Residents of the Brasso district fear that history will be repeated as its local police station faces repurposing by the TTPS.
According to 38-year-old business owner, Sharen Badal-Ahyew, news of the plan struck residents with a familiar sense of panic, many questioning how they would escape a rising criminal presence in the area.
A release issued by the TTPS on November 11 indicated that officers stationed at Brasso were to be relocated to the Gran Couva Police Station within two weeks. The former premises are set to be occupied by other agencies within the TTPS in an attempt to adapt to 21st century policing.
