Police Commissioner Allister Guevarro says he has proposed the introduction of a police cadet programme in secondary schools, which he hopes will address school indiscipline while providing a positive outlet for young people.
Speaking with Guardian Media after volunteering to speak with children at the Laventille Open Bible Church in Success Village, Laventille, on Saturday, Guevarro said he submitted the proposal to the Government as part of a wider suite of community-based crime-fighting initiatives.
He said the programme would be similar to the Cadet Force currently operated by the T&T Defence Force, but with a specific focus on “leadership, policing, and law-enforcement type skills.”
