PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement (INL) has signed two program implementation letters with the Judicial Office of Research and Technical Training (JORTT) and the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service for the implementation of Case Activity Data Systems (CADS).
In a statement Tuesday, the US embassy said that the projects are valued at US$50,000 and that the National Center for State Courts (NSCS), as part of the INL Caribbean Anti-Crime Programme, will implement the two projects.
The JORTT project will enhance the case statistical reporting system and aim to improve statistical reporting, strategy and decision-making, and performance monitoring, while the TTPS project will support the development and implementation of a case tracking, analysis, and data collection system.
Both projects will run through January 2026, with ongoing support from INL through June 2026.
US Ambassador Candace Bond said CADS is “a cornerstone tool for internal infrastructure to support efficient and effective case management, thereby enhancing the overall effectiveness and transparency of the justice and police systems.
“It will also enable comprehensive data collection and statistical analysis, which are critically needed to assess ongoing needs and allocate resources effectively,” she added.
