Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter Roger Alexan­der says, de­spite this morn­ing's brazen at­tack in which a po­lice of­fi­cer was found dead in the San Fer­nan­do Mu­nic­i­pal Po­lice Sta­tion, he re­mains con­fi­dent in the T&T Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS).

Re­spond­ing to ques­tions hours af­ter Cpl Anusha Ever­s­ley was found dead and a quan­ti­ty of firearms and am­mu­ni­tion were miss­ing, Alexan­der said he has to await the out­come of the cur­rent in­ves­ti­ga­tion.

Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Al­lis­ter Gue­var­ro, mean­while, said he does be­lieve the in­ci­dent was a tar­get­ed at­tack against law en­force­ment.

Pressed as to whether this in­ci­dent could lead to a cur­few be­ing in­tro­duced, and more so that the coun­try is cur­rent­ly un­der a State of Emer­gency (SoE), Gue­var­ro said no.
