Gold Com­man­der for Car­ni­val 2025, As­sis­tant Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice (ACP), Crime, Richard Smith, yes­ter­day added his voice to of­fi­cials say­ing this year’s cel­e­bra­tions had been one of the safest ever.

Dur­ing a me­dia brief­ing at the Po­lice Ad­min­is­tra­tion Build­ing, Port-of-Spain, he said, “Eight out of the ten di­vi­sions in T&T have re­port­ed no se­ri­ous in­ci­dents for Car­ni­val 2025.”

Com­mend­ing sec­tion heads and se­nior of­fi­cers of all law en­force­ment agen­cies for as­sist­ing in help­ing to make it safe – he pro­duced box­es filled with knives, icepicks, shanks, scis­sors, combs, and glass bot­tles, in­clud­ing liquor and per­fumes, that had been con­fis­cat­ed from peo­ple en­ter­ing the cap­i­tal city.
