Stakeholders on police shake-up: New strategies needed to tackle crime in Tobago

STAKEHOLDERS on September 14 welcomed the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service’s decision to reassign to Trinidad the two most senior officers in the Tobago Division. They say although ACP Collis Hazel and Snr Supt Rodhill Kirk did their best in difficult circumstances to manage the island’s escalating crime situation, the nature of the scourge required a different, more aggressive approach. Tobago has to date recorded an unprecedented 22 murders for 2024. Hazel and Kirk, both of whom are from Tobago, were transferred to the Tactical Unit and Southern Division, respectively, as part of a promotion and reassignment exercise last week. They are...

Tobago top cops removed in shake-up

Acting Commissioner of Police Collis Hazel and Senior Supt Rodhill Kirk have been removed from their posts at the helm of the T&T Police Service’s Tobago Division. But while Hazel could not confirm the news yesterday, Kirk did, saying he had given crime-fighting efforts on the island his best try. In a phone interview, Kirk thanked Tobagonians for their support. He lamented, “Tobago is a unique division, meaning that to operate in the Tobago space, you have to have a level of the Tobago culture.” Kirk said he accepted the decision made by the TTPS administration and was contented that he’d done his best...

George: Criminals laughing at TTPS efforts in Tobago

In a stinging assessment of the crime situation in Tobago, chairman of the Tobago Chamber of Commerce, Martin George, says while criminals are “running rampant” the police seem “clueless and helpless.” He warned that the island could be “lost” if action isn’t taken soon. Commenting on the island’s murder count, which increased to 22 yesterday, George said the police are focusing on the wrong things. “If this is the best effort of the TTPS, then they are clearly failing in their job. They are failing in the job of making the nation safe and secure,” he said. “One does not feel any sense...

Stakeholders blast Venezuelan women for TTPS idea

Anglican priest Reverend Eric Thompson’s call to recruit Venezuelan women into the police service is coming under heavy fire from former police commissioner Gary Griffith and former Police Service Commission (PolSC) member Martin George. Speaking at the St Thomas Anglican Church, Chaguanas, on Thursday during an interfaith service for women in the TTPS, Thompson suggested recruiting Venezuelan women into TTPS to help deal with the growing migrant population in T&T. “Striking a balance may mean the recruitment from Venezuela into the police service. Before we know it, we will have a migrant population from Venezuela that will be hard to infiltrate. “Maybe it...

Martin George: Tobago becoming ‘more murderous’ than Trinidad

Claiming Tobago is becoming “more murderous” than Trinidad, the Tobago Business Chamber is urging citizens to put pressure on the police to deal with the island’s worsening crime situation. The chamber’s chairman Martin George made the appeal on August 23 in the wake of the shooting death of Kerlon Thomas on the night of August 21. Thomas, 21, was liming with a group of men on the side of the road at Friendsfield when three men got out of a station wagon and began shooting at them. Thomas died on the spot but three other men – one in critical condition – remain warded at...
