00:00The Tobago Division says building stronger relationships with communities remains a key part of its policing strategy.
00:07Speaking at a media briefing on Wednesday, Assistant Superintendent Mahalia Bacchus said officers continue to engage residents through community meetings,
00:16school visits, youth programs, and partnerships with community groups, churches, and businesses across the island.
00:24And the division remains committed to building stronger relationships with the communities that we serve throughout the island.
00:34Among the ongoing initiatives is a bicycle riding camp being held at the Shervan Road Police Station in collaboration with
00:42the Tobago House of Assembly.
00:44Police say the program goes beyond cycling, exposing participants to lessons on topics including self-esteem, nutrition, and other life
00:53skills.
00:55With tourism remaining a major pillar of Tobago's economy, officers are also maintaining high-visibility patrols at beaches, heritage sites,
01:04and other popular attractions.
01:06Police say the aim is to reassure residents and visitors alike while enhancing safety throughout the tourism sector.
01:14These patrols intend to reassure the residents, as well as our visitors, whilst enhancing safety within the tourism sector.

01:30October Carnival.
01:31We encourage persons to come to Tobago.
01:34It is one of the safest places throughout Trinidad and Tobago which remain.
01:38And we urge you, and we urge you, the October Carnival is coming up, and it will be one of
01:44the safest carnivals that you can attend in throughout the year, 2026.
01:50Kirk also reminded the public that safety remains a shared responsibility, urging residents and visitors alike to remain vigilant and
