The Po­lice Ser­vice has been plunged in­to mourn­ing fol­low­ing the death of yet an­oth­er of­fi­cer to COVID-19 dis­ease.

Woman Po­lice Con­sta­ble (WPC) Anisa Fali­na Khan died at 3:30 pm yes­ter­day at the Cou­va Med­ical and Mul­ti-Train­ing Fa­cil­i­ty.  She had been bat­tling COVID-19 for the last ten days.

She be­came the 14th Po­lice Of­fi­cer to die from the dis­ease since the pan­dem­ic en­tered this coun­try last year.

In an of­fi­cial state­ment, the Po­lice Ser­vice ex­pressed con­do­lences over the loss of WPC Khan.

“Ag Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice, Mc­Don­ald Ja­cob, and the ex­ec­u­tive of the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) are ex­tend­ing con­do­lences to the fam­i­ly and col­leagues of No. 8498 Woman Po­lice Con­sta­ble (WPC) Anisa Fali­na Khan,” the TTPS state­ment read.

It added: “WPC Khan, 35, was last at­tached to the Cunu­pia Po­lice Sta­tion and ded­i­cat­ed eight years to the Po­lice Ser­vice.  Her col­leagues de­scribe her as de­ter­mined, will­ing, and al­ways help­ful. She con­tin­u­al­ly strived to do her best and was a per­son they could de­pend on for any­thing. She was lov­ing and car­ing both at home and at work.”

WPC Khan leaves to mourn her hus­band, Hem­raj Per­sad; her two sons Ar­jun, and new-born ba­by Ari­aan; her daugh­ter Avaana; her par­ents, Lat­iff and Ash­moon; her broth­er, Ren­nie; and her sis­ter, Ar­i­an­na.
