T&T declares State of Emergency - 18th July 2025

[K74T]

The Government of Trinidad and Tobago has declared a State of Emergency following confirmation of a coordinated and dangerous criminal network operating from within the nation’s prison system.

The move follows a formal recommendation from Commissioner of Police Allister Guevarro, who cited credible intelligence that incarcerated individuals are leveraging internal and external connections to orchestrate attacks on senior police officers, judicial figures, personnel within the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, and prison officers.

Officials say the campaign is structured and involves multiple criminal elements working in concert, with a level of planning and execution that surpasses the capability of conventional law enforcement responses.

A key enabler of the threat has been the illegal trafficking of mobile phones into prisons by compromised insiders, allowing encrypted communications between inmates and outside operatives. The funding for these operations has reportedly come from a range of violent and organised crimes, including high-value robberies, armed home invasions, kidnapping, extortion, and the exploitation of state-funded programmes and contracts.

Given the severity of the threat, the State of Emergency will empower law enforcement agencies to immediately contain the situation, boost inter-agency coordination, and access the necessary resources and authority to disrupt and neutralise the criminal network. However, no curfew has been imposed at this time.

A specialised Threat Response Group comprising various arms of the protective services has been established with a specific mandate to dismantle the network. An emergency briefing was held on the night of July 17 with the Prime Minister and Attorney General, leading to the swift execution of containment measures, including the strategic relocation of high-risk inmates to disrupt command structures.

Law enforcement has already begun targeted overt and covert operations which will continue until the threat is neutralised.

The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service has assured the public that it remains committed to protecting the country’s democratic institutions and the safety of all citizens. Authorities are urging the public to remain calm, cooperate with law enforcement, and report any suspicious activity.

You know that really isn't an issue .

The police have their jobs

The lawyers have theirs.

Lemme give an example.


Police could know a gang leader planning certain things but these fellas so smart they know to compartmentalize things....they tell one man the plan....who then organises everything and carries it out.

The police may have illegal wire taps....informants.....

Information that they know for a fact but they can't legally use it.


They could study the law and not act on it knowing that when it comes down to court the state will have to pay millions....


Or they could do police work and deal with the threat and let the lawyers deal with whatever down the line.

Currently there are no formal entry requirements into the SRP, and to think 800 of them going be permanent asking for your licence and can't read it.
Then again they might make minister in time to come

Like an invasion attacking the country .
Not a crime gang.
How is checking id and roadblock in moruga stopping crime in.the jail ?


The only real measure they want is the ability to invade without warrant and detain without reasonable suspicion , at will

[pugboy]

correct, these gang bosses never do dirty work
they have employees who are enslaved to them
guys who they would pay their lawyer bills and have them owing for life

An OP, add poll pls like previous soe thread pls

[snowman]

The former government should post every quote the new government had back then with regards to their last SOE.

Seems like crime situation is a culture thing and not based on which color is in government.

Police "controlling the streets" coming soon

*walks off like xander*

[one eye]

Alexander has served the TTPS for over 30 years, how can he not be aware of a coordinated and dangerous criminal network operating from within the nation’s prison system?

Another SOE with the help of the TTDF, we need to get rid of the TTDF.

Yes snowman it is a culture not any government's fault.

Lol allyuh good we.

As if crime wasn’t bad enough to call a proper SOE before.

As if they already don’t know who are the high dangerous criminal networks operating in and out of jails.

What will this distract us from?

Will this be another SOE with no curfew? I doubt though because the last Gov t did this, so we know how it goes…do everything the opposite.

Could this be a mamaguy to show the public how well they can handle a situation like this? Comes like staging a robbery in front your family to be the hero lol

But again, i have asked…..what is the crime plan?

What has been put in place to handle situations as these.

Our great and competent TTPS will handle this well.

[snowman]

Never forget.

Yeh boi Merz,

Garindra always have the solution and bragging about all he did…yet still there was NO significant reduction in crime under his tenure.

But he right tho, not about what all the great things he thought he did, but the manner in which the Govt conducted themselves.

As usual, criminals whatsapp hot and sweaty this morning…….all the drugs and guns done hide and they know who and where they shaking down.

Really a set of jokers yes.

The TTPS and TTDF are too corrupt and incapable of doing a proper SOE more so for any organized exercise.

Seek foreign assistance.
