Vow­ing to en­sure their lat­est ve­hi­cle ac­qui­si­tions will not be al­lowed to fall in­to rack and ru­in as in the past, act­ing Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice (CoP), Ju­nior Ben­jamin has as­sured a com­pre­hen­sive sys­tem for the main­te­nance and up­keep of 67 new RAV 4 ve­hi­cles for the T&T Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) will be im­ple­ment­ed.

Ex­tend­ing this as­sur­ance yes­ter­day dur­ing a hand­ing over cer­e­mo­ny at the Po­lice Acad­e­my, St James, dur­ing which time the 52 marked and 15 un­marked po­lice ve­hi­cles were dri­ven across the pa­rade square, he said, “At least every di­vi­sion will have at least three new ve­hi­cles.”

Con­firm­ing To­ba­go will al­so share in the lat­est bag of good­ies ac­quired by the TTPS at a cost of just un­der $23 mil­lion, Ben­jamin said some of the ve­hi­cles would be as­signed to the Emer­gency Re­sponse Pa­trol (ERP) Unit to help in the re­sponse time to crime.”
