The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) confirmed on Monday that a malfunction in their fire suppression system at the Police Administration Building resulted in substantial destruction to several secured records, including Firearm Users Licence (FUL) files. The incident, which occurred around 12:45 pm on the sixth floor, followed a series of power outages and fire alarm activations across multiple levels. Instead of protecting critical records in case of a fire, the system caused flooding due to a ruptured waterline.
