Closed Area Declarations, Not Policing Districts, Determine Curfew Restrictions

Authorities are reminding the public how Trinidad and Tobago is mapped out under the Special Operations Act of 2026.

Under the legislation, the nation is divided into seven policing districts:

  • District 1 covers Port of Spain, Diego Martin, and San Juan/Laventille.
  • District 2 encompasses Arima and Tunapuna/Piarco.
  • District 3 groups Sangre Grande with Mayaro/Rio Claro.
  • District 4 pairs Chaguanas with Couva/Tabaquite/Talparo.
  • District 5 covers San Fernando and Princes Town.
  • District 6 includes Point Fortin, Siparia, and Penal/Debe.
  • Tobago stands as District 7.

Officials are stressing that simply living in a policing district does not mean residents are subject to a curfew.

Restrictions or lockdowns only apply if a specific zone is officially declared a closed area.
