TTPS Maintains Heightened Security Posture in Response to the Venezuela Situation

It is the responsibility of the TTPS to anticipate risks, maintain public confidence, and ensure that Trinidad and Tobago remains safe and secure during periods of uncertainty. In keeping with this mandate, strategic operations have been activated.

The TTPS emphasizes that these actions are precautionary and form part of its ongoing commitment to national security. There is no need for public alarm as these measures are designed to ensure readiness, stability, and continuity of service should circumstances evolve.

Citizens are encouraged to remain calm, stay informed through official channels, and report any suspicious activity to the police. Public vigilance, paired with responsible information sharing, remains an essential component of national resilience.

Commissioner of Police Allister Guevarro emphasized that the TTPS will keep the situation under constant review and update the public accordingly, reminding that as the saying goes, “when your neighbour’s house on fire, the prudent thing is to wet yours”.
