Acting Commissioner of Police Erla Christopher is dismissing rumours purported via a social media post, which states that there is a COVID-19 scare at the Police Academy.
Via a media release, Acting Commissioner Christopher notes that it has been a mandatory practice to isolate and test new recruits and all instructors prior to the start of training.
A new batch of recruits was inducted on Monday January 9th and they were all tested and placed into isolation until the results are obtained.
The TTPS says so far, there are only four Positive results and those recruits have been placed in further isolation with others, based on trace contact.
The TTPS says the isolated recruits are regularly monitored by EMTs on site who communicate
further with the Police Doctor.
