Kudos to the Police Service. I never thought I would be saying that.
An incident happened on Monday that required me to call the TT Police. I was in POS at the time and I was extremely worried about someone who seemed to be in trouble. It seemed like a kidnapping and rape in progress.
At the time I didn't have a choice but to call them and I was torn between going there myself rather than calling them out given their track record. The Criminal Investigation Dept (CID) responded in ten, yes non believers, 10 minutes. Armed to the teeth, raring to kick some ass. Then the regular Police came 5 minutes after. Through traffic of the worst kind.
It was a false alarm, the product of some sick and I mean really sick minds. The officers were helpful and considerate and thoroughly professional. The officer taking our reports asked pertinent and thorough questions, the process was over in ten minutes. With all the negative publicity the police here have gotten, this service was amazing. Good that it was a false alarm but if it wasn't...then they were on the ball. Good job guys... thank you.
As I was in the station, a guy came to make a report and I overheard:
Man: Officer I want to make a report.
Officer: Your name? (and so forth)
Man: (gives information)
Officer: Your report is? ...?
Man: Mih son going to kill 'eself ...
Officer: (Closes notebook) (visibly disturbed) ah fedup... FEDUP ah tell yuh. Yuh wasting the Police time!!!!!!! Is ten times we went dey today arready and he aint kill himself yet? When he done? Tell him I say when he done kill heself??..?? Come and report it.

Sometimes we forget that police officers are just regular people trying to do their jobs. There are some good ones and some bad ones (you hear a lot about the bad one), but I think in general they are pretty competant.
