?Open let­ter to Ag Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice James Philbert: On Oc­to­ber 16, due to the quick re­sponse of your of­fi­cers sta­tioned at the Arou­ca Po­lice Sta­tion and the pa­trol unit at Trinci­ty Mall at the time, a man who was at­tempt­ing to break in­to my house was ap­pre­hend­ed. The man was spot­ted by passers-by who called the po­lice. I was at the mall at the time and wit­nessed your of­fi­cers speed­ing away. I was in­formed lat­er on that they were re­spond­ing to the call of an at­tempt­ed break-in–at my home. Up­on ar­rival at my home I was told that the of­fi­cers ar­rived on the scene and caught the man in ac­tion. My win­dows were open and he was ready to at­tempt an en­try.

It was due to their swift ac­tion that my home was not in­vad­ed and I was not made to suf­fer the loss of my hard-earned pos­ses­sions. By their ac­tions your men pre­vent­ed a great deal of pain and suf­fer­ing and I am very grate­ful. I al­so ex­tend my ap­pre­ci­a­tion for the ser­vice pro­vid­ed there­after. Due to their feed­back I am now able to up­grade the se­cu­ri­ty sys­tem at my home. On be­half of my fam­i­ly I ex­tend our great­est ap­pre­ci­a­tion for the out­stand­ing work of your of­fi­cers.
