COMMISSIONER OF POLICE Allister Guevarro kept his lips sealed on whether the police were involved in key crime-fighting joint training exercises with the US military’s 22nd US Marine Expeditionary Unit.

“The involvement of the TTPS in the training is something that is strategic in nature and it will be remiss of me to advertise to the nation what we are doing,” Guevarro said at the passing-out parade for police officers at the Police Training Academy in St James on November 17.

At a media conference on November 14, Minister of Foreign and Caricom Affairs Sean Sobers announced that military personnel from the Marine Expeditionary Unit will hold training exercises with local armed forces at a press conference on November 14.
