PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Officials from the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) International Training Team are conducting a five-day workshop for local law enforcement agencies.
A statement from the United States Embassy here said that the DEA is being assisted by the DEA Port of Spain Country Office and that the local law enforcement agencies will learn best practices in global drug trafficking trends, intelligence, telecommunications, document exploitation, basic first aid, interview techniques, and critical thinking from the Washington, DC-based training team.
“I am proud to announce this important initiative from DEA. Improving citizen security depends on securing convictions—which in turn depends on the professionalism and integrity of intelligence collection and analysis law enforcement agencies deploy,” said U.S. Ambassador Candace Bond.
“The Embassy of the United States of America continues to work with, and provides significant security assistance just like this training, to Trinidad and Tobago law enforcement and other national security agencies to support efforts to address crime and violence and to make Trinidad and Tobago safer for all of us,” she added.
