The Police Service launched its Diplomatic Security Unit at the St Clair Police Station on Friday, designed to protect members of the Diplomatic Corps while reinforcing T&T’s position as the Caribbean’s diplomatic capital.

Speaking at the launch of the TTPS’ Diplomatic Security Unit on Friday, Minister of Homeland Security Roger Alexander said this specialised unit is focused on safeguarding foreign diplomats in the country.

“To our diplomatic community, let us reassure you: the Government of Trinidad and Tobago remains committed to your safety and security. We intend to protect you by any lawful means necessary. We cannot allow criminals to create fear. We cannot allow gangs and organised crime to weaken our nation. And we will not ever allow anyone to interfere with the peace of our diplomatic corps.”
