Nonchalant security attitude

When this meeting ended and I went to retrieve my vehicle at approximately 2 pm, I was unable to find my vehicle. After walking through out the entire southern area of the car park, it became apparent that my vehicle was stolen. The subject of my deep concern does not lie solely in the fact that my car was stolen, but the scant courtesy that this incident was given by the security.

The fact that I was asked to display my staff ID upon arrival at the Eric Williams car park led me to believe that the area where my car was being lodged provided secure parking particularly since I demonstrated that I was a member of staff.

After a meeting with the head of the North Central Regional Health Authority on Monday September 20, I grew more concerned at the way security handled my complaint. In the midst of dealing with the financial loss that I suffered, the security stated that, “I may be in some alliance with criminal persons”. Security further stated that while it is my right to seek redress on the loss, “I should not damn the bridge that I crossed”.

Subsequently, in another meeting with security I was told the possibility of traveling existed so that the car could not have been stolen (and that) the security company has the contract for the past five years and within this time many cars have been stolen…and their job is not to secure every car in the car park.

It is based on these facts that I have decided to bring my unfortunate incident to your attention.

It is against these factors that I decided to take the initiative to outline what appears to me to be negligent and nonchalant actions of the persons responsible for security at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex.
