Prison Commissioner accidentally shoots himself in leg

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

POLICE are investigating how Commissioner of Prison Dennis Pulchan inflicted a wound on his leg.

Reports indicate Pulchan accidentally shot himself on Saturday at the commissioner’s quarters at Golden Grove.

The wound is not life-threatening and Pulchan is being monitored by health professionals.

A police report said around 8.30 pm on August 14, Pulchan was at his quarters at Golden Grove Road, Arouca.

The report said he was trying to holster his gun when he slipped and fell. He reported that he heard a loud bang, then felt a burning sensation in his right leg.

He was taken to the Arima Health Facility and later transferred to Medical Associates Ltd for further treatment.

Police processed the scene and found one spent 9mm shell casing and one projectile.

In an unrelated incident last week, police shot and killed Anthony St Louis and Natalie Alexander while investigating a plot to murder Pulchan and his family.

At that time he told the media there would always be threats and he was prepared to do his job to the best of his ability to serve the people of Trinidad and Tobago.

There was also a disturbance at the Maximum Security Prison in July, in which mattresses were set alight by inmates objecting to being moved to a new building.

Investigations are continuing into all incidents.

Tripped and fell?

Okay Pulchan.

[De Dragon]

He should be relieved of the firearm, and retrained. Yes, I know he's getting death threats, but assign him a detail until he gets it done.

ALL FUL and FUEC holders should go through periodic type specific recertification.
2 Hrs contact time per year.
Plus an extended course of standardised training

It is accepted that these skills are highly perishable- as all skills generally are- so why is the process such that once you qualify you dont have to retrain?

And drug testing.
And post a bond

My theory:
Gun man in your hole gone wrong....
He feel shame and say he shoot himself.

The TTPS "accidental" discharge when cleaning their gun usually hits another officer they have an issue with.

Venes need to stop having / importing guns too. They getting out of hand.

[timothymcdavid]

I have a fundamentally different view of this.

Why did the prison commissioner think he needed to have his weapon cocked, locked and ready to rock?

Had his safety been on and or a round not being in the chamber this wouldnt have happened,

IMHO this guy is fearful for his life seeing what had happened recently and the history of deaths and assassinations of prison officers even a past commissioner of prisons no one can blame him.

Criminality is a real issue in Trinbago no surprise there.

A fish rots from his head so until the powers that be get serious in resolving the rampant corruption violent crime will remain it is as simple as that.

many modern guns have no physical safety
the safety is keeping your finger off the trigger and properly holstered

Getting out of hand would mean a high crime rate.

They so accustomed to crime that every one you see get hold, twenty escaping the law. Lawless people who couldn’t fix their own country come to spoil ours. With help from people like you who only want them because it suits your greed. When they finish , Trini would be like Venezuela.

Many do not know this.
Before you pick up a weapon, no matter if it's a gun or a blade, make sure your two primary safeties the one on the end of your hand and the one between your ears., properly functional.
