Police Commissioner Allister Guevarro has confirmed that the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service will deploy trained officers to high-risk schools, starting from the beginning of the upcoming school term in September.
At a breakfast meeting hosted by the Chaguanas Chamber on Thursday, the Police Commissioner said officers are currently being trained.
“The Government would have provided an undertaking to the country to have police officers placed in schools, especially in those troubled, high-risk schools, and I am pleased to announce to the nation today that we, the TTPS, have answered the call. We have persons already in training, to have placed in those schools at the beginning of the school term, thus to keep the mandate of the Government. So police officers will be in those targeted, identified schools from the beginning of the school term.”
