Dillon: Probe underway into leaked police report

The minister said the combined efforts of members of the protective services made Carnival “relatively safe” for locals and visitors. He explained that all police officers on leave were called out and extra officers were assigned to cover the main areas of Carnival activity in the country such as Port-of-Spain and San Fernando.

Dillon said members of the Reserve Defence Force were assigned to guard duties to allow members of the regular Defence Force to support the police. Dillon also said the Coast Guard increased its maritime patrols in this country’s territorial waters and in certain strategic locations.
