Billboards for missing persons, pepper spray to help victims of attacks
To encourage public assistance and interaction to unravel the mystery of missing persons reports, the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) will post billboards bearing the pictures of those in the reports at supermarkets and other agencies.
Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith said that system of billboard advertising has been used in the United States in large chain superstores such as Walmart, and has proven to be effective.
In making the announcement at the TTPS media briefing on Tuesday, Griffith has already contacted the management of Massy Stores, Tru Value Limited, Xtra Foods and others which attract heavy foot traffic to place the billboards.
However, Griffith said over 50 per cent of missing persons reports are in the age group 15 to 19 years old.
