If you all would recall, there has been two exercises with regard to the selection of Police officers and there is a constant plea that qualified individuals are not seeking employment in this field. This lie must end. I want to share the findings of an investigation I conducted. It was just by chance that I came upon these facts which I am about to relate. A few persons whom I know, young individuals who were looking for a job all applied and went through the recruitment process for TTPS. All the brave young men and women made sacrifices to attend all of the stages and were told that they had passed each one and would move on to the final stage selection. The final stage these individuals attended would be the agility held at the Police Barracks in St. James. They are now to wait for selection confident that the system would provide them an opportunity. To their surprise there is an advertisement for those individuals interested in joining the police service to attend well the various locations. The individuals decided to call the barracks to enquire as to the status of their applications. To their surprise not one of them got accepted and they were told to re-apply the reason being that they failed the agility test. When they mentioned they were told that they were successful, the female police corporal informed them ," well I just say you all fail" The COP keeps calling for qualified persons to apply all the persons to whom I make reference have at least five subjects and are currently pursing higher level education and are all of east Indian descent. I ask you all: Is this a coincidence? Could ethnic cleansing also be taking place in the Police service? Have we reached a stage in Trinidad and Tobago where every creed and race do not find an equal place? “There is something rank in the nation of Trinidad and Tobago”

The police is also a reflection of the society/community, sorry to say but by observation most citizens of TT are about themselves, without regard to those that they have to interact with, look at the average driver...courtesy is forgotten, crimes have no witnesses, children and elderly continue to be abuse, no one steps up? keep waiting for the gov't to do something...the gov't is you...and I I’m responding to your situation about five months after you posted it, anyway as I have come to realize and most if not all know it is that the police in TT do not serve the public, they generally serve themselves.

There are hundreds of Police Officers who are on our side and then there is the elite group who is "taken care" of by the party in power so they have nothing to be afraid of, they are ordered by the Prime Minister and his Ministers.

That is Mr. Brian Lalla, the ex-policeman who went missing without a single trace on February 12th, 2008. He has not yet been found. When we went on several searches for my uncle, we called for police accompaniment. Many times we did that . Every time we asked for their accompaniment, their reply was either they had no vehicles, or they were shrt staff. Is it that they had no vehicles because some of the officers who were on duty at that time took the police vehicles and went on their own errands, or even by the various bars? Is it that they were short staff because the officers who were on duty that day went on their own business or they were rum sick from the night before, seeing that all most police officers are good for is to consume alcohol? They were never there to lend their support to my family. Everything that we did, we did it ourselves and also with the kind and courteous assistance of Mr. Inshan Ishmael. I'm really fed up now. Sonething definitely has to be done. People who have not been affected by crime would not know how it feels. They would not find it necessary to stand up. But when it comes knocking on their doors, it's only then they would realize that they should have stood up. Just recently, my uncle went missing.
