Prime Minister Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar attended a vehicle handover ceremony alongside Deputy Commissioner of Police Junior Benjamin and members of the TTPS on Friday.

The event marked the delivery of ten newly-repaired police vehicles, representing the first instalment of a batch of 50 scheduled to be restored and returned to service before Christmas.

A press release said that on assuming office in April, Government discovered that almost 500 TTPS vehicles were parked across various locations throughout Trinidad – some for months, others for years – due to minor mechanical issues such as tyres, brakes, and other small repairs.
