THE EDITOR: For some time now there has been a huge puddle of water just opposite the Central Market, which could not drain off for one reason or other. So, you had drivers either splashing water on the windshields of other vehicles, as those with 4-by-4s felt it adventurous to drive through without slowing. When the water hits the windshield of a car, the driver is blinded for a few seconds, but no one cares about that.

Also, the joints of the Beetham flyover are no longer covered by asphalt, leaving deep gashes across the road. Maybe that's caused by the settling water or the volume of traffic. However, someone seems to have had a bright idea to cover it with a small \"hill\" of oil sand, so we now have a hump that gives your car a nice bump of maybe a inch or two in the air. Humpty Dumpty, if you will. Happy humping or bumping, if you please.

And so with the rains, these humps/bumps have now become dislodged and clumps of material and bits of iron are scattered. Drivers have to slow down, risking being rear-ended by errant van drivers who have no issue in \"slamming\" through. You now have an obstacle course of holes, turns, gashes, debris, water, oil slick. Oh what fun (sigh, SMH).

Mayor Chinua Alleyne, Mr Minister of Works and Transport, there is a serious situation happening here. Maybe when you fly to work in your helicopter you can pass over, because I can't believe that you or anyone in the mayor's office or the ministry drove on this flyover headache and pretended not to see anything, and simply dismissed it as just another of the thousands of potholes, dig-ups, dig-ins, patches, filings, etc which plague the nation.

Don't wait to be sued for causing an accident on an unsafe road.

Fatima College may have missed the chance to grab a double in the Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL) premier division and national intercol competitions this year, but two of their age group teams advanced to their respective national finals after narrow victories on Saturday.

In the Form 1 (under-13) category, the Fatima youngsters emerged as the winners of the Trinidad leg of the competition as they eked out a 1-0 win over Queen's Royal College (QRC) at the former school's ground in Mucurapo. Fatima's lone item came in the latter stages of the 60-minute match, as Xavier Barrow scored from just inside the QRC half with a long-range effort that caught the 'Royalians' goalie off guard. Perhaps, Fatima's under-13s were exacting some revenge for the loss suffered by their senior team in the North zone intercol semi-finals on November 16.

Fatima will play the Tobago zone winner Signal Hill Secondary in the national under-13 final at the Mucurapo venue on December 2.

In Trinidad's under-14 final on Monday, Naparima College stormed to the national final as they got a thumping 7-1 win away to Arima North Secondary. Naparima held a 3-1 lead at the half in the 70-minute match thanks to a brace by Donovan Drayton. Arima went down to ten players in the 55th minute after Kymani Huggins was booked twice within a four-minute span. The shorthanded Arima team crumbled under the pressure as they conceded four more times in the dying stages of the game, with Naparima's Adasa Richardson bagging a hat-trick.

Naparima will play Signal Hill in the national under-14 final on December 6.

In the under-16 competition, Fatima once again showed their ability to grind out a result as they got a slender 1-0 win over St Benedict's College in the Trinidad final. Similar to their win in the under-13 match, Fatima left it late on their school ground as Jediah King scored the winning goal in the dying embers of the 80-minute contest. Fatima's under-16 team includes premier division players such as Kade Collier, Tom Decle, Jonathan Mason and Caden Trestrail, the youngster whose last-ditch header clinched Fatima's first title in the premier division era last month.

Fatima will meet Tobago winners Speyside Secondary in the national under-16 final in Tobago on December 4. Speyside won all five of their matches in league play in the Tobago zone - scoring 21 goals and conceding just one in the process.

With a senior national double now out of reach in 2023, Fatima will turn their attention to a potential double scalp in the national under-13 and under-16 competitions.

POLICE Complaints Authority (PCA) director David West said for this year, a total of 713 complaints against police officers have been made to the authority. West added this is reflective of a trend of increasing complaints against police officers that began in 2014.

He made the comments during a meeting between PCA officials and members of the Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) at the Red House, Port of Spain, on Wednesday.

West recalled that in 2014-2015, when he began his tenure as PCA director, the authority had 352 complaints against police officers.

He said, “By 2021-2022 that had increased to 569 complaints.”

This, West continued, was an increase of 66.7 per cent.

He partly attributed the 713 complaints before the PCA this year because people use social media to complaints directly to the authority.

PCA deputy director Michelle Solomon-Baksh said the complainants may be ordinary citizens (including the relatives of police officers) or police officers themselves.

She referred to cases where relatives of police officers made complaints to the PCA in domestic violence situations.

In response to a question from PAC member Opposition Senator Jearlean John, Solomon-Baksh said the PCA did not direct police officers to investigate complaints which were made to it.

“Legislation mandates that no police officer is to work at the PCA. We are a civilian oversight body. So we can’t have a police officer engaged in our exercise.”

She said when the PCA referred complaints to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for further action, the DPP could then issue further instructions to the police to complete further actions which were outside of the authority’s operations.

Responding to a question from John, West clarified the difference between complaints and initial reports. He said the latter happend when “complainants first come in to the PCA and make a report but it doesn’t quite meet the standards of our serious police misconduct or our legal remit.” The number of these reports increased from 552 (2014-2015) to 1,028 (2021-2022).

West said that was an 86 per cent increase. Complaints brought before the PCA are considered closed when they are referred to either the Commissioner of Police (CoP) or the DPP for action to be taken by these respective office holders.

West told PAC members that from 2014-2022, 354 and 93 complaints were respectively sent to the CoP and DPP for action.

After explaining that the authority receives between 400 to 500 complaints per year, Solomon-Baksh said complaints were investigated by six teams of PCA officials under the supervision of West and herself.

She added that some of the matters were criminal matters which, by law, must be brought before a court before six months.

“Those matters have to be dealt with by the authority and by the teams, within a short space of time.” In cases where the authority does not complete its work on these matters within six months, Solomon-Baksh said, “If the matter goes over, the matter doesn’t die.”

She added, “We
