The po­lice ser­vice is once again mourn­ing the death of an­oth­er po­lice of­fi­cer, who suc­cumbed to COVID-19.

The TTPS yes­ter­day con­firmed the death of Su­per­in­ten­dent of Po­lice (Ag) Anil Man­nick, who died on Wednes­day.

In a state­ment, 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.

Man­nick, 48, who was last as­signed to the Cen­tral Di­vi­sion, passed away at 6.25 pm on June 9 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 had some 30 years of 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, adding, “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.”

Oth­er po­lice of­fi­cers who worked with In­spec­tor Man­nick took to so­cial me­dia where they ex­pressed their shock over his death and paid to trib­ute to him.
