Head of the Real Police For Police party, Sgt Zane Bain, says there is an urgent need to restore interest among members of the TTPS Social Welfare Association (TTPSSWA), expressing disappointment over what he described as a “low turnout” for the association’s elections on Monday.
Speaking with Guardian Media on Tuesday, Bain, who contested the post of association president, said the TTPSWA’s elections have in recent years struggled to attract more than 1,500 voters, despite a membership of approximately 6,000 officers.
He said throughout his campaign, he and other officers had stressed the importance of voting and initiating change to improve their quality of representation. However, he believes more must be done to rekindle members’ engagement.
