Act­ing Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice, Ju­nior Ben­jamin, says the T&T Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) is proud to have ex­e­cut­ed its man­date with pre­ci­sion and pro­fes­sion­al­ism dur­ing the re­cent­ly con­clud­ed Gen­er­al Elec­tions. In a state­ment on Tues­day af­ter­noon, Ben­jamin said, "I am pleased to re­port that the elec­tion process was con­duct­ed in a peace­ful, safe, and or­der­ly man­ner, al­low­ing the peo­ple of Trinidad and To­ba­go to ex­er­cise their de­mo­c­ra­t­ic rights with­out fear or dis­rup­tion."

He com­mend­ed both cit­i­zens and Act­ing Deputy Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice (Op­er­a­tions), Curt Si­mon, who served as the Gold Com­man­der for the Gen­er­al Elec­tions. He said of Si­mon, "His calm com­mand and op­er­a­tional clar­i­ty en­sured that all se­cu­ri­ty mea­sures were im­ple­ment­ed ef­fi­cient­ly." Ben­jamin al­so praised Deputy Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice (In­tel­li­gence and In­ves­ti­ga­tions), Suzette Mar­tin.

Ben­jamin said the elec­tion fol­lowed months of in­tense na­tion­al du­ty for the TTPS—be­gin­ning with the im­po­si­tion of the State of Emer­gency on De­cem­ber 30th, 2024, through the Car­ni­val 2025 cel­e­bra­tions, and in­to the in­tense po­lit­i­cal cam­paign sea­son.

He fur­ther com­mend­ed all First and Sec­ond Di­vi­sion of­fi­cers "who have stood firm, worked long hours, and shown ex­tra­or­di­nary

ded­i­ca­tion to ser­vice."

Ben­jamin said, "Your ef­forts have not gone un­no­ticed. You are the back­bone of law and or­der in this coun­try, and I am proud to lead such a ca­pa­ble and com­mit­ted team."

During my consultation with Ms Brafit CEO Nicole Joseph-Chin, what was supposed to be a simple mastectomy bra fitting became something much deeper. Her thoughtful questions unlocked emotions I didn’t even realise I was holding in. She comforted, reassured, and helped me face the truth of what was coming. That bra wasn’t just clothing—it was the first real symbol of life after surgery.
