Commissioner of Police, Gary Griffith, and the Executive of the TTPS have offered condolences to the relatives, friends, and colleagues of Police Constable Hayden Spencer who died on Friday after a short battle with Covid-19.

PC Spencer died while undergoing medical treatment at the Couva Hospital and Multi-Training Facility.

PC Spencer had 12 years in the police service and was last attached to the Hearts and Minds, Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) since 2012.

He also served as a member of the Special Operations Response Team (SORT).

PC Spencer’s senior officer, Insp Charles, of the IATF, described him as “always willing to help as he went the extra mile to help anyone.”

He added, “He loved cooking, baking and sharing bread with his colleagues. He loved eating! He was well-loved by the students of Success/Laventille Secondary School, having conducted patrols and lectures at the school and the community.”

This is the third officer that TTPS has lost in the past two weeks from Covid-19.

PC Anthony Nicholson and Inspector (Ag.) Mukesh Sookram  passed away on May 7th and May 12th, respectively.
