Security at the Piarco International Airport has received a noticeable upgrade as a joint team of heavily armed tactical police and sniffer dogs has been deployed to prevent any upsurge in crime at the facility.
The initiative was announced during a brief launch at the airport’s VIP Lounge yesterday afternoon, where Police Commissioner Allister Guevarro said the heightened security presence would go a long way towards securing a critical piece of this country’s travel infrastructure.
