03:40for many.
03:41I'm not sure if it's going to be joyous for many of us out there, especially the six families
03:45who have been waiting and lost some of the lives of their loved ones in the collision
03:50that happened at sea.
03:51But our prayers continue to go out, our condolences continue to pour out there.

05:15Always.
05:15Of course, updates, yeah.
05:17And this one here is one that the entire country has been waiting to find out, especially
05:21the loved ones and family members.
05:23Now, with the update with regards to the bodies being recovered now, according to the Trinidad
05:27Express, a fourth body recovered now, a fourth body believed to be a woman, and one
05:32of the six people reported missing following Sunday's boating accident of Chagramas has
05:39been recovered.
05:41It was the second body found by the search parties on Friday.
05:45Now, the information was confirmed by Hunter's search and rescue team, Captain Rambarat.
05:50The body was retrieved by the Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard at around 10.30 a.m.
05:56Now, earlier, the body of a man was found by patrolling seamen of the Trinidad and Tobago
06:01Coast Guard.
06:02The bodies were found floating in waters near Scotland Bay.
06:06Another body was found in Scotland Bay on Thursday night.
06:09That discovery was made around 10 p.m. by Coast Guard personnel who were in the process
06:14of removing the body when police confirmed the find.
06:18Now, Coast Guard officers have retrieved a fifth body near the crash site at Cannings
06:23Point of Chagramas on Friday.
06:26A research is now continuing for the sixth person reported missing following Sunday's
06:31boating accident involving two pleasure crafts.
06:35The man's body was spotted by members of the Hunter's search and rescue team led by Captain
06:40Rambarat at around 1.50 p.m.
06:42The discovery was made less than three hours after the body of a woman believed to be 18-year-old
06:48Keanu C. Chan was retrieved.
06:51On Friday morning, the body of a man was found by patrolling seamen of the TTCJ near the crash
06:57site.
06:58And the body of a man was recovered at around 10.30 p.m. on Thursday near Scotland Bay.
07:04The first body was recovered on Thursday morning and was identified as Anil Ahi.
07:10The collision between two pleasure crafts occurred around 6.30 p.m. on Sunday in the vicinity
07:15of Point Cannings near Stoubles Bay.
07:18It resulted in several passengers being thrown overboard and one of the vessels sinking.
07:24The TTCJ stated on Friday that a dive team had departed Stoubles Bay to conduct an underwater
07:31search using an extended line search pattern.
07:35Now, here's an update from Captain Rambarat where he could give us more information as
07:39what's going on with the recovery of the bodies.
07:41So, let's take a listen.
07:44Okay, so this is another exclusive to Beyond the Tip from the Seas here of Chakramas.
07:53We have a mission, a special mission.
07:57But before I go on, pleasant good evening to Whitney Husbands and let me say it correctly
08:04this time, Acting Superintendent Russell.
08:08So, we're giving you an update.
08:10So, what we have this morning is that with the permission of the Trinidad and Tobago Coast
08:17Guard, we accompany by the name of Trent General Contractors Limited, that is, the specializes
08:30in underwater work, especially with roving operated vehicles, ROVs, and they are accustomed to inspecting
08:41those gas and oil platforms that we have beneath the surface of the sea.
08:46So, what they're doing is that what we've done this morning is that we've partnered with them
08:52to visit the crash site this morning and to ensure that we do a thorough survey in case we spot
09:04anything.
09:05So, this is the operator of the ROV and it's currently underwater and these are the images
09:12as you can see.
09:13We have some visibility issues, but nevertheless, we are able to see the debris beneath the surface
09:25of the sea and this is the water depth here, the water depth here, and this is Mario Russell
09:35from Highland Hikers, a good friend of mine and one of the best hikers in Trinidad and Tobago
09:41in terms of experience.
09:43So, the feet, we are currently in 93.7 feet of water and so these are the statistics that
09:54we are using.
09:55The owner of the company is Frenchars and he is on board somewhere, on top maybe, so we
10:04see below, utilising the below deck and this is centipede island head front, across here
10:12is Coast Guard headquarters and this is the exact crash site that we are on.
10:21So, you know, we started this operation at 6.30am this morning and it's probably three hours,
10:29approaching three hours.
10:31We have not spotted anything, but it is very, very time consuming.
10:36Just to update this morning, a body was found off Cannings Point, which is in the back there,
10:47right in the back there.
10:48So, we have confirmed now three bodies recovered and there are still to be three bodies to be
10:59accounted for.
11:00We could confirm it's three males at this point in time.
11:04Amongst the six, we have one female, so she is still to be accounted for.
11:10So, we are out here working hard.
11:13This is Gatsfury Island there and these are the operators.
11:19This is Trent Charles.
11:21Yeah, Trent, thanks very much for all your assistance, brother.
11:26We will never ever forget this.
11:31All right, so that's it, folks.
11:36Jackie, that's the update for today.
11:39Any further discoveries, I will send you an updated video.
11:46All right, and you heard from Captain Rambarat and, of course, the team that they were giving
11:51us the information and the technology used to recover, I should say, the bodies and, again,
11:57condolences.
11:57Condolences.
11:58Yes, condolences to the family.
12:00On behalf of the Trinidad Tobago Police Service, condolences to the families.
12:05I am happy that the bodies have been located so that families could have that sending home
12:13ceremony and the closure that is necessary.
12:16Not easy.
12:17Of course, the Trinidad Tobago Police Service, we stand by.
12:20Our victim witness and support unit, we stand by to assist and respect the counseling and
12:25stuff like that should it be required.
12:27So, feel free to give us.
12:30Superintendent, quickly with this matter because, again, I think persons are not understanding
12:35how sensitive this matter is and the information and things that they are putting out on social
12:42media and they are assuming or believe because they were present that they are involving a minor
12:47in this.
12:48Any updates on what was happened?
12:50What happened?
12:51Sorry.
12:52Well, Ms. Husbands, let me just say to those who are hell-bent and determined to create havoc
12:58by spreading whatever they opine or whatever have been told to them, things that they would
13:03not have witnessed personally.
13:05I am asking you to desist immediately from such behavior because you could see yourself
13:11ending up before a court, whether civil or otherwise, to answer questions with respect to that.
13:18Please refrain from posting any minors.
13:22Refrain from speaking and divulging information that you did not have the time or the permission to authenticate.
13:33I am asking you to stop this immediately.
13:37Can I ask you boldly right now?
13:39Was there any report that you all received, meaning the TTPS, that a minor was involved in this accident?
13:47Well, Ms. Husbands, I stood here Tuesday, God passed, and I read the facts based on an official TTPS release
13:54and nowhere within that, and I mentioned it after the release, was any minor mentioned.
14:00It mentioned the two boat captains and the ages of the boat captains, and both of them were above 30.
14:09So why people are not believing you all?
14:11Well, Ms. Husbands, I don't know what wonder why, but a lot of persons seem to have their own opinions
14:18about things
14:19and, you know, not until, and maybe some persons have to really, you know, rip the rewards.
14:27You say rip the rewards, yes.
14:28Of their actions, or really, really deal with the court, or should be called to face the consequences of their
14:36actions.
14:36Maybe it's only then that they would learn to not do things like these.
14:40I remember my commissioner said, leave it alone and allow the investigation to take its course.
14:48To be foretold is to be forewarned.
14:51Well, boy, it is one where persons are not believing, and they're running while out there, and they're using a
14:56minor's face.
14:57And, you know, race has a role to play in this now.
15:00So it is one where it is very sensitive, the emotions are high with the public,
15:04and we continue to see where they are hell-bent believing that that is the truth.
15:09But, as you said, if it continues, we will see who really is reaping the what? The gifts?
15:15The rewards.
15:15The rewards.
15:16Of their actions.
15:17Now, another incident that left many persons in total shock,
15:21which was the accident that took place in central Trinidad on Thursday.
15:26Now, according to the Trinidad Express with the report, the bikers died in fiery highway crash.
15:32Now, two motorcyclists were killed in a fiery collision on the Uriah Butler Highway near Brentwood Mall, Shaguanas,
15:39after, sorry, yesterday afternoon leaving a car gutted by fire and triggering massive traffic gridlock that lasted into the night.
15:50They were identified as Levi Joseph, who died at the scene,
15:54and Nicholas Bandu, who died while undergoing treatment at the Shaguanas Health Centre.
15:59Yesterday was reportedly Bandu's birthday, according to tributes posted by friends on social media.
16:06Footage of the collision has since emerged online showing the moments leading up to the crash.
16:12The video shows traffic backed up along the southbound carriageway with a Toyota sedan coming to a standstill in the
16:20right lane because of vehicles ahead.
16:23One of the motorcycles then slams into the rear of the car at high speed, triggering a fire that engulfed
16:31the motorcycle and the sedan,
16:33which was subsequently gutted as the motorcycle struck the car.
16:37Its driver was flung along the highway.
16:40The second rider also crashed with his motorcycle, ended up in the bushes off the highway.
16:47The rider suffered fatal injuries as he tumbled along the shoulder.
16:51In moments before the fire spread, the female driver was seen escaping the vehicle, moving to the back seat and
16:59removing a child.
17:00A police vehicle also arrived at the scene shortly after.
17:04Superintendent, this is just so sad.
17:06So sad.
17:08So sad.
17:08So sad, Ms. Husbands.
17:10You know, let me just read again.
17:13Media release.
17:14The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service urges road safety following fatal highway collusion.
17:19The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service, we are indeed saddened by the tragedy which occurred along the southbound lane of
17:26the Sir Solomon Hoechoy Highway yesterday afternoon in the vicinity of Brentwood Mall.
17:31The collusion which involved two motorcyclists came the lives of two young men.
17:36At approximately 3.45 p.m. yesterday, officers of the Highway Patrol responded to a road traffic collusion involving two
17:45motorcyclists.
17:45One motorcyclist collided with the rear of the white Toyota Axios, as Ms. Husbands stated, resulting in a secondary collision
17:52involving the second cyclist.
17:55The impact caused the vehicle to catch fire.
17:57Police can confirm that, yes indeed, a 25-year-old male of Trin City died at the scene after his
18:04motorcycle collided with the rear of the white Axios.
18:08The other motorcyclists involved the 35-year-old male of Santa Rosa Arima, lost control after colliding with debris and
18:17wreckage from the initial collision.
18:18He sustained serious injuries and subsequently died at the Chaguanas Health facility.
18:23The female driver of the white Axios was able to remove herself from the vehicle before it became fully engulfed
18:30in flames.
18:31The TTPS wishes to extend our sincere condolences to the families.
18:35And I want to just say to persons, right, according to information from the Traffic and Highway Patrol Branch Roadway
18:40Surveillance Unit,
18:429 motorcyclists have been killing road traffic collisions in 2026 compared to 7 for the same period last year representing
18:51a 28% increase.
18:53Additionally, 40 motorcyclists lost their lives in crashes over the past 5 years.
19:01We want to remind persons, road shoulders are often kept clear in these situations to allow for quick movement of
19:10responding emergency vehicles.
19:12Patience is important as priority is always given to the care of victims and the safety of first responders.
19:19And, you know, we really saw the negative comments on social media regarding the traffic congestion from the crash.
19:27And we remind the public that these fatal road accidents can trigger all sorts of issues following.
19:34Legal investigative procedures must take place. There's a process to follow.
19:39The DMO must come. Measurements must be taken because it is a fatal accident.
19:43We must call the CSI as well to take pictures. So it's not easy as just let them clear the
19:49road quick.
19:50We must capture the scene in its original form so that a proper investigation can be done.
19:56The DMO must come to check the bodies for signs of life.
20:01Yes. Now with that that you just mentioned here, viewer discretion is advised and this was the accident that occurred
20:08in the Brentwood area in central Trinidad.
20:18So the far left superintendent on the screen and the speed they were going at.
20:31Yeah. And usually at this time superintendent, we know this time it is not a free highway.
20:39A lot of cars are on the road on that specific highway in particular.
20:44Again, condolences to the family.
20:47It is sad to see, especially one of them celebrating a birthday.
20:53A birthday. Yeah.
20:54Ms. Husbands, I want to really, having been a fast biker myself, I want to really take this opportunity.
21:00Not just to express condolences, but to warn bike men.
21:05Ms. Husbands, the speed that a bike has is an exhilarating amount of speed.
21:10It's the quickest acceleration as compared probably to a Formula One vehicle.
21:15And the zero to 60 times are fast.
21:18And I'm saying to the person that tends to create that thrill.
21:21And you know the commercial that said, forget the thrill.
21:24Speed kills.
21:25Yes.
21:25That's one of our PSAs that we do.
21:27And I want to ask persons to remember this.
21:29Ms. Husbands, I too, having had a GSX-R04-1000, a very deadly bike, had my days of riding.
21:37And I'm happy that I'm wiser now.
21:40And I'm asking persons, please remember you're on a motorcycle.
21:46Yeah.
21:46Due care and attention.
21:48You have no fenders around you, so you have to be even more careful.
21:53And usually...
21:53Take your time.
21:54I understand.
21:55When you ring that throttle, trust me, I know from experience of class 1, 3, and 4.
22:00Ms. Husbands, when you ring that throttle, it's nice.
22:05Yeah.
22:06But is it really worth your life?
22:09Is it worth your life, bikers?
22:12Please, take your time.
22:13Motorists, look out for the bikers.
22:15For real.
22:16That's the next thing, too.
22:17Bikers, ride properly in and out of traffic.
22:20The motorists who's on their phone, or who forget to look and just change the lane, could
22:26see you're having a collision as well.

26:37And we continue the conversations.
26:39As we said, we have to dissect so many things today, as it being Friday.
26:43But could you give us an update of what's going on in the Maloney area, which is District 2, with
26:47the closed area?
26:48Of course.
26:48And you know, the TTPS, you know, we always want to be transparent and open.
26:52So this is where we're at and our successes thus far.
26:57Trinidad and Tobago Police Service special operations update in the Maloney housing development.
27:02The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service, supported by the Trinidad and Tobago Defense Force,
27:08continue to conduct coordinated operations within the closed area of the Maloney building's housing development,
27:14as part of ongoing special operations in District 2, Northern Division.
27:19Over the period from November 10th to November 12th, 2026,
27:25law enforcement personnel executed a series of intelligence initiatives aimed at enhancing public safety,
27:33disrupting criminal activity, and fostering community engagement within the designated area.
27:38Five search operations were conducted across 329 apartments in 10 buildings overnight,
27:46whilst canine-assisted searches resulted in the discovery of several packets of marijuana.
27:53Additionally, 181 curfew permits were issued to residents and authorized persons requiring access to the designated area.
28:01The closed area remains secured,
28:04while officers continue to monitor and control all entry and exit points.
28:11Members of the TTDF, the Interagency Task Force, Garden Emergency Branch,
28:17are also conducting reassurance patrols across the operational sectors within the area.
28:23In closing, the TTPS remains committed to restoring public trust and confidence,
28:29reducing criminal activity,
28:31and ensuring the safety and security of all residents.
28:35Further updates will be provided as ongoing operations are completed and final figures are confirmed.
28:41Ms. Osment.
28:42All right, so with that being said, according to the Daily Express here,
28:46where police identified 40 in Maloney gang war.
28:49And this is clearly serious, what we are seeing here,
28:52from what I read, and I'm sure persons who are also reading it as well.
28:55So according to what we have here, the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service has identified at least 40 suspected gang
29:02members,
29:03associates, and persons of interest in Maloney amid escalating tensions among rival criminal organizations
29:11battling for control of residential buildings in the community.
29:16Now, several apartment buildings in Maloney Gardens are effectively under the control of criminal gangs
29:22with rival factions exercising territorial influence over residential blocks
29:28and engaging in violent confrontations to maintain or expand their dominance.
29:34Now, sources told the Express, according to what they're seeing here,
29:39the situation had become a volatile one that law enforcement authorities identified
29:45a significant risk of further shootings, murders, and retaliatory acts or attacks,
29:52making immediate security intervention necessary to protect residents and restore public order.
30:00According to police information, at least four principal gang groups are involved in the territorial conflict.
30:09The Eight Gang, Seven Gang, Killed Them All, KTA Gang, and Oxley's Gang.
30:18The Eight Gang has also experienced an internal split, creating additional factions
30:24and further complicating the security situation.
30:30Killed them all?
30:33Killed them?
30:34Yeah, I heard it.
30:36I heard it.
30:36And, you know, the TTPS, we are the primary agency for safety and security.

34:24and we are back in my make you give us a call at 623-1711 extension 1996 or 1997 we
34:31have acting super
34:31superintendent here with us we head to the phone lines we have a caller caller good
34:35evening hi good night um with me hi good evening how are you good evening
34:43and we have a caller caller miss as well i see that you know what you have a
34:46opportunity or something you have to go there
34:49say that again caller
34:51what is that anyway the main point um i i recall some time in um previous
35:01commissioners ago that there were some marine based um i don't know what i call it but some
35:08to be around the islands and so forth at least to protect the people and so forth whatever has
35:15become of this that unit please the marine unit for the ttps that's it sir all right that's it
35:24yes we have the marine unit the video today was actually showing the the white boat oh that was
35:32the police um right in there on that that is the marine unit operating out there as well um i
35:40know
35:41we have some that is it there because if you look at the screen you would see that is one
35:46of our
35:46vessels there um it don't it's not equipped to go too far yes yes out you know that's why we
35:52have the
35:52coast but we do have our vessels vessel or vessels vessels we i know they had about two or three
35:59i
35:59know someday going through some maintenance and service one of the things you see because um
36:03in the ttps one of the challenges we face because you're not a revenue generating organization even
36:09though something when we give tickets the money goes does it doesn't um upkeep is something that
36:15we need to improve to really factor in the operational excellence and to increase our efficiency we really
36:22need to have the the proper uh finances to keep everything working and everything serviced as it
36:28ought to be so that we could get maximum use of our physical resources but i think they should use
36:33a percentage of that money to assist with what you all need when it comes to your issuing tickets
36:38it's not a joke like i'm i'm serious because it seems like you'll need a lot of nice because it
36:42sounds great yeah no you all need a lot of help with regards to technology maintenance all these things
36:48so anything that could assist the ttps especially with the officers who continue to work hard i do think
36:54it's fear that you'll have to take money out of your pocket just to have pens and books to write
36:58things a letter not too much okay we have a call caller good evening thank you caller hello good evening
37:08hi caller i think yeah hi take off your volume on your on your phone i mean sorry on your
37:15television set
37:16please so we can hear you yes all right go ahead mom hi um i remember when i had done
37:28my um when i had
37:30gotten my driver's permit part of the regulation has said that whenever you hear a siren you pull to
37:39the side you pull to the left and stop i don't know if that has been revised if it has
37:44if it has changed
37:46but my observation is that drivers generally speaking have no respect for sirens the sirens are coming
37:54you hear it blaring and they just continue driving crossing the street whatever regardless of the
38:01traffic signals or what and i want to know what is being done to enforce that if it is a
38:08law to be
38:09enforced and if and and if it is and if there is or isn't a penalty for not pulling to
38:15the left and
38:16stopping because in light of the accident that happened that i saw i think about earlier on this week
38:22with this police vehicle and another vehicle i don't know if there was a siren on or what but i
38:28find
38:29generally speaking especially on the bus route those maxi taxis have absolutely no respect for sirens
38:36all right that's my contribution thank you yes thank you miss husband scholar i hear you
38:44and i agree with you and i understand the regulations um i know miss husbands is going to be looking
38:51at me and
38:52i'm going to say something because i want to be balanced on this program and i want to be honest
38:56to you i know with respect to the sirens and i want to encourage persons once you hear the siren
39:03please pull over and allow the persons to pass the emergency vehicles i have a friend who continuously
39:10say to me miss jackie i'll keep it tight every week day on rising road there's a vehicle that passes
39:16with siren on she says she don't know what is the emergency every day monday to friday at the same
39:23time
39:23she have her opinions as to what it is and then there was the incident recently where we the ttps
39:30would
39:30have contributed to where somebody delivered food sirens and lights on so a lot of the put the drivers
39:35have the opinion well they're not doing anything constructive or they're going to do their own
39:39business and i want to say to the drivers whether regardless to your opinion you have to obey the law
39:47because the one time that it might be your family they're going to attend to all your family in the
39:52ambulance you would hope that somebody pull over so regardless to your opinion and all that happened
39:57in the past i'm asking you to obey the laws and when they hear the siren please pull over totally
40:02agree with that totally even according to what you said regardless how i feel it doesn't really matter
40:07you need to pull let them go on your quarrel in the car but let them go their way yes
40:12now remember
40:12before we went to the break i said i wanted to mention something now as maloney continues to be in
40:17the spotlight and persons who don't live in the community itself may not understand what is taking
40:23place they may disagree they believe that yes the majority of people who are living there are
40:27low-abiding citizens which i agree as well hard-working people but there was something i saw
40:31on social media with errol fabian and this was i mean years ago 1988 to be exact and he was
40:41in that
40:41set community and engaging conversations with young people some of them may be parents grandparents now
40:48right and the thing is it is clear that something with regards to in that set community is one that
40:57has
40:57been birthed to almost keep persons in that mental space of oppression i'll have to say it like that
41:06because it is almost like when you look at it since 1988 that you are hearing almost the same cries
41:13the same
41:13concerns and from the same um you know persons that we witness today and and and and they're not getting
41:20exposure to
41:21certain things it is sad so is it not what we are witnessing before our eyes is that persons in
41:28the
41:28community really need the assistance to get rid of that old plague of whatever was planted there that
41:35continues to pass on to generations after generation myself once i want to ask you what were some of the
41:41complaints that you heard i mean i saw the the the thing came up i didn't i didn't clip on
41:46it what what do you
41:47do on a daily nothing they spoke about drug use and who's selling drugs and that does not mean everybody
41:54in the said communities like that but then the ones who want to speak up and let persons know like
42:00you
42:00know we need to fix this we need we are having issues it is clear that it's something that they
42:05have been
42:05dealing with for a while since 1988 well i would tell you something when you look at community engagement
42:11because and we have the police youth club and stuff like that you are the parent have to take stock
42:15of your
42:15home and your children yeah but if the environment is one that is what has been passed on miss husbands
42:24i came from dan kelly i was surrounded by weed pushers but deanne russell never used to make joke i
42:32too
42:33take my little small pool and i thank the neighbor during that yes true confession i thank the neighbor
42:39who said to my mother when you're not that your son does do xyz hence the reason it takes a
42:43village to
42:44raise a child they can i get and never engage in that again you understand what i'm saying parents
42:50it starts with parenting and you once and you have to hold on to your children are they really
42:56grandmother that again involved uncle that again for because you see we're saying that we want
43:00opportunities but you must qualify yourself and certify yourself even if you decide to be a welder you
43:06had to take a welding course and if you want to go to first world status diploma you have to
43:11be certified
43:12well no they have to be certified the mechanic have to be certified but if you're not looking at
43:16education and school seriously then how would you get certified because everybody want the nice cushy jobs
43:23when you have an organization and somebody comes before you with a master's degree are you going to
43:27pick and with some experience are you going to pick the person with five levels no and it is competitive
43:33and persons are to realize we have to get up and get and do just sit down and expect the
43:38government
43:39their programs i remember police tell me i've seen your policy end up on a program to drive excavators
43:44because none of the youths wanted to take the programs there are programs out there i not i not
43:50say no i know we have to go to break we will continue this yeah no jackie sorry let's we
43:55have a
43:56caller before we head to that break caller we do apologize good evening yes good evening sir yes
44:03um yesterday i'm here at psp um psp russell um well i won't be living in the modeling area but
44:17i just
44:18want to i'll stop our subject for corruption because uh what he said that if you're leaving the
44:26lockdown area you must have your coffee or your format or your id or something like that but
44:33if these people get locked down there i want to know where they're going to get copier the id or
44:39so
44:39because i can't see they have it inside the room or something and i won't question and number two
44:47he said that you can leave it with your vehicle um a subject for correction the vehicle must be on
44:56your name
44:56because i have my vehicle and my standard user to um go to work so just in case on my
45:02side get locked
45:03down i want to just clarify that you know okay so even my people have the insurance not in this
45:12name
45:12but yeah driver's permit yeah that's how i say yes so that's it i want to just um want to
45:21make sure if
45:21your driving vehicle if it must be or the driver's name yeah thank you all right so that wasn't what
45:29that was indeed said called a registration number of the vehicle you must show that the vehicle must
45:34be registered in your name because if you are asking for a pass to use this particular vehicle
45:39you would want to know that is registered in your name but in a situation where your son may have
45:44to
45:44use the vehicle you could do an authorization letter you could type up something and the police would
45:49also exercise this question listen uh this is an emergency or something happened my dad tell me use
45:54his car um this is his contact number you could call him to verify that he loaned his son his
45:59vehicle
45:59etc um for the passes and otherwise and if you know your other person that would use the car you
46:04could also
46:05put their name on it who would require to use the car of course their job information their job details
46:10and the timing that you will be allowing them to use your vehicle and i'm saying i heard you saying
46:17that if it's in the night but your coffee is not throughout so if you know what i'm advising person
46:22is that if you know you need a pass for tomorrow night don't wait till tomorrow night because the
46:26coffee is until five they are sitting between 3 p.m to 5 p.m to deal with the permits
46:32so if you know you
46:33have to go somewhere then we i i know we would want you during the day when there's no curfew
46:38to get your copies and get all the documents together so that you can drop it off by the
46:42station at this point it's best your walk yes um quickly how long is the permit valid no but because
46:49i mean that is crazy all of that just my son my daughter my wife that is that is like
46:59i mean i
46:59write authorization let's i get out with the the identification of the individual who's using the
47:04vehicle i'll find out how long the permit is for because i'm and i'm saying
47:13from how i see it you're not required to get up if you're a resident and you know you have
47:17to go to
47:17work we don't i don't think they would expect me to come every day to get up coming to go

50:06my honest opinion um it's to me it is too much we have a caller caller good evening
50:13hello it's good evening caller hi good evening caller yeah good afternoon you can go ahead sir
50:20let's go ahead yeah something i don't understand let's just say your child are custom driving your vehicle
50:31and their name is not let us say only here is that legal or illegal this is only one other
50:42sign up because
50:42the only thing that's going to take care of the maloney is that i don't understand that you have to
50:48show
50:49something each time that you have to leave or enter maloney right and i'm saying to you caller i'm saying
51:01to
51:02you if your son because your son for your son to be even be outside in the first place he
51:07or she must apply
51:09for a permit and if he has intentions of using your vehicle i'll be using my dad vehicle this is
51:15an
51:15authorization for my dad for him to you for me to use his vehicle he could also have that accompanied
51:21to his application for the permit because the vehicle could only be outside once there's a driver
51:27with a permit and if there's an emergency and for some reason do your his vehicle is not working and
51:33he
51:33has to use yours then and but he has his permit of course there's an officer this is my dad's
51:38car
51:38my car shut down the officers will exercise some level of discretion once he has no i'm saying in
51:45the case of emergency where you have to use the other vehicle that i'm saying it's no and i'm saying
51:50the officers will exercise some level of discretion just explain to the officer what happened but if
51:54you know all right on the days when are the week that are working nights i just use daddy car
51:59when you
52:00are applying for a permit have dad give you an authorization letter and the proof of ownership
52:05and attach it to your permit so that they could see that john brown has permission to drive jim wrong
52:11which is his dad's vehicle we have another call caller good evening hello oh yes good evening sir so
52:23now listen to this now it's a good thing what you say in there about the driver and owner and
52:29all
52:30supposed to be using that vehicle now if your vehicle is stolen mr russell and this is important
52:37if your vehicle is stolen from your president because he drives the owner sleeping steady he doesn't know his
52:45vehicle is stolen there's a roadblock down the road there your vehicle going through that roadblock now the
52:50guy could show the vehicle doesn't have a clue what to do he's going to get caught because he cannot
52:56account for that because it's a good thing that owner could be on a certified copy and and all who
53:04and time to drive that because what's it on the insurance is simple because your vehicle has told
53:09you you're going to get back in that way of course of course and i understand you're saying and and
53:15i said he bought a different dimension if you get caught in a roadblock and the vehicle is stolen you
53:19wouldn't know and the benefit that the person cannot explain how the commentable session of the vehicle
53:24and there's nothing on the documents linking him and i'm saying authorization letter from the from your
53:28dad whose name is on the insurance all right this is my dad's vehicle this is certified copy this is
53:33the insurance this is him giving me the authorization letter this is my id card so you could see all
53:38right
53:38yes there is a connection and the officer would definitely use their discretion let me ask you this
53:43person who may work shift and they get an overtime call how are you going to do that when i
53:50already
53:51gave you the documents showing from my employer that i work shift and the times may differ or it may
53:58change but then i get an opportunity to do an overtime job how am i going to go and it
54:02tells you here
54:03clearly your hours of employment your name of your employer the location of your place of employment
54:10conditions of employment that may require you to you to move during the curfew for example whether
54:15you work shifts shift patterns and any expected changes to your shift so even say if you get a call
54:22out you can go to the micro units so i am a nurse we are short then now call more
54:29to work at pool
54:30this is the position it may be outside of the three to five period for you to acquire um a
54:36permit but
54:37the officers are right show me your nursing id where you're going what medical personnel police
54:42officers who live in in maloney all of these people who do service for trinidad and tobigo
54:47they will need a permit once you live in maloney in that block right and let me tell you yes
54:52and i'll
54:52tell you this the people who listen the only no it didn't lose than kovid missiles because you
54:58research that could move listen to what i'm saying right so under 21 of 2026 which is the the bill
55:05the
55:06act police officers and members of the defense force are exempted on their way to and from work
55:18so but they still have outside of that they themselves yes the outside of that they themselves will have to
55:24get a permit but they were any police officers on the way to work yeah miss husband this is not
55:32a mickey
55:32mouse i am not saying it's a mickey mouse but it's police officers and members of the train and to
55:37be with defense force it's during the act you are exempted on your way to work and on the way
55:43from work
55:45it's in the act and the medical personnel as well of course we'd exercise some discretion
55:51miss husbands the act wouldn't say everybody it it it says it needs to be clear because remember
55:56miss husbands the commissioner said that some the officers are not unreasonable they will
56:02exercise some level of discretion now let me say this the reason why i'm bringing this up remember
56:07the open door policy not all the officers understand that so hence the reason why i'm saying it needs to
56:14be
56:15very clear and the persons who are working in that said district needs to be clear also with the
56:21husbands the persons in that district that working in the district they are trained and was so briefed
56:31before this we've never be trained them that's why we trained them let me just let me just
56:36listen listen listen listen and tobago you could close off persons um section 12-1 persons exempted
56:4512-1 subsection 2 e a police officer or a member of the defense force when on duty or proceeding
56:54to
