HOMELAND Security Minister Roger Alexander is urging prison officers to uphold integrity in the face of growing concerns about contraband in prisons.

Speaking during an interview with Newsday on October 10 along the Brian Lara Promenade in Port of Spain, Alexander said while the ministry is taking steps to address the issue of illegal drones, specific details could not yet be disclosed.

He however remained tight-lipped about the technology being considered to combat illegal drones smuggling items into correctional facilities.
