A man is in Police custody following a shooting incident in the Central Division last night (Monday 13th May, 2024), which claimed the life of No. 15754 PC Dale Mayers, who was last attached to the Northern Division.
According to the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS), reports indicate that the victim was in the company of two (2) other persons at a Chaguanas business place, around 10:15 PM on Monday night, when they were approached by a male suspect armed with a gun, who announced a robbery.
It is alleged that PC Mayers drew his TTPS-issued firearm and fired several shots in the direction of the suspect, who returned fire, hitting the Officer. The suspect then ran out of the establishment. PC Mayers was taken to the Chaguanas Health Facility where he succumbed to his injuries while undergoing emergency medical treatment. Shortly after, Officers attached to the Besson Street Criminal Investigations Department (CID), acting on information, proceeded to the Port-of-Spain General Hospital (POSGH), where they met with Hospital staff who reported that around 11:00 PM, a 23-year-old man was brought into the facility, nursing gunshot wounds. The suspect, who fitted the general appearance and physical description of the assailant involved in the shooting incident, was detained.
Investigations are ongoing into the matter.
Commissioner of Police, Erla Harewood-Christopher and the Executive of the TTPS have extended heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of PC Mayers, in the aftermath of his tragic passing. More on this as it becomes available. Pictured Above: Shermell Reece, 36. A woman is dead following a shooting incident outside her home in Barataria on Monday afternoon (13th May, 2024).

The Cabinet has officially extended the contract of Commissioner of Police, Erla Harewood-Christopher, by one (1) year. The announcement was made via a Media Release on Monday (13th May, 2024) from the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) - Communications, which stated:
The Cabinet has today (May 13, 2024) advised the President, Her Excellency Christine Carla Kangaloo, O.R.T.T., under Section 75(a) of the Police Service Act, to extend the service of Mrs. Erla Harewood-Christopher in the office of Commissioner of Police, for a period of one (1) year with effect from May 15, 2024.
The announcement came hours after Attorney General Reginald Armour had told Parliament that a decision on the CoP’s fate would come by today [Monday].
Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar expressed her disappointment at the decision during the UNC’s latest Anti-Crime Town Hall Meeting in Morvant. “Before I came here, we are sitting in the Parliament and I got a piece of news and that news doesn’t give me any assurance that within the next year, things will get any better with the crime in Trinidad and Tobago,” Persad-Bissessar told the gathering. “You know what that news was? The Government has now extended the contract of the present Commissioner of Police.” As boos and jeers filled the air, Persad-Bissessar underscored, “Now I have no pain or no trouble with that Commissioner of Police. In fact, we voted for her when the matter came to Parliament last time, we voted, we said give her a chance and we have given her a chance. But it is with a heavy heart that I report this tonight because I am even more worried what will be happening during the course of this year.” Meanwhile, Former Police Commissioner Gary Griffith also expressed his views on the decision in a statement. “I think the extension of Erla is expected, and maybe even appropriate. Any independent office holder that shows competence, success and popularity above that of this Government, is deemed as a threat. Remember, Erla, when measured in performance and competence by international experts, could not place in the top fifteen (15) of those who applied for CoP or Deputy CoP and based on her performance and competence, or lack of, in the last year, it is indeed most appropriate for her extension, as her standard equates with that of the Security Minister and Chair of the National Security Council,” Griffith said. He added, “So in terms of competence, accountability and performance, birds of a feather. You cannot appoint a James Bond or a Rambo to work with the Mr. Bean and Tommy Joseph of T&T National Security. So her extension fits in perfectly.” More on this as it becomes available.

A Police Officer is dead following a shooting incident at a bar in Longdenville, Chaguanas, last night (Monday 13th May, 2024). The deceased has been identified as No. 15754 PC Dale Mayers, aka ‘Rugrat,’ who was last assigned to the Arima Police Station. Mayers was also said to be a member of the Trinidad and Tobago Automobile Sports Association (TTASA). He was killed during what appears to be an attempted robbery.
According to reports, Mayers was liming with two (2) friends at Unique Restaurant and Bar in Longdenville, around 10:15 PM, when a lone gunman, identified as 23-year-old Ishmael Clarke of Nelson Street, Port-of-Spain, entered and announced a hold-up. Mayers quickly drew his licensed firearm and shot at Clarke. However, Clarke returned fire, hitting Mayers in the chest.
Mayers was rushed to the Chaguanas Health Facility where he died while undergoing emergency medical treatment.
Clarke was subsequently detained by Police after seeking help at the Port-of-Spain General Hospital (POSGH) for his gunshot wound, where he remains under Police guard at this time. According to the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS), we can expect generally fair, hazy and breezy conditions today (Tuesday 14th May, 2024), at times interrupted by partly cloudy spells with the isolated shower. Tonight will be mostly fair and hazy despite the isolated shower.
The Met Office notes that a mild concentration of Saharan dust is present in the atmosphere. Persons sensitive to these atmospheric conditions should take the necessary precautions. The forecast maximum temperature today will be 34°C at Piarco in Trinidad and 33°C at Crown Point in Tobago. Seas are moderate with waves up to 1.5m in open waters and near 1m in sheltered areas. Please continue to pay attention to the latest forecasts, alerts, and information issued by the TTMS. According to the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS), an induced surface trough together with low-level convergence and some moisture advection across the Lesser Antilles, is expected to cause mixed conditions during this outlook period (Tuesday 14th to Saturday 18th May, 2024). Sunshine and fair conditions are likely to be interrupted at times by cloudy patches, producing light or moderate showers over varying areas. There will exist a 10% to 20% chance for an isolated heavy shower to develop, especially during the afternoons and near hilly areas.
For this outlook period, Trinidad and Tobago is likely to initially experience generally fair conditions. Weak low-level convergence and moisture advection, mainly from the East and Northeast, is likely to produce patches of clouds, giving a light or moderate shower in a few areas. As the week progresses, by Thursday (16th May, 2024), there is expected to be an increase in atmospheric moisture encroaching from the Southeast. This, together with some low-level convergence, increases the probability (20% to 30%) for the development of a heavy shower in some areas, from Thursday (16th May, 2024) into Friday (17th May, 2024). According to present analysis, Friday (17th May, 2024) shows to be the day with the highest probability (30%) for the development of a heavy shower or thunderstorm, which would most likely be during the morning to early afternoon, favouring Western Trinidad, South and Southeast offshore areas, and hilly areas. The wind in the near-surface to mid-levels is expected to continue to be steady and moderate for this outlook period. It is possible for this to translate down to the surface at times, giving breezy to windy conditions, especially in the vicinity of any shower or in elevated areas. The Met Office notes that the present Saharan dust concentration in the atmosphere has been reduced to varying between moderate to mild, and is expected to continue like that for this outlook period. In the event of any bush or brush fires, landfill or forest fires, together with the Saharan dust, a further reduction in air quality is to be expected. Sensitive persons are advised to take the necessary precautions. Please continue to pay attention to the latest forecasts, alerts, and information issued by the TTMS. The Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission (T&TEC) is advising customers that planned maintenance work will affect several areas of Fyzabad, Princes Town and Palo Seco on Tuesday (14th May, 2024).

According to T&TEC, the affected areas in Fyzabad, Princes Town and Palo Seco are as follows: FYZABAD (9:00 AM to 3:00 PM)
PRINCES TOWN (9:00 AM to 4:00 PM)
