The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) increases mobile and foot patrols around banks as people go to change old $100 currency for new ones.

A release from the TTPS stated that Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith said Emergency Response, Task Force and Divisional Patrols were taking place across the nine Policing Divisions to provide greater levels of safety and comfort, as people go about transacting their business at commercial banks.

The release stated, “Commissioner Griffith’s assurance comes as concerns are being raised by members of the public about long lines outside banks, where customers are seeking to turn in the old bills for the new $100 notes.

“The CoP says the TTPS is aware that criminal elements may want to target unsuspecting persons in the lines at banks, and he is giving an assurance that police officers are out in full force to safeguard members of the public, as they go about transacting their business at various commercial banks.”
