As Trinidad and Tobago celebrates its independence today, Commissioner of Police (CoP) Allister Guevarro is paying tribute to female officers who have helped build and shape the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS).

In a media release yesterday, Guevarro recalled that in 1955, 12 women entered a service that had never before known their presence.

“They did so without precedent, without a road already built, and often without the welcome they deserved,” he said.
