2009 and Police still saying, “We have no Vehicles”
So much for 20/20 vision. What a joke!!!!
I think I just need to stop reading the daily papers, because the dotishness is driving me crazy. After reading this article in the express I just want to hang every politician upside down like bats, especially the PM and slap them silly, (wait they done silly already) so slapping them silly will not do much. Well, I still want to slap them and leave them out in the sun to dry like prunes and then package them and ship them off to never-never land.
Residents and business people complained vehemently yesterday that they need more patrols, but said whenever they call the Woodbrook Police Station they are told that there are no vehicles.
In the year 2009 you could believe that they still saying they have no vehicles.
The Express understands that some residents have also complained to the police about “strange characters” seen in one of the area’s many parks. A senior officer in the station reportedly advised them to contact social services. “But these people are not vagrants, they are bandits and they wait until people go to work to rob their homes,” one resident said angrily.
And the audacity of a senior officer to make such a comment to the resident to call social services. Even if it was vagrants it is the duty of a police officer to respond to whatever the situation or circumstances may be, and Mr. Senior Officer even if social services are responsible they should be escorted by the police.
I had to resort to my Cote Ci, Cote La dictionary to describe the senior police officer and the government for not providing enough vehicles for the police officers to function, and knowing how Trini police is operate they may have the vehicles and still come up with some excuse why they can’t respond.
OK so the Cote ci, Cote la word is:- BEH-BEH.

ARRRGGGHHH!!! This is growing more and more annoying daily. Of course there are “strange characters” in the area parks. They are also called vagrants, prostitutes, and solicitors. They have been around for years, but that does not give the police a right to be so desensitized to their presence that they dismiss the discomfort of residents. There has been a sudden increase in robberies in the Woodbrook area. That alone should be enough to let these officers know that they’re not dealing with the usual “strange characters”.
And what is this talk about no vehicles??!! The Woodbrook Police Station is right behind one of the parks and close to another…..Here’s an idea….WALK!!! You don’t need a vehicle to show your face and let a would be robber know that you’re so close that he/she should think twice before trying something illegal.
Someone needs to tell these people that Vision 2020 is also a mindset…and not just about big, fancy buildings. We need to start retraining the mentality of our countrymen and women.
BTW – Loving the new look

Looks like they were only trained in how to come up with EXCUSES, instead of SOLUTIONS.
It would be nice if they can really grasp that Vision 2020 is a mindset. Very depressing.

Assign foot patrol in the neighborhoods, and use cell phones to dispatch calls for help.
