CoP breaks silence: Gang instability fueling murder rate
Almost one week after the country crossed the dreaded milestone of 300 murders, Police Commissioner Erla Harewood Christopher has broken her silence, telling the nation the TTPS will not relent and it will not fail.
The statement came via a video statement sent out to the media last night, which continues the commissioner’s streak of months without taking direct questions from reporters. It’s something she addressed directly in her message saying she understands the need to account to the public but according to her, directing the activities of the TTPS takes precedence.
“There must be an appreciation of the fact that there is a lot the police do and knows that will be imprudent and impractical for the police to disclose,” she said. “That void however, should not be filled with uninformed and often unwarranted critical views.”
Speaking on the murder toll crossing 300 which she called a “dreaded milestone,” she acknowledged that it is that that most concerns citizens and “causes their greatest anxiety and grief,” carrying the “most weight on [her] scorecard and that of every police officer.”
She said gang activity and drugs are the main causes of murder.
The commissioner noted, “Rivalry among members of individual gangs and alliances being formed between breakaway groups resulting in the fight for turf . We observe the practice of repeat offenders, sharing their experience with their peers, and working to empower perpetrators to inhibit the proper investigation of crimes.”
According to the Commissioner,for the six month period, January to June 2023, Trinidad and Tobago recorded 286 murders including 23 double and four, triple homicides. She said the average for the last 10 years was 257, with the next second highest being 278 in 2018 and 259 in 2022.
She made a similar appeal to that of her predecessors for citizens to collaborate with the TTPS, saying if you see something, say something.
“Give us the information to make a timely intervention. The life you save could be your own, or that of your loved ones,” the Commission implored.

New TTPS unit making arrests
https://www.guardian.co.tt/news/deadly-home-invasions-6.2.1753331.19d2033fa1
The Sunday Guardian was unable to obtain statistics on how many senior citizens over the age of 60 were murdered in 2020 and 2021.
An analysis of last year’s murders documented by the TTPS showed that of the 34 murders, 24 were men with ten women.
With almost 200 murders committed against the elderly in the last eight and half years, many of them stemming from violent home invasions and robberies, Police Commissioner Erla Harewood-Christopher has appointed a home invasion unit in the TTPS. In a WhatsApp message she revealed that the unit is led by ACP Kent Ghisyawan and comprises officers of the Western Division CID and Gang Units from the Port-of-Spain and Northern Divisions, as well as lawmen from the Southern, Central and South Western divisions.
Harewood-Christopher said she has set in motion plans and strategies to capture the offenders and restore safety and security in communities.
“I focused on my team’s discussions and strategies to address the increased reports of home invasions which are classified as robberies, house breakings, burglaries and other gang-related offences,” she explained, adding that Harewood-Christopher she is cognisant that “these crimes can be very traumatic as one’s privacy is violated and in some cases, the experience can also be fatal.”
The unit has been directed to focus on utilising intelligence-led policing and collaborating with communities.
“These operations are also data-driven utilising information from the Crime and Problem Analysis Branch (CAPA) and this strategically guides the deployment of resources based on the temporal and spatial analysis of these crimes. These operations were ongoing to address the issue of violent crimes generally. However, with the increased reports of home invasions, the exercises were intensified,” the CoP said.
Several known gangsters and other offenders were targeted and 22 individuals are now before the courts for robberies, house break-ins, possession of firearms and ammunition and gang-related offences.
“In addition, further investigations are being conducted with a view of dismantling the gangs identified.”
Harewood-Christopher has also mandated the TTPS’ ten divisions to host regular community meetings to educate the public on home safety, crime prevention and the importance of neighbourhood watch groups.
She said police patrols are effective as several arrests have been made and getaway vehicles intercepted. This has led to a reduction in serious crimes in all divisions compared to 2022, she said.
“The TTPS continues to utilise all available resources to ensure the safety and security of all. This we pledge to do in collaboration with members of the public with a full appreciation of the critical role of the public in our crime prevention initiatives.”
