CARNIVAL got off to a safe start with an incident free J’Ouvert celebrations on Monday morning.
The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) in a media release on Monday reported that J’Ouvert celebrations across all ten Divisions were safe and secure.
Commissioner of Police Erla Christopher, said she was extremely pleased with the combined efforts of all 10 Divisions in ensuring that there were no major incidents or SRCs and that revellers and spectators were kept safe during the morning’s activities.
She said the meticulous planning and preparations, training and ramped up anti-crime and road traffic exercises, such as Operation Grand Slam and SOCA, in the lead up to Carnival 2023, have delivered expected results.
Christopher, who joined officers in their duty in Port-of-Spain on Monday, said officers will continue their heightened presence and anti-crime operations across the country over the next two days to ensure the entire Carnival period remains safe.
