“Developing relationships with caring and supportive<br />
people through mentoring is the key tool through<br />
which we can help young people realize their dreams.<br />
The promise of a generation depends on our efforts to<br />
reconnect these young people to education and<br />
opportunities.” (Melody Barnes)<br />
Snr. Supt., Carlton Alleyne<br />
I am convinced, based on my experience in the Trinidad<br />
and Tobago Police Service (<strong>TTPS</strong>), having worked in<br />
severely challenged communities, touching the<br />
heart to influence the minds of our young people by<br />
what we do and how included we make them feel,<br />
will develop a sense of self confidence, motivation,<br />
discipline, responsibility and the capacity to deal<br />
more effectively with mistakes. One of the features<br />
of the <strong>TTPS</strong> Hearts and Mind programme is helping<br />
young people to be resilient, believe in themselves<br />
and to overcome adversity.<br />
