Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar says there is no need for a cur­few fol­low­ing the killing of a mu­nic­i­pal po­lice of­fi­cer at the San Fer­nan­do City Cor­po­ra­tion Mu­nic­i­pal Po­lice Sta­tion on King’s Wharf.

In a state­ment yes­ter­day, Per­sad-Bisses­sar said she had been ad­vised that the in­ci­dent at the sta­tion was not an ex­ter­nal at­tack on the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) or oth­er na­tion­al se­cu­ri­ty agen­cies. In­stead, she said it was an “in­ter­nal be­tray­al” with­in the Trinidad and To­ba­go Mu­nic­i­pal Po­lice Ser­vice (TTMPS).

She stressed that the TTPS is a sep­a­rate en­ti­ty from the TTMPS and said TTPS of­fi­cers were not in­volved in the in­ci­dent.
