we will reduce
06:05the time frame once they have something to update the public about.
06:08Be careful what you read on social media.
06:11No other area has been locked down, because I, too, saw it.
06:15I had to make a few calls just to confirm, because I know when I speak, I speak on behalf
06:20of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service.
06:21I want to say thank you to our colleagues, our friends in the Trinidad and Tobago Defense Force,
06:26and all the apparatus of Dimension National Security that continuously help us as we look to establish that pillar number
06:33five of public safety,
06:35where we seek to, you know, look at crime suppression and dismantling of criminal gangs in an effort to reduce
06:40crime, reduce fear of crime,
06:43improve crime prevention, and improve crime detection going forward, as well as, together, bringing it with the public safety on
06:51the nation's roadways.
06:52No, but what you mentioned in the nation's roadways, there was a serious RTA that took place in Brentwood, which
06:59is in the central area, I would say.
07:01Yes, and it is contributing to some traffic, so I'm asking persons to this.
07:06Oh.
07:07Have some patience.
07:08And, of course, when you look at the damage, you recognize that some sort of speed was involved.
07:15Yeah, it is, this here is something that we continue stressing on, and I understand there were two motorcyclists involved
07:28with this said driver.
07:30Well, and I guess it is one of the persons we saw, if Jackie could go back a bit, that
07:34was on the ground there.
07:36But, yeah, we have to really take it down.
07:39And, Ms. Husbands, I remember, I remember my days of being a motorcyclist as well.
07:44I had two motorcyclists in my younger days, and, you know, those were the days.
07:50Let's just put it this way, my mother was quite happy when I sold it.
07:54I agree with her.
07:56You have to be careful with that.
07:57Yes.
07:57Now, we have a lot to discuss, as I mentioned before, and when we opened, I gave an update with
08:02regards to one of the bodies being found.
08:04Now, police have confirmed that a body recovered at Monos Island today is unrelated to the ongoing search for the
08:14five people still missile falling.
08:16All right, so I understand that this was something different, so I want to move away from that.
08:22Thank you, Jackie, for that.
08:23But in this case, the first body was found and was recovered and was identified as Anil Ahi, and his
08:31mother confirmed the identity.
08:32And this is what the mom, the mom, actually made a statement, a strong woman.
08:38I'm not going to lie, superintendent.
08:41And she was able to speak to members of the media to really say how she feels after finding out
08:48the news that her son's body was found.
08:51Now, let's take a listen to what she had to say.
08:53I'm very pleased that I got my child body, and I'm praying to the others that they received it, because
09:02as a parent, I wanted closure, and thank God I got it.
09:07So, to everybody in Trinidad and Tobago, thanks to the support and prayers and everything, and everybody enjoy.
09:20And let me reiterate there with what I was just about to read.
09:24It is a separate incident, right?
09:26That was a separate incident.
09:27This here was with the incident that happened on Sunday.
09:30One of the bodies was recovered thus far.
09:33Ms. Husbands, let me just say to the grieving mother, family, loved ones, friends, you know, we want to just
09:42send our condolences.
09:43Yes.
09:44The TTP, Chantibica Police Service, you know, we are here to support you in this time.
09:47We're a victim, witness, and support unit.
09:49We stand by.
09:50Should you need any sort of assistance with respect to counseling and other, you know, help that you may require
09:57from time to time.
09:59What stood out to me is that, notwithstanding her loss, she still thanked God that the body was found so
10:05that she can receive her closure.
10:07I know the search is still going on, and we really, really hope to find all those who are missing
10:14so that, you know, we could really, really, really see what is what going forward.
10:20Now, Superintendent, we have an exclusive video from Captain Ramberat and his team, the Hunter Search and Rescue, with regards
10:26to the body being found.
10:27Let's take a listen.
10:28So, this video is exclusive to Beyond the Tape.
10:31Hi, Whitney.
10:33Hi, ASP Russell.
10:35I know you're supposed to be on this evening.
10:37Hunter Search and Rescue Team will be out here.
10:41So, we with Captain Anthony.
10:45So, right about this point here, around here, is just a footer.
10:50So, this is Canning's Point.
10:53That is Centipede Island.
10:55That's Centipede Island.
10:57And the body was found just around here this morning, pointing to this footer right here.
11:03So, we have, a footer has been achieved.
11:07This is Coast Guard headquarters, and at Stobbers Bay.
11:16We just run in and check out the DT's here.
11:19This is the, uh, CG60 boat.
11:28We're continuing to search.
11:30One family was able to achieve closure this morning.
11:33That is the family of missing persons, a male, an Elahi, all right?
11:41Which means that we have, um, five persons still missing at sea.
11:49And, uh, amongst those five would be one fee fee.
11:55So, the search continues, hopefully, you know, we could get closure, achieve closure, for the five other families.
12:03So, this is an exclusive to Beyond the Keep, and I wish you guys, uh, a nice program.
12:12But, uh, this is the spot here.
12:15So, this is the spot here.
12:15So, we have, then, we know Raquel.
12:19Yeah?
12:19Somewhere here with us, Captain Anthony Waltz.
12:25So, this is the spot here.
12:27So, we're just passing Coast Guard here in Stobbers.
12:35We're going into this area.
12:37So, the city area, we're going for maybe about in this area.
12:41So, today is from here.
12:42Coast Guard, Stobbers, all the way there.
12:45Turn that point, get into Tetron.
12:47And after Tetron, get up to the coast of Scotland Bay and keep checking the first book up.
12:55So, we feel strongly that, um, buddies will come up on their own time.
13:00Today is day four.
13:01So, some may still come up this evening, or if not tomorrow.
13:06And, um, so, we have the guys looking on with the binoculars, right?
13:23It is very tragic.
13:26Once again, to the family, when it comes to Anil Ahi, it is something that, you know, many
13:33persons will pray and open that you will hear something different from what we're hearing
13:38today.
13:39Yeah, yeah.
13:39But, again, the mother is extremely strong.
13:42Yep.
13:43I, and, you know, loss of life is loss of life.
13:49And I know a lot of persons, um, who were involved in this, you know, some of them had
13:56injuries.
13:57Some, I know there was someone that was critical as well in the hospital.
14:01You know, we make so many plans, you know, what we will do tomorrow, what we will do next
14:05week, not really knowing that the next minute.
14:08I am not even going as fast tomorrow doesn't belong to either one of us, you know.
14:13Um, I, I pray for all the families involved with respect to this situation.
14:20And I want to say a special thank you to Mr. Rambarat and his team, Ms. Husbands, for the sterling
14:26contribution he has done, working alongside members of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service.
14:32You know, we really, really, really appreciate your service, sir.
14:35And we thank you.
14:36Yes, most definitely.
14:38Now, briefly, with regard to the article I was reading with regards to Monos Island.
14:44Now, the information that we're receiving, and this is according to the Trinidad Express,
14:49police have confirmed that a body recovered off Monos Island today is unrelated to the ongoing
14:55search for the five people still missing following Sunday's boating collision off Shagaramas.
15:01Now, the discovery came hours after the body of Anil Ahi.
15:05One of the six people originally reported missing following the collision was recovered near the Trinidad
15:11and Tobago Coast Guard headquarters at Stobles Bay, Shagaramas.
15:15Now, police said shortly before 9 a.m. today, Ahi's body was spotted floating a short distance
15:21offshore from the Coast Guard headquarters.
15:24Members of the Coast Guard recovered the body and took it to Stobles Bay.
15:28The recovery was confirmed by a police source.
15:31And, of course, we heard from Hunter's search and rescue team along with Captain Valance Rambarat
15:36and said Coast Guard personnel had retrieved the body.
15:41Now, we heard from the mom as well where she brought the closure that she needed.
15:46Again, condolences to the family.
15:49Now, switching gear now, Superintendent, as you said, we have a lot to speak about.
15:54Curfew, that doesn't mean for everyone the movement passes.
15:57Yes.
15:58Give us more info on that, please.
16:00We need it.
16:00How are we applying for this?
16:03And persons who don't live also.
16:04Right.
16:05So, I mean, the country is aware of what is taking place in Maloney at this time with respect to
16:11Legal Notice 847 and 848, if my memory serves me correct.
16:18And I'm saying, I want persons to understand that we are there to do our job.
16:25We are there to assist and support the community.
16:29The officers have been trained, both on the TTPS side and members of the Defense Force,
16:34in various disciplines, human relations, conflict resolution and de-escalation, use of force policy and community engagement.
16:43So, we expect them to treat persons a particular way to respond, deal with and communicate with persons with dignity
16:52and respect.
16:52And we are asking persons where you feel that this was not done.
16:57Of course, we have the Police Complaints Authority, Police Complaints Division, Professional Standards Bureau.
17:03So, I'm moving on to the passes now.
17:06We understand that persons may need passes.
17:09The Act 21 of 2026 speaks to an application.
17:12This application can be made right now by you in writing.
17:19It must have your name, your address, your, well, proof of address.
17:25It must have your employment details, where you work, which company, the name of your employer and the location of
17:34your company.
17:35It must have your hours of work, so you may be working in an industrial environment that requires you to
17:41work a night shift that falls within the curfew or somewhere along the curfew, you know.
17:47Or shift.
17:47Shift work, we understand that.
17:50You can come to the Maloney Police Station because the only person that can issue that permit is either the
17:58Commissioner of Police or the Head Special Operations Unit.
18:05The Head of the Special Operations Unit, which at this time is Acting Senior Superintendent Avalon Frank.
18:13So, he has been the person appointed to treat with and deal with the passes.
18:17What are you working with?
18:20You must work with your identification card, copy, and the original.
18:26If you have a vehicle, we want you to work with your driver's permit and a copy.
18:34If you have a vehicle that you are using, you must be the registered owner of that vehicle.
18:40What?
18:40Yes, we want you to be the registered owner of that vehicle.
18:43It means you may have to transfer your vehicle.
18:45What?
18:46Some persons raise the issue, and I'm taking my time to go through it.
18:49Some persons raise the issue, like in the case of somebody that called me and told me that their daughter
18:55is a flight attendant.
18:56Where you have a driver coming to pick you up.
18:59That driver's name and driving particulars must also be on your application, and you must obtain the copy.
19:07So, if I am driving a taxi for someone.
19:10Ms. Osborne, I can finish.
19:13I can finish, please.
19:15It must be accompanied by a copy of the driver's permit, and we also want to see the original as
19:25well.
19:26So, you'll have to make that time hence the reason it's between 3 and 5 where the senior super sit
19:30to approve these permits.
19:34Now, Ms. Osborne, I hear you, but we have to have, there will be some level of inconvenience.
19:39But the police service is not there to really inconvenience persons.
19:44We want to ensure that public safety, we are doing this to save lives.
19:49This didn't happen just so it happened as a result of a video that went viral where we were seeing
19:55children, mothers, fathers, grandparents running for their lives in broad daylight.
20:00So, it's not that the police wake up this morning and decide we just go in and whatever idea some
20:05persons may have or what other persons may be spreading out there in the media.
20:11Something happened before and a lot of persons are overlooking what happened before that brought us to this stage that
20:16made us see that it's necessary.
20:18We hope to achieve a lot of things as well coming out of this to be closer to the community
20:23hence the training for the officers and community engagement.
20:26We want when you do your application that you sign your application.
20:30And I want to put it out there that contravention of your permit carries with it if found guilty upon
20:40summary conviction a fine of $50,000 and imprisonment to one year.
20:48So, I would reiterate your full name and residential address, your employment details, the name of the company you work
20:56with, the name of your employer, the location of your place of employment, your hours of employment and all conditions
21:03of the employment that require you to move during the curfew.
21:06For example, whether you work shift or your shift patterns, the registration number of the vehicle you'll be using, the
21:14vehicle must be registered in your name and if you use a hired driver, the driver's full name and address
21:20and your signature.
21:22The documents to bring are as follows. Your ID card, original and one copy. If you use a hired driver,
21:29the driver's ID card, original and one copy and the driver's permit with a copy. Applications without the required information
21:40will not be processed.
21:43Question, what's the time frame? The time frame of? To receive your permit because those are a lot of permits.
21:50Yes, your permit, but as I'm saying, once the necessary requirements are met, the head of the special operation, which
21:57at this time is the acting senior, Mr. Aberdon Frank, he will be sitting and as he reviews, he will
22:02be approving going along.
22:03So we have to wait for a batch, like, or we have to wait for the seals.
22:06No, no, no, no, no, we are not waiting on a batch, Mr. Aberdon Frank, because everybody may have different
22:10needs that require a different permit at a different time.
22:15Somebody asked me today, what happens if there is an emergency, like a medical emergency, like somebody, a mother, a
22:22female is going to give birth?
22:24And I'm saying the commissioner also, with his briefing, he spoke, I know we want to go to a break,
22:28but let me get the information.
22:29Well, no, we're coming back after the break, we have more to talk on that. We have to head to
22:34our headlines right now, so let's see what's making today's headlines.
22:37It's a matter of time.
22:51Now let's see what happens.
22:53Let's see what happens.
22:54I'm going to go to our headlines.
22:55Bye, bye, bye, bye.
22:56Time is, I'm going to go to our next stage.
23:05Not today's chronology.
23:05We'll see you soon.
23:05This is the end of the day.
23:05Bye bye, bye, bye, bye.
23:15And those are your stories making today's headlines.
23:17We'll take that short break.
23:18We'll be back.

25:46And we are back, and of course, if you're now joining us, we have acting superintendent with us,
25:50and we continue what we were saying, Mr. Russell, with regards to Yeah Boy.
25:59Well, Ms. Husband, it's a serious exercise, and I don't want us to lose sight and focus of the exercise.
26:06It's all done and geared towards the saving of lives, the restoring of peace to that community,
26:11because I'm sure the persons of that community, there are persons who have indicated how happy they are to sleep
26:16without the noise on the corner, how happy they are to sleep without somebody smoking marijuana
26:20outside their window and stuff like that.
26:22So, you know, there's a lot of benefits to it.
26:25We hope that when we move out, because we're looking at all aspects, the psychological aspect of it as well,
26:31because I was asked about that, and, you know, we have persons there on the ground just checking
26:34and making sure everybody's okay.
26:36The commissioner was on the ground at the start of the exercise, so he himself was out there.
26:42He didn't send the troops, he was out there.
26:44Could I ask you a quick question here?
26:45How are you all going to deal with the congestion that we're witnessing here,
26:48that person's entering Maloney?
26:50Because, I mean, in this case, it was just, everything is fresh.
26:55Well, Ms. Husband, at some point in time, you will have some level of inconvenience.
26:59We're asking persons if you know, even if you have to go into the area and you have a particular
27:02time,
27:03try and reach as early as possible so that as soon as the curfew breaks, you can enter to do
27:08your business.
27:09Wow, these are for permits?
27:11That was a consultation that the TTPS did last night.
27:14That line, yes, is for permits.
27:17We recognized persons who were anxious and they had a lot of, we wanted to give them an opportunity
27:22to say what they want to say and how they felt.
27:24So there was a consultation attended by Deputy Commissioner of Police, Ms. Susan Martin,
27:30ACP Vina Butler, Senior Superintendent Avalon Frank, and Acting ASP Wilkinson.
27:37And they heard the views of the residents and they started issuing some of the passes and stuff like that.
27:42Well, I heard a view from one of the residents, and I'm going to ask you this question,
27:45just as he asked the question, now, is it only solely based on gang violence happening within communities
27:54that we will see a closed area because persons reference the incidents that happened in the central area as well
28:00and say, you know, the two women who were gone down and then the attorney and they say,
28:04but no, there was no lockdown happening there.
28:07And in this case, this was a little bit different.
28:10But where are we with that?
28:11Right. Now, it's how we, now, some may be viewed as isolated incidents and some may be viewed as gang
28:17violence.
28:17Based on the intelligence gathered coming out of the Maloney situation, there was a little more behind it, right?
28:23And the Act speaks clearly, and I don't want to, I don't want to really misquote anything.
28:28So what the Act says is, it gives us the power to do certain things.
28:33The policing districts that have been divided into seven, so the Act creates for seven districts.
28:38Special operation, in other words, the Act allows targeted operation against the criminal activity in both districts, right?
28:47Thirdly, closed areas that allow us to close off the area and the Act caters that we could have the
28:53assistance of the military.
28:54So the Act gives us certain things once these things happen.
28:57What triggers it?
28:59We're looking at the proliferation of the gang violence and all the serious crimes coming.
29:06So something must trigger it.
29:08So the other incidents in Coover, that was not triggered?
29:11Right, so they may not have necessarily been gang violence.
29:16Investigations are still taking place.
29:17But what we saw there, it was something out of a movie, or a horror movie, I should say,
29:23because we are seeing persons shooting indiscriminately and persons are running for their lives.
29:28And I'm seeing anybody who think that the TTPS should not have gone in there, but this kind of response,
29:34I would like them to bring a different suggestion to the table as well.
29:37Well, I hope it's bringing, you know, some clarity for some to differentiate the two,
29:43and not just see it as an isolated one because they feel targeted.
29:46But I know that you have some information.
29:48You want to give us all of the special operations that took place in Maloney.
29:53The special operations in Maloney.
29:55The Shining and Tobago Police Service can confirm a recovery of a fire,
29:59believed to be connected to the shooting incidents which precipitated the declaration
30:04of the Maloney building's housing development as a closed area under the Special Operations Act 2026.
30:12Right, Mr. Spence?
30:13Yes.
30:14The recovery was made following sustained police operations conducted within and around the Maloney area
30:21since approximately 8 p.m. on November 10, 2026.
30:27As law enforcement personnel continue to pursue intelligence leads arising out of investigation
30:33into recent acts of violence.
30:35I want to say that the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Alistair Guevara,
30:38personally led the operation as officers' coordinator of the area to preserve the integrity of the scene
30:42while the crime scene investigators clearly recovered, photographed, packaged,
30:48and secured the fireman for forensic examination.
30:54The fireman is indeed expected to undergo ballistic and forensic analysis
30:58as investigators seek to determine its connection to the recent firearm-related incident in the Maloney area.
31:07Investigations are indeed ongoing and will continue to update the members of the public.
31:13The TTPS wish to assure members of the public that operation within the closed area remain active
31:19and that officers will continue to aggressively pursue illegal firearms, ammunition,
31:26wanted persons, and those responsible for acts of violence within the community.
31:31We want to thank the public for their continued support.
31:34We want to encourage the public to share the information.
31:36800 tips.
31:37And we thank you for your understanding and your patience.
31:40But understand, it's all done with a view of making your community safer.
31:45I am certain persons there want to see their children playing in the parks,
31:48playing on the football fields and stuff like that,
31:51without having to worry about unexpected, indiscriminate shooting and gang violence.
31:56All right, we will discuss this and more.
31:58We need to take that break.
31:59We'll be back.

34:39That took place in the Brentwood area
34:42That there have been two road fatalities
34:45Wow
34:45That took place
34:46And that is related to the motorcyclists
34:48Motorcyclists
34:49One died on the scene
34:50And the other
34:52Was
34:54Passed away
34:54In, I guess, the care of the healthcare professionals
34:58But condolences
34:59Going out to the families
35:01You know, yes
35:02Yes, and I want to just reiterate
35:04On behalf of the Shantivigo Police Service
35:05I want to send condolences to the families
35:10Of those that passed away as a result of this accident
35:13I know it's never an easy thing
35:16As again, I reiterated
35:18We really need to look out for each other on the roadway
35:20To where I know bikers have a particular concern
35:23Yeah, people have no respect for the bikers
35:27A lot of persons think that they can gauge the speed of a bike
35:30They cannot
35:31A bike is a very quick vehicle
35:34From that and Tobago
35:35Remember, I tell you that
35:37Yeah
35:37A bike is a very quick vehicle
35:39Superintendent, we have a call on hold at this time
35:41So we get to the phone lines
35:42Caller, good evening
35:43Yes, Whitney, good evening to you sir
35:46Good evening caller
35:49So, Mr. Russell
35:51Big man thing here now
35:52You really believe
35:54The sentence of baloney
35:56Of the police, you really believe
35:58I do believe so
35:59I believe the glass of police around them
36:01Because they must protect them
36:03And no crime
36:04Once the police has a police booth
36:06Yeah, and they have all these police all around them
36:08Mr. Russell
36:09The people are very happy
36:11But they will never see so
36:13Because the bad boy family and them
36:15If they open them out and say that
36:16Bad boy family is coming after them
36:18Mr. Russell, you ever
36:20Have you seen what's going on?
36:23Yes
36:25Yes
36:25Yes
36:27This is what we were heading for
36:30Mr. Russell
36:31Ian was heading for
36:32Haitian style of living
36:34Thank you to the police
36:50And I am happy that you raised that situation with Haiti
36:54Caller, as long as God gives me health and strength
36:57We, and give my members of the TTPS health and strength
37:01We would not allow what happened in Haiti to occur here
37:06But one of the most important things we need
37:09Is the partnership between us, the TTPS, and the public
37:13All right, we have another call
37:14Caller, good evening
37:17Hello
37:18Hello
37:19Hi, good evening
37:20Hi, good evening, caller
37:21Good evening, Mr. Russell
37:24Good evening, Mr. Russell
37:39Good evening, ma'am
37:40And I knew that building 13 and the other buildings came down
37:46About two months ago and they signed pieces up on the Mall here
37:50And I could know that when the guys came down from 13 and 9 and went to 6 and all
37:56about
37:57And you know, they was bouncing hands and shaking and they said, it's a togetherness again and what not and
38:03what not
38:03And this place was cool from since June month until, until, um, um, Monday gone
38:11It's not the guys in building 13, you know
38:14I could tell you, people from outside, they're red-haired, one from 14 is hospitalized right now
38:20I will call names, he who caused that all of 13 in the Mallory
38:25So I have to say, but we have to suffer the consequences
38:29Get back
38:30Well, ma'am, if you leave a number, I could get the information, please and thank you
38:34Well, I mean, apart from that, Superintendent
38:37And from what the, which is a little concerning for me here
38:40And you could guide me because the Commissioner of Police left a statement with regards to, you know
38:46How persons could connect with the officers in that said district, which is the micro-units that they have, right
38:53Now, according to the Express, um, it stated people seeking to enter the Maloney buildings housing development during the nightly
39:00curfew
39:00Were advised yesterday to apply for permits at the two police micro-units established within the communities
39:08Now, I don't know if persons know what the micro-units look like, but I'm sure Jackie will show us
39:12that shortly
39:13Now, Commissioner of Police, um, Mr. Guevara said the units were established to serve as community liaison centers
39:22Allowing residents and members of the public to access police officers
39:27Obtain permits
39:29And here, my concern is Superintendent
39:31And provide information to assist with ongoing operations
39:37He said, the simplest way to obtain a permit was to visit either the unit where officers would be able
39:44to process and issue the necessary documentation
39:47Now, I get all of that with the permits
39:51An emergency may happen and you will have to go on, go to the said unit
39:56But to give information
39:57Well, Ms. Husband, what we want to do
40:00We hope that there is a gelling
40:04For any reason, we talk about community engagement
40:07That's the reason why we have so many community programs
40:10Um, the community justice clinic
40:13Tongue meeting
40:14Station
40:14We want to have that close-knit situation where you can feel free to come to me
40:20But outside of that
40:21We have the 800 tips that we are encouraging persons to use
40:25If you don't feel comfortable
40:26We have the 555 that you can also use if you don't feel comfortable
40:31That's how the caller seems to have some information
40:33And, you know, started saying certain things
40:35If she wishes, if she leaves her number
40:38I will communicate with her
40:39I will get that information
40:41So, I mean, there are systems in place
40:44So, let's utilize the system
40:46I have a serious question to ask you
40:47But we have a caller
40:48I'll ask you after the call

45:29Go
45:38and we are back now before i ask you my serious question there was something that
45:42i was supposed to ask you earlier when persons park in front of someone's driveway for them to
45:50enter exit whatever the case may be even if they are resident or not what could the police do when
45:56it comes to persons blocking someone's driveway well the police can come to the area to see if
46:02they can locate they could ask a few questions hey do you know who's driving this vehicle outside of
46:06that they could have the vehicle wrecked oh so the homeowner could do that the homeowner can call a
46:14private wrecker as well it's the same thing as that you know we speak about but i said there's a
46:18cost
46:18and they will have to go through the system to retrieve the cost or the police could come
46:24uh now we can just call the police record like everywhere well you would just call the polish
46:30record like that that i mean if it's somewhere like let's it's a built-up area it's the sport of
46:34spain it's woodbroke and stuff like that of course you will be wrecked one because i mean parking in
46:38front of somebody's giver is indeed a parking infringement um if the record is closed by
46:43the police can't get the record yes we can have the record come as well um but i know that
46:48would
46:49take a little while because based on the districts there are some divisions may not really have
46:53even have records records correct that is true so it may take a while sometimes by the time you
46:57record the way the person comes so you don't advise persons to slash the people's tires do not know
47:02because you see you slash that person's tires and then that person come there two minutes after
47:06you are now facing some more malicious damage for slashing the person's tires so you now facing a
47:11criminal offense where at worst case scenario that person that would have parked their car
47:16um and blocked your driveway would be facing a traffic offense then why people do that i don't
47:20get it i know you can't answer some people are just selfish and inconsiderate yeah i mean you could
47:25see someone or persons are living if it's apartments why would you block it i don't have a clue but
47:32you
47:32could slash the tires if there's an emergency miss husbands miss miss husbands do not slash anybody's
47:39tires for me trying to record the slash nobody tires that please and thank you miss husbands do not call
47:44the
47:44police if we would try to get a record if you could get private records as well you can go
47:49miss husband this modern ttps that we speak of today maybe so they relay the information
47:55because there's a mandate we'll be trying to ensure that each station have at least two vehicles outfitted
48:00sometimes based on the demands of the police service or the police the district police station
48:06because some people refuse to behave themselves the vehicle may be attending to something serious
48:11we if we are on our way to our home invasion i'm using the vehicle or man on premises before
48:18you shoot
48:19them off your avocado tree miss husbands as you usually say we would want to come there and have
48:25the man come down of the avocado three part of the avocado tree and then go and give you the
48:31parking
48:31situation that's like when you go to the hospital there's a triad situation that determines who they
48:35attend to first you think if i tried to apply now for ful i will get through after the statements
48:43i made
48:44well miss husbands um when you apply even the police officer or the members of the defense force when we
48:50apply for ful we apply as a private citizen yes yes and you must go through the process and i'm
48:55coming out
48:55after the end of the process once the investigation is completed the psychometric test your background
49:00check you have no criminal record you pass your medical and you are so trained and qualified to use
49:06a particular type of firearm by a certified instructor slash institution and you fulfill everything then
49:13so the psychometric test you think if they put an avocado tree there it will trigger me i would i
49:20would
49:21want to i don't want to believe so you think so you know that her nickname is gone oh my
49:25god no don't
49:26say that but listen this is the serious question i have fear we're going back because maloney is in
49:30this spotlight district 2 is in this spotlight and you i reference what the commissioners stated with
49:37regards to persons coming to give information in case of operations my concern is and my question is to you
49:42how are you all going to deal with that when you have some of your officers who may be rogue
49:49mr husbands and i hear you with that and it's a it's a it's a conversation and it's something a
49:55lot of persons say now we have trained the officers we have selected the officers that are carrying all
50:00these operations right human beings are human beings but we are saying if you think the information you
50:07have is very very sensitive and you believe your life may be at risk or you don't know who to
50:13give your
50:13information too that is why we have the anonymous hotlines like 800 tips 555 all we want is the
50:22information so you can still use those hotlines they are all functioning at this time all right and as
50:28the commissioner said with regards to you know the residents in maloney the majority of them seem very happy
50:36well if you could give us more info or not well i don't live i don't believe maloney but from
50:41what
50:41from what i have heard is that a lot of persons are happy and they feel safer what we want
50:47is that when
50:49the operations has come to an end and the police has moved out of the area we want that sense
50:56of safety
50:57to remain well the commissioner said lonely yes i want you to understand that the ttps will not give
51:03up on you so we will continue to be in that area will continue to maintain our presence with we
51:09are
51:10recruiting officers within the ttps so we could have more human resources to put out there we be looking
51:16at care and maintenance of police vehicle i know we have had a rough week with respect to police vehicles
51:20but
51:21it happens from time to time but we are doing all that we can do to make sure that not
51:26just one
51:27area but all of trinidad and tobago is safe in keeping with our pillar number five public safety
51:33when we look to increase safety among the citizens reduce violent crime reduce serious crime increase

52:11in the area we're going to put in another area he said they are commission of police for the polar
52:17financial he is really really good one more point concerning the boats they don't have anything to
