GOVERNMENT is making moves to introduce police officers in schools across the nation. However the police officers would not be armed with guns, but non-lethal weapons to ensure the security and safety of the students.

The move was announced by Minister of Education Dr Michael Dowlath at the post-cabinet media conference at the Diplomatic Centre in Port of Spain on September 4.

Dowlath said the initiative was spearheaded by the collaborative efforts of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Homeland Security.
