Head of TTPS To­ba­go Di­vi­sion, Se­nior Su­per­in­ten­dent Earl Elie, is re­mind­ing po­lit­i­cal lead­ers and sup­port­ers in To­ba­go that “there is life af­ter elec­tions” as po­lice con­tin­ue to work be­hind the scenes to en­sure the is­land re­mains peace­ful dur­ing the cam­paign sea­son.

He told Guardian Me­dia that while the po­lice have not for­mal­ly brought all lead­ers to­geth­er, dis­cus­sions with in­di­vid­ual par­ties are on­go­ing.

“We have been in com­mu­ni­ca­tion with them and gath­er­ing the in­for­ma­tion we need to help struc­ture our du­ties and so forth,” he said.

Asked whether there had been any trou­bling be­hav­iour so far, Elie re­spond­ed:

“Well, on Nom­i­na­tion Day there was one in­ci­dent, but since then, we’ve had no such re­oc­cur­rence. We don’t an­tic­i­pate any, how­ev­er, we are not putting any­thing past any­body.”

He added that of­fi­cers are pre­pared for any even­tu­al­i­ties and are en­gag­ing di­rect­ly with key in­flu­encers with­in the var­i­ous po­lit­i­cal par­ties.

“ Quite cer­tain we are one peo­ple. One na­tion, one peo­ple—sweet To­ba­go,” Elie said, ap­peal­ing for a calm and re­spect­ful elec­tion sea­son.

Clar­i­fy­ing re­cent re­ports about a sup­posed meet­ing with po­lit­i­cal rep­re­sen­ta­tives, Elie said:

“It wasn’t a meet­ing per se. It was just to find out their itin­er­ary—when they would have their mo­tor­cades and those sorts of things. It’s just to pro­vide prop­er se­cu­ri­ty and sup­port.”

During my consultation with Ms Brafit CEO Nicole Joseph-Chin, what was supposed to be a simple mastectomy bra fitting became something much deeper. Her thoughtful questions unlocked emotions I didn’t even realise I was holding in. She comforted, reassured, and helped me face the truth of what was coming. That bra wasn’t just clothing—it was the first real symbol of life after surgery.
