Port of Spain: Further to the Media Release disseminated earlier today, informing the national community on the use of private security firms to conduct mobile patrols in residential districts, the Ministry of National Security wishes to advise that the patrols being provided by the private security firms, have no additional powers outside of their normal powers as private security officers, performing private neighbourhood patrols.
These patrols are being instituted after consultation with the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS), and within all the parameters of the law.
