Erla enlists the help of God again amidst crime surge

Police Commissioner Erla Harewood-Christopher has again stressed the need for God’s support in anti-crime efforts.

Harewood-Christopher made the remarks during the annual TTPS Interfaith service at the Cathedral of Immaculate Conception in Port-of-Spain, on Sunday.

She said, “We come and acknowledge the supremacy of God and the important role he has to play for us in achieving our mandate.

“We know all that we have gone through and we know with God’s grace and with his help, we will succeed.”

“The tides will turn and we will see the success we desire,” she added.

Harewood-Christopher first stressed the importance of divine support to crime-fighting on March 16, 2023, during a meeting of the Greater Chaguanas Chamber of Commerce.

“The police could come up with whatever strategy, but unless we enlist the help of God, we will be working in vain,” Harewood-Christopher said at that event.

Christopher also said her remarks yesterday that the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service personnel are also willing to meet with faith-based organisations.

This after Roman Catholic priest Fr David Khan issued the call during his homily.

The theme of the service was “Walking in Faith: Trust and Dedication”.
