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 />
