With two weeks to go be­fore the Gen­er­al Elec­tion on April 28, the T&T Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) is urg­ing all po­lit­i­cal can­di­dates and sup­port­ers to op­er­ate with­in the pa­ra­me­ters of the law or face the con­se­quences.

Speak­ing dur­ing a me­dia brief­ing at the Po­lice Ad­min­is­tra­tion Build­ing, Port-of-Spain yes­ter­day, act­ing DCP, Op­er­a­tions, Curt Si­mon as­sured the se­cu­ri­ty ap­pa­ra­tus was al­ready in place.

He con­firmed they had met with all cam­paign man­agers to re­view and en­force the reg­u­la­tions.

Si­mon said peo­ple had been re­mind­ed to demon­strate re­spect, act dig­ni­fied, and utilise pi­cong as it was meant.

Mean­while, he urged peo­ple to en­sure they ap­plied ear­ly for the prop­er per­mits for all mu­sic trucks, as those who were late could face dis­ap­point­ment.

He im­plored, “If you ap­ply late, you may not be suc­cess­ful in get­ting the nec­es­sary doc­u­ments from Li­cens­ing Of­fice and hence, the po­lice may have to refuse your trucks from be­ing on the road.”

He did, how­ev­er, claim the elec­tion­eer­ing pe­ri­od had been “peace­ful” so far.

Si­mon ad­vised cit­i­zens to feel safe to move around as the East­er hol­i­day ap­proach­es as se­cu­ri­ty forces were al­ready in place to en­sure law and or­der was main­tained.
