Senior Reporter[email protected]Since officers of the School-Oriented Policing Unit were assigned to schools across Trinidad and Tobago last September, 33 students have been arrested for various offences, police reported yesterday. According to Soodeen, the data covers the period from September 2025 to January 28, 2026. “Vaping is one of the most common infractions across schools, indicating a growing trend among students that requires health intervention,” Soodeen said. “Sexual misconduct cases, while limited, demand immediate referral to specialised units and counselling support.”Asked whether the number of schools assigned officers should be increased, or whether additional officers should be deployed to specific schools, Soodeen said such decisions fall under the purview of the Ministry of Education. “We are observing that school indiscipline incidents are moving away from the school precincts and taking place outside,” he said.
