Main Points
Earlier today, an incident took place at the San Fernando City Corporation Municipal Police station on Kings Wharf. It has since been clarified that this was not an external attack on the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) or the National State security services. Instead, it was an act of internal betrayal perpetrated against the Trinidad and Tobago Municipal Police Service (TTMPS) attached to the San Fernando City Corporation. TTPS officers were not involved in this incident. The Ministry of Homeland Security and the TTPS have pledged their full support to the TTMPS, San Fernando Mayor Robert Parris, and the San Fernando City Corporation in order to investigate this matter fully and recover the stolen items. In a separate incident, bodies discovered at the Cumuto Cemetery were initially suspected to be victims of homicide. This has been debunked as the bodies were identified as unclaimed and improperly disposed of. This matter is also under investigation. Despite these incidents, there is no need for any curfew. Law enforcement is making continual progress in addressing a crime crisis that has spanned over two decades. The public is encouraged to continue with their lawful activities as usual. Commissioner of Police (CoP) Guevarro and his TTPS officers have responded swiftly to both incidents.
