The Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) says no au­tho­ri­sa­tion has been grant­ed for a pro­posed “Walk for Peace” sched­uled for Port of Spain to­day.

Deputy Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice, Op­er­a­tions, Suzette Mar­tin, said the TTPS is aware of a fly­er cir­cu­lat­ing on so­cial me­dia pro­mot­ing the event, which is sched­uled to be­gin at 3 pm.

In a state­ment, Mar­tin said while the TTPS sup­ports ini­tia­tives aimed at pro­mot­ing peace and re­duc­ing vi­o­lence, pub­lic gath­er­ings, march­es, pro­ces­sions and as­sem­blies re­main sub­ject to le­gal re­quire­ments, se­cu­ri­ty as­sess­ments and op­er­a­tional con­sid­er­a­tions, par­tic­u­lar­ly as the coun­try re­mains un­der a State of Emer­gency.
