The TT Police Service seems to be incapable of handling crime, according to retired Senior Superintendent Johnny Abraham who lamented that criminals and gangs are running T&T.
He was at the time speaking with Guardian Media on Tuesday at a crime awareness seminar hosted by Ryan Rampersad, Chairman of the Couva/Tabaquite/Talparo Regional Corporation (CTTRC.

Under fire for some of his utterances made at a political meeting, retired police officer, Johnny Abraham responds.
He denies targeting police commissioner, Erla Harewood-Christopher by his criticisms, and his claim that the police service is leaderless.
Mr. Abraham was speaking at the opposition leader’s anti crime town meeting on Monday night, when he said; the crime situation is out of control.
Many are of the opinion Mr. Abraham was disrespectful to the commissioner.
On the morning show on i95.5fm today, Mr. Abraham said, all is not lost and the crime scourge can be turned around.
Mister Abraham also dismissed the view that he was unkind to police officers, who pursued studies while in the service.

I never saw any domestic reports

Former head of the Central Division, retired Senior Superintendent Johnny Abraham, says no reports of domestic abuse involving Rachael Sukhdeo were made to the Chaguanas Police Station while he was in charge between 2014 and 2015.
Speaking to the GML Enterprise Desk Abraham said: "She knew me personally and she never brought any incident of abuse to my attention. I do not know if she made reports prior to my being in charge but no report came to me."
Abraham, who retired from the service late last year, added: "if any report was made I would have dealt with it."
The woman had reported that she had made several reports at the Chaguanas Police Station but they were not acted upon.
He said Rachael must know the officer whom she spoke with and when she spoke with them whether it was on the phone or whether she came to the front desk and the information was not passed to him but he insisted "she never spoke to me." He said he also found it "distasteful" a Facebook post from an account in the name of Rachael Sukhdeo which described Chaguanas police officers as "the most corrupt" and said she felt like the offender rather than the victim.
Abraham said in domestic abuse matters interrogating officers ask a lot of questions and it could be that given the line of questioning she may have felt "pressured."
However, he said the intention was never to make the victim feel like an offender, "it is just doing the job to get the facts."
There is also a post on the woman's Facebook page that a senior officer threatened her.
Former police commissioner Everald Snaggs described the events which unfolded on Tuesday outside the home of car dealer Sheron Sukhdeo at Orchard Gardens, Chaguanas, as an "unfortunate development that took place and it's in the media open to public trial. It is so unfortunate."
