Arima Mayor urges stronger security after Corporal Eversley killing

Days af­ter the bru­tal mur­der of po­lice cor­po­ral Anusha Ever­s­ley, at the San Fer­nan­do Mu­nic­i­pal Po­lice Sta­tion, Ari­ma May­or Bal­li­ram Ma­haraj said all Mu­nic­i­pal Cor­po­ra­tions should en­sure their of­fi­cers are safe.

Of­fer­ing his heart­felt con­do­lences to the fam­i­ly, friends and col­leagues of Cor­po­ral Ever­s­ley, Ma­haraj said: “A trag­ic loss of life and the brazen act of steal­ing arms and am­mu­ni­tion are mat­ters of na­tion­al con­cern, and all Cor­po­ra­tions should en­sure their of­fi­cers are safe and se­cure.”

Ac­cord­ing to a press state­ment on Tues­day, May­or Bal­li­ram Ma­haraj, Coun­cil­lor Dave Ma­haraj and the vice chair­man of the Mu­nic­i­pal Po­lice Com­mit­tee met with the Cor­po­ra­tion’s se­nior en­gi­neer and se­nior of­fi­cers of the Ari­ma Mu­nic­i­pal Po­lice (AMP) to un­der­take a re­view and as­sess­ment of the se­cu­ri­ty arrange­ments and pro­ce­dures of the AMP’s lo­ca­tions.

The re­lease stat­ed that the coun­cil will meet with the Cor­po­ra­tion to dis­cuss the con­cerns raised by the AMP dur­ing the meet­ing.
