Bomb Threats Expose Critical Safety Gap | Trinidad and Tobago News

Trinidad and Tobago braced for chaos as eleven bomb threats erupted across the islands in rapid succession, targeting courts, a shopping plaza, and a government ministry—all within an hour. Emergency services scrambled from Sangre Grande to Point Fortin and Tobago, evacuating and securing sites before police bomb technicians cleared them. But here’s the twist: the Fire Service, crucial for initial response, has no active bomb-trained personnel—certifications expired, staff retired, and the last training was back in 2006. With no funding for refresher courses, they’re now sidelined, relying entirely on police for technical searches. Despite the alarming gap, yesterday’s response held strong—with no devices found and investigations underway—officials urge the public to stay alert and follow instructions.
