Cpl Nyron Allen died from COVID on Thursday.

Mem­bers of the T&T Po­lice Ser­vice are mourn­ing the loss of two of their col­leagues who both suc­cumbed to COVID-19.

Yes­ter­day morn­ing, Cor­po­ral Ny­ron Allen, who was as­signed to the Trinidad and To­ba­go Mu­nic­i­pal Po­lice Ser­vice (TTMPS) passed away at the St James Med­ical Com­plex.

He had test­ed pos­i­tive for COVID-19 on Oc­to­ber 11.

He was last as­signed to the Port-of-Spain City Po­lice Ser­vice (PCPS) and en­list­ed in­to the ser­vice in Ju­ly 2008.

He leaves to mourn a ten-year-old daugh­ter.

Deputy Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice Mc­Don­ald Ja­cob and the ex­ec­u­tive of the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) ex­tend­ed con­do­lences to the fam­i­ly, friends and col­leagues of Allen.

Ac­cord­ing to a re­lease is­sued by the TTPS, Su­per­in­ten­dent Glen Charles, of the PCPS, said Cpl Allen was a bright and up­com­ing mem­ber of the ser­vice with a con­sid­er­able amount of po­ten­tial.

Charles said Allen dis­played a pas­sion for up­ward mo­bil­i­ty of the Ser­vice and him­self.

Supt Charles added that Allen was a very dis­ci­plined of­fi­cer who spoke his mind and al­ways made a pos­i­tive con­tri­bu­tion, adding he was sad­dened by his death and that he would be missed was to the Ser­vice.

“Cpl Allen, fond­ly called ‘Top­py’, will be re­mem­bered for his fun-lov­ing spir­it, his mo­ti­va­tion to­wards his fel­low of­fi­cers and that he would give any­thing in the world to en­sure his daugh­ter’s hap­pi­ness,” the re­lease said.

Ear­li­er this week, WPC Rhon­da Jenise Mar­tin died af­ter she was found un­re­spon­sive at her home last Sat­ur­day.

The TTPS said Mar­tin, 43, was re­mem­bered as a “very soft-spo­ken in­di­vid­ual who loved smil­ing and al­ways ex­ud­ed a jovial spir­it while at the work­place. She was al­ways ea­ger and will­ing to as­sist any­one, nev­er fail­ing to cheer up those whom she en­coun­tered.”

Mar­tin was last as­signed to the Of­fice of the As­sis­tant Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice (ACP), North East, per­form­ing cler­i­cal du­ties.
