Acting Commissioner of Police (CoP) Junior Benjamin has read the "riot act" to his officers saying the TTPS, in collaboration with the Defence Force, will be enforcing a zero-tolerance approach to crime and disorder in the lead-up to the April 28 general election.

“Where there is any form of threat or intimidation, we urge the public to report it. We will handle it decisively. There will be a zero tolerance. We are ready to address any untoward situation,” Benjamin said.

The top cop spoke at a media briefing on April 22 at Police Administration Building in Port of Spain. He was accompanied by Deputy Commissioner Curt Simon, Chief of Defence Staff, Air Vice Marshal Darryl Daniel, and TTPS PRO Insp Michelle Lewis.
