The Trinidad & Tobago Police Service says it has detained two law enforcement officials as it continues to make significant inroads in dismantling criminal networks.
The police say the two were among three suspects detained on Thursday under Preventative Detention Orders, issued in accordance with the Emergency Powers Regulations, 2025 under the existing state of emergency.
According to the police, the coordinated intelligence-led operation was executed across the Port of Spain, North Eastern, and Northern divisions, and “acting under the authority of the State of Emergency, members of the Special Investigations Unit successfully served and executed three Preventative Detention Orders.”
The TTPS said all detainees were processed and taken into custody.
Among the three detainees are two members of law enforcement – one a police officer and the other a prison Officer.
Police Commissioner Allister Guevarro said the exercise underscores the strength of the TTPS's intelligence apparatus and its capacity to act decisively against those seeking to destabilize the country.
More than 160 people have been detained since the SoE was imposed in July after the police said they had uncovered a plot to destablise the country.
