PUT DOWN THE GUN

A controversial annual report from the Police Complaints Authority (PCA) has sent ripples through Trinidad and Tobago’s law enforcement community, revealing that police were involved in 60 fatal shootings between October 1, 2024, and September 30, 2025 — the highest one-year death toll from police encounters in over a decade. The data, included in the PCA’s 15th annual report, was recently presented to Parliament, and it shows that independent oversight body launched full investigations into every one of these fatal incidents.
