Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Er­la Hare­wood-Christo­pher has hailed the re­cent­ly held To­b­gao Car­ni­val as safe and suc­cess­ful.

The fes­tiv­i­ties were held over this past week­end.

In a state­ment to­day Hare­wood-Christo­pher com­mend­ed her of­fi­cers.

” As Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice I would like to ex­tend my deep­est ap­pre­ci­a­tion to the of­fi­cers of the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) for their out­stand­ing polic­ing in sup­port of a safe and suc­cess­ful To­ba­go Car­ni­val 2024. The To­ba­go Car­ni­val 2024 ex­em­pli­fied the ded­i­ca­tion, team­work and pro­fes­sion­al­ism of of­fi­cers and was a true show­case of what can be achieved through col­lab­o­ra­tion, dili­gence, and a shared sense of re­spon­si­bil­i­ty,” she said.

She al­so thanked every­one in­volved in help­ing the TTPS achieve its mis­sion of giv­ing res­i­dents and vis­i­tors a mem­o­rable and safe To­ba­go Car­ni­val ex­pe­ri­ence.

” This sig­nif­i­cant achieve­ment would not have been pos­si­ble with­out the out­stand­ing lead­er­ship of DCP Suzette Mar­tin and the In­ci­dent Com­mand Team of ACP Col­lis Hazel, ACP Os­wain Subero, and Snr Supt Earl Elie. Their vi­sion, strate­gic plan­ning and as­tute ex­e­cu­tion of their plans were crit­i­cal el­e­ments of their suc­cess. The co­op­er­a­tion of the many of­fi­cers on the ground, pro­vid­ed the frame­work for an ef­fec­tive se­cu­ri­ty blan­ket, mak­ing it pos­si­ble for the over 8000 par­tic­i­pants to cel­e­brate safe­ly,” she said.

Of­fi­cers from var­i­ous Di­vi­sions, Branch­es, and Sec­tions from Trinidad sup­ple­ment­ed and sup­port­ed their col­leagues on the is­land to de­liv­er on this key ob­jec­tive.

The Top Cop said this col­lec­tive ef­fort fur­ther un­der­scores the TTPS’s on­go­ing com­mit­ment to pub­lic safe­ty.
