AS thousands of cricket lovers get ready to descend upon the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, Tarouba, for the 2025 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL), the police said it has activated a robust and well-coordinated security and traffic management plan ahead of the Trinbago Knight Riders’ home fixtures, to ensure fans can safely enjoy the games.

Fans have complained about the traffic before and after past CPL games at the Tarouba venue for a number of years. In the past, a shuttle service was implemented to alleviate the traffic, but this failed to accommodate the large number of fans leaving the venue simultaneously. There will be no shuttles this year.

The 2025 measures were announced during a media briefing at the Police Administration Building in Port of Spain on August 26. ACP Wayne Mystar, WPC Danielle Ambrose-Mitchell of the Southern Division, and Police PRO Michelle Lewis outlined the preparations for the high-profile matches.
