Cit­i­zens are be­ing told that they can ex­pect a faster re­sponse time and greater vis­i­bil­i­ty from the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) with the de­ploy­ment of 200 new mo­tor­cy­cles from the Peo­ple’s Re­pub­lic of Chi­na.

Chi­na is one of sev­er­al na­tions in­clud­ing Cana­da, Aus­tralia, New Zealand and the Unit­ed States, that is part­ner­ing with Trinidad and To­ba­go to pro­vide train­ing, tech­nol­o­gy, ca­pac­i­ty build­ing and oth­er types of sup­port, the Of­fice of the Prime Min­is­ter said.

Prime Min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley de­liv­ered the fea­ture ad­dress at to­day’s hand­ing over cer­e­mo­ny at the TTPS Acad­e­my in St James.

He said crime fight­ing and the re­sponse to the crim­i­nal el­e­ment is a mul­ti­fac­eted as­sign­ment and that there is no one of­fice that has the so­lu­tion.

“There are a se­ries of things that need to be done all at once and on a sus­tained ba­sis if safe­ty and se­cu­ri­ty are to be at the lev­el that the pop­u­la­tion re­quires and to bring about the com­fort that the pop­u­la­tion needs,” Dr Row­ley said.

“We see these bikes not as dec­o­ra­tion, not as traf­fic guiders for high of­fi­cials, we see these bikes in the po­lice ser­vice as the abil­i­ty of the of­fi­cers to move quick­ly through com­mu­ni­ties on an on­go­ing ba­sis bring­ing about a re­sponse time which will be sig­nif­i­cant­ly im­proved.”

Fif­teen of­fi­cers re­ceived train­ing in Chi­na on the mo­tor­cy­cles which are equipped with GPS and video tech­nol­o­gy.

Dr Row­ley thanked Chi­na for the do­na­tion and im­plored the TTPS prop­er­ly main­tain the equip­ment.

The mo­tor­cy­cles were hand­ed over to the TTPS giv­ing ef­fect to the pro­vi­sion of Gratis Aid to Trinidad and To­ba­go by the Peo­ple’s Re­pub­lic of Chi­na. Un­der the pro­to­col, the Peo­ple’s Re­pub­lic of Chi­na will pro­vide a range of goods and ser­vices to T&T, for use by T&T as they ex­e­cute their man­date to Aid Civ­il Pow­er and law en­force­ment.
