Thank you, motorcycle cop

My family went over to Tobago last Friday and unfortunately, got lost almost immediately trying to find Calderhall. Thankfuly, there was a motorcycle cop directing traffic at an intersection in Scarborough.

When we asked for assistance to find our guesthouse, he graciously offered to serve as a guide since his shift was over.

On the way, however, he stopped no less than three times to reprimand errant drivers who were flouting the traffic laws in a most flippant manner, even giving out a ticket to one driver who had tried to take a shortcut by going the wrong way on a one way street. He led us safely to our destination and with a nod, rode off to continue doing his job.

Mr Officer, I wish that I knew your name, or even your number so that I could publicly thank you for your help; but since I don’t know either, I hope that this short letter will suffice. I honestly believe that if Trinidad had more dedicated cops like yourself, it would not be the mess it is today. God bless you and yours.
