Po­lice have con­firmed a per­sis­tent is­sue af­fect­ing the pro­cess­ing of Cer­tifi­cates of Char­ac­ter (CoC), par­tic­u­lar­ly at the San­gre Grande Po­lice Sta­tion, where the ma­chine used for print­ing the cer­tifi­cates has been out of ser­vice for an ex­tend­ed pe­ri­od.

As a re­sult, of­fi­cers must trans­port com­plet­ed forms man­u­al­ly to Ari­ma or Port of Spain sta­tions for pro­cess­ing, lead­ing to long de­lays.
