Police To Increase Patrols At Parties

Police Commissioner, Gary Griffith, says it has come to his attention that a number of promoters are planning parties which have the potential of turning into mass gatherings. Via release, Commissioner Griffith reminded promoters, as well as members of the public, that the country is still facing the Covid-19 pandemic and also noted positive cases are still being recorded. Commissioner Griffith said the Police cannot be everywhere and know every event that is being planned. He added as soon as he got real-time information about an event taking place on the compound of Passage to Asia in Chaguanas, on Saturday, that he was able to act immediately and take action. The Police Commissioner also appealed to the public that as soon as they become aware of any event that has the potential to have a mass gathering, please contact 999 or Whats App 482-GARY immediately. He said the TTPS will increase its patrols to deal with these events which are being planned, some of which are being advertised on social media. This, he said, would include beaches across the country.
