Deputy Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice (DCP) Suzette Mar­tin said the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) has tak­en note of videos cir­cu­lat­ing on so­cial me­dia in which a serv­ing of­fi­cer made pub­lic state­ments that have drawn sig­nif­i­cant at­ten­tion.

She made it clear that the views and al­le­ga­tions ex­pressed in the videos are per­son­al and do not rep­re­sent the poli­cies, prin­ci­ples, or op­er­a­tional po­si­tions of the TTPS.

Ac­cord­ing to the state­ment, the of­fi­cer is known to be ex­pe­ri­enc­ing chal­lenges com­pound­ed by per­son­al grief, fol­low­ing the re­cent death of his moth­er.
