Deosaran: Come share views on police

Rather, he said the plan had always been to state its general objectives and get citizens concerns and suggestions for improving police performance and the country’s public safety .

The meeting, which was poorly attended, was eventually postponed .

Saying the postponement was indeed regrettable, Deosaran gave several explanations for the poor turnout .

He said the committee does not have its own budget for timely media advertisement and the request for advertisements faced bureaucratic challenges .

Deosaran added that active planning for the event should also have started earlier .

He said since the committee comprises six members, all of whom have fulltime jobs elsewhere, government hired a five-member implementation team “who would no doubt treat last Friday’s experience as a learning experience.” “The audit committee reassures the public that it will continue as hard as possible to achieve its important objectives .

“Deosaran said the committee has planned two more town meetings, one of which is scheduled to take place tomorrow at the Chaguanas Borough Corporation at 6.30 pm .

The other takes place on Tuesday at the Siparia Plaza, Siparia, at the same time .

“Again citizens are invited to attend to present their police and safety concerns and where possible, make recommendations to the Committee for improvement .

Their views are important,” he said .
