In my capacity as Commissioner of Police (Ag.), it<br />

is hoped that through this medium and other<br />

on-going initiatives to improve relations with<br />

citizens and stakeholder communities, public<br />

trust and confidence in the Trinidad and Tobago<br />

Police Service (<strong>TTPS</strong>) will be regained. This new<br />

magazine, the <strong>TTPS</strong> Quarterly, is reflective of our<br />

commitment to good governance, transparency and<br />

accountability.<br />

The articles and stories are informative and should bring a<br />

greater level of understanding of the changing dynamics of<br />

policing in Trinidad and Tobago and the wider Caribbean;<br />

and in so doing, prompt collaborative opportunities that<br />

lead to safer homes and communities.<br />

The model of policing that has proven effective is one in<br />

which there is heavy community involvement, which is<br />

matched with proactive, responsive, professional and<br />

sensitive policing.<br />

In addition to our town and station council meetings as<br />

well as routine face-to-face, on the ground interactions<br />

with citizens, this latest platform will further enhance<br />

communication and will take us closer to our mission<br />

which states ‘in partnership with the citizens of Trinidad<br />

and Tobago, we provide for safe and secure communities<br />

and other places through professional policing, focused<br />

leadership and consistent, high quality service’.<br />

This magazine will no doubt prove to be an interesting read<br />

for which constructive criticism is welcomed.<br />
