With just over three weeks to go before the new academic school year begins, the Government has announced that police officers will be assigned to schools across the country.
The plan evolved in a meeting yesterday between Education Minister Dr Michael Dowlath, Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexander and Commissioner of Police (CoP) Allister Guevarro at Education Towers on St Vincent Street, Port-of -Spain.
Last month, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar announced that a list of high-risk schools would be sent to the police to initiate a plan for police protection for students at these institutions from the start of the new school term in September. This announcement set the stage for further developing the plan.
