You have a responsibility too

“We want you to enjoy yourselves this carnival, but you also have a responsibility in ensuring that this Carnival continues to be a safe one by protecting yourself,” said Dulalchan in an interview with Newsday yesterday. He added that without the public’s co-operation with the police, they would not have been able to do their jobs so efficiently.

Dulalchan however was concerned about the number of incidents of petty theft occurring in Port of Spain. In his capacity as Gold Commander, he advised that people try their best to make themselves harder targets while enjoying the Carnival festivities.

He advised that citizens not leave their jewellery and valuable items in any open places in their cars, something which may entice criminals to break into the vehicles.

Dulalchan also advised all revellers to use the sober zones located in various parts of Port of Spain whenever possible and have a designated driver if too much alcohol was consumed.
