National Security Minister Fitzgerald Hinds attended the first of several meetings with technical advisers and members of the protective services to assess the efficacy of Trinidad and Tobago’s border security measures on Monday.

A media release from the Ministry of National Security reported that Hinds met with the officials at the ministry’s Office of Law Enforcement Policy (OLEP) on London Street, Port of Spain, at the first of a series of meetings expected to continue from September to December.

The team of consultants, dubbed an: Expert Working Group” in the release, is expected to gather and analyse information on the effectiveness of TT’s border security, review the methods of international security agencies and adapt effective measures to TT’s landscape and to draft a plan to achieve effective border control.
