THE Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) says the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) games being held in this country will be safe as the TTPS is deploying several specialised units to boost security.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Wayne Mystar said a “comprehensive risk assessment had been taken into consideration” for the CPL games, which will take place from today to September 3 at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba.

Speaking at a news conference at the Police Administration Building in Port of Spain yesterday, he said the TTPS had identified and prepared for a variety of scenarios, including “crimes against persons, public disturbances or riots, acts of terrorism or disruptive activities, medical emergencies and natural disasters, road traffic incidents, (and) firearm-related incidents”.
