Top Cop commends TTPS for safe and successful Tobago Carnival

Police Commissioner Erla Harewood-Christopher has commended members of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) for what she has described as a safe and successful event.

Celebrations on the island culminated on Monday and in a media release on Tuesday, the Top Cop said that “Tobago Carnival 2024 exemplified the dedication, teamwork and professionalism of officers and was a true showcase of what can be achieved through collaboration, diligence, and a shared sense of responsibility.”

She added: “I commend every officer who contributed to making these festivities safe and enjoyable, I also wish to expressly thank everyone involved in helping us achieve our mission of giving our residents and visitors a memorable and safe Tobago Carnival experience.”

Harewood-Christopher said the achievement would not have been possible without the outstanding leadership of DCP Suzette Martin and the Incident Command Team of ACP Collis Hazel, ACP Oswain Subero, and Snr Supt Earl Elie. 

“Their vision, strategic planning and astute execution of their plans were critical elements of their success. The cooperation of the many officers on the ground, provided the framework for an effective security blanket, making it possible for the all participants to celebrate safely,” she said.

She further noted that officers from various Divisions, Branches, and Sections from Trinidad supplemented and supported their colleagues on the sister island to deliver on this key objective.
