Take a bow ASP Abraham Monday, January 27 2014 THE EDITOR: Notwithstanding the unbearable murder rate, I would like to recognise the Police Service on their success in the crime fighting arena. Acting Senior Superintendent Johnny Abraham has been doing excellent work in the Central district. I must hasten to point out, that having worked in the Central district in the medical profession for almost 25 years, Abraham’s hard work and commitment did not just happen overnight. He has laboured at his job of being a good policeman and today, the public is seeing the fruit. In addition, the diligent officers who give him 100 percent support must also be recognised: it is the sum total of each individual effort which reflects on the entire Force. As such, it is no idle boast, that Chaguanas and environs are safer today. It is clear, that basic strategies of preparedness, patrol presence, willingness, diligence and response readiness are working and producing results. In addition, officers at the St James Police Station are also well known for arresting the crime spree in their area. Some years ago, this station reported significant decreases in crime and with the recent capture of a serial rapist, I am sure that this will only motivate officers to re-commit themselves, to the job at hand. Only recently, senior officers were indicating to the nation, that they will never give up the fight against criminals and I am seeing that in the rapid response to trouble calls. Within the last month, I have noted that there are many as six police vehicles occupying sentry positions along the highways, ever prepared and this augurs well. It means that at the first hint of trouble, a response will be forthcoming! I now want to challenge offenders to think twice about committing a crime, since they can be readily assured of a confrontation with the police and this normally ends in them being accommodated in the back of the police jeep, dead or alive, it’s their choice.
