SEVEN more police stations will be repurposed as the police seek to cut back on costs as they currently owe suppliers $182 million as at the end of January.
In an e-mailed response to Sunday Newsday, the police said some of the seven stations will not be repurposed this fiscal year. The seven are Mayaro; Four Roads (Diego Martin), both to be transformed into virtual courts; Cap-deVille Police Station (Point Fortin) will be used to accommodate the municipal police as a base and will be working along with police officers; San Juan sub-station will become the Traffic Investigations Unit to provide assistance with traffic management in the division; the St Madeleine and St Margaret’s police stations (San Fernando) will house homicide and Fraud Squad and the Gende
Boodram Basdeo.
Between 2010 and 2019, 8,383 people went missing. Out of that number, 408 people were still not found at the end of 2019, statistics from the T&T Police Service show. For the last year, scores of other people were reported missing, among them several young women, a few of whom have since been located and returned home. Others remain unaccounted for.
Sunday Guardian received a list with the names of 112 people who were missing from Missing Persons T&T group on Facebook up to September 2020. However, they indicated that “The actual number of unaccounted people according to our count is ten times this number because these are the posts we made in the last year only.”
