The Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice has warned that “firm and de­ci­sive ac­tion” will be tak­en against any­one who breach­es new­ly pro­claimed fire­works leg­is­la­tion now in force.

In a me­dia re­lease is­sued to­day, the TTPS con­firmed the procla­ma­tion of the Sum­ma­ry Of­fences (Amend­ment) Act No. 13 of 2025 and the Sum­ma­ry Of­fences (Fire­works) Reg­u­la­tions 2025, Le­gal No­tice 466, and ad­vised the pub­lic that the leg­is­la­tion is op­er­a­tional.

“The rules have changed—our re­spon­si­bil­i­ty must change too,” the TTPS said as it urged cit­i­zens to re­frain from the im­prop­er, un­law­ful or un­safe use of fire­works.
