Officials of the Ministry of Education met on Monday (25th April 2022) with the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS), the National Parent Teacher Association (NPTA), the Trinidad and Tobago Unified Teachers Association (TTUTA) and the Association of Principals of Public Secondary Schools (APPSS) to discuss the role of Community Police Officers in the reduction of school violence.
In a Media Release on Thursday (28th April 2022), the Ministry said, “The public is advised that based on the request of the Ministry of Education, the TTPS has already instituted increased patrols at fifteen (15) schools, focusing on maintaining a presence at, and in the vicinity of these schools; especially at the end of the school day.” Additionally, the TTPS has instituted daily school patrols to ensure the presence of Officers within these schools during the school day. The Ministry said both measures will ensure that these schools receive increased and sustained Police presence daily, “in an effort to maintain law and order among students.” The Ministry and the TTPS have also agreed that students who commit acts of violence, within or outside of the school compound, will be reported to the TTPS for further investigation and action, including those involved in altercations during the period 19th April 2022 to present. The Ministry added, “These school measures have been implemented while the inter-ministerial committee compiles its report, focusing on the updating of the existing school discipline matrix and the incorporation of activities to encourage positive behavioural choices in students, such as the promotion of youth clubs, student engagement, peer mediation, mentorship, parent clubs, etc., into the regular school timetable.” We are a small operation.
