With four days left to go before the State of Emergency (SoE) ends on April 13, senior police officials are working diligently to finalise charges to be brought against some people who have been detained. These charges could be laid on or before the end of this week.
Confirming this during a media briefing at the Police Administration Building, Port-of-Spain, yesterday, acting Deputy Commissioner of Police, Operations, Curt Simon, explained while some of the 50 detainees would be released when it expires on Sunday, this would not prevent investigators from laying charges later on.
Senior members of the T&T Police Service (TTPS) met on Monday to discuss how they would address turning intelligence-driven data into actionable offences. The group of 50 that were detained under a Preventive Detention Order (PDO) remain incarcerated at the Eastern Correctional Rehabilitation Centre (ECRC), Santa Rosa, Arima.
