The Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) paid trib­ute to As­sis­tant Su­per­in­ten­dent of Po­lice (Ag.) Anil Man­nick, who suc­cumbed to ill­ness on Wednes­day. Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice, Gary Grif­fith, and the Ex­ec­u­tive of the TTPS, ex­pressed their sin­cer­est con­do­lences to the fam­i­ly, friends, and col­leagues for the loss of their fall­en col­league.

In­sp Man­nick, 48, who was last as­signed to the Cen­tral Di­vi­sion, passed away at 6.25 pm on June 9th at the Cou­va Hos­pi­tal and Mul­ti-Train­ing Fa­cil­i­ty while un­der­go­ing treat­ment.
Man­nick last act­ed as the As­sis­tant Su­per­in­ten­dent of Po­lice, and spent sev­er­al years at the Court and Process Branch. He gave about 30 years’ ser­vice to the TTPS.
He leaves to mourn a wife and son.

As­sis­tant Su­per­in­ten­dent of Po­lice, Ramb­hani Dipc­hand, who worked close­ly with Man­nick, de­scribed him as “an of­fi­cer who al­ways had a smile on his face.
“He was one of the very liked se­nior of­fi­cers at the Cen­tral Di­vi­sion and was such a hum­ble and ded­i­cat­ed po­lice of­fi­cer,” Dipc­hand said.
He added, “If you ask any­one with­in the Di­vi­sion, no one would have any­thing bad to say about him.”

As­sis­tant Su­per­in­ten­dent of Po­lice, Michael Pierre, echoed these sen­ti­ments, say­ing, “Man­nick was a gen­tle gi­ant. Al­though he didn’t say much, when­ev­er he spoke, he said some­thing im­por­tant. What was note­wor­thy about him was that he spent at least ten hours at work per day. I will al­ways re­mem­ber him
as be­ing so­lu­tion-ori­ent­ed.” Col­leagues who took to so­cial me­dia ex­pressed deep­est con­do­lences to the be­reaved fam­i­ly.
Man­nick is the 6th Po­lice of­fi­cer to have died from Covid-19.
