Official Descriptions of Aid to Trinidad and Tobago
Document: Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs Program and Budget Guide, Fiscal Year 2010
Program: International Narcotics Control Economic Aid
FY 2010 Program Money Laundering The GOTT lacks the expertise to create and implement effective anti-money laundering policies. FY 2010 funds will support technical expertise and training provided by the CFATF to assist the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago. This will help the GOTT to fully implement all of the CFATF recommendations to combat terrorist financing as well as support the GOTT’s efforts to adopt and implement financing regulations preventing a rapidly growing economy from becoming a safe haven for money launderers. Demand Reduction This program will provide training to organizations that give youth alternatives to criminal activities and support for GOTT re-integration and rehabilitation efforts.

Program: International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement
Program Objectives and Performance Indicators
Improve mobility, communications and technical operations for Government of Trinidad and Tobago's (GOTT) law enforcement agencies.
- Increased drug seizures and number and the number of arrests of narcotics traffickers.
Program Justification
As a result of Venezuela's lack of cooperation with the U.S., there has been an increase in the transshipment of cocaine and heroin to Trinidad and Tobago, via Venezuela. The majority of the cocaine that arrives on Trinidad is via commercial vessels, sailing vessels and small fishing vessels, in amounts upwards of several thousand kilogram quantities. These loads are generally coordinated by organized Colombian and Venezuelan drug trafficking organizations, and are often facilitated and protected by members of the Venezuelan military. The cocaine is then stored and broken up into smaller loads for smuggling into the U.S., Canada and Europe. The GOTT has faced an escalation in violent crime fueled by the Colombian drugs-for-arms trade.
The key U.S. policy objective is to assist the GOTT to eliminate the flow of illegal drugs through Trinidad and Tobago to the United States. Joint efforts focus on strengthening the GOTT's ability to detect and interdict drug shipments, bring traffickers and other criminals to trial, attack money laundering, and counter drug-related corruption. U.S. funding will support the enhancement of the Special Anti-Narcotics Unit, by providing the necessary training and technical support to ensure the increased seizures of drugs. Funding to support operations of the Organized Crime Narcotics and Firearms Bureau will help increase seizures of various types of illicit drugs and disruption of the drug trade.
Program Accomplishments
As a result of joint operations with foreign law enforcement counterparts, there were 51 drug trafficking arrests from January to September 2008. Based on local investigations and data collection, as of October 31, 2008, inside the territory of Trinidad and coastal waters, the GOTT had unofficially seized approximately 141 kilograms (kg) of cocaine, over 27 kg of heroin and almost 3,711 kg of cannabis in various forms.
The Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard (TTCG), the Organized Crime and Narcotics Unit, Counter Drug and Crime Task Force, and the Special Anti Crime Unit of Trinidad and Tobago (SAUTT) and other specialized police/military units continued drug interdiction and eradication operations throughout 2008, destroying in excess of 168,700 fully-grown marijuana plants in several exercises. The DEA and U.S. Customs and Border Protection assisted with several of these joint exercises. The country has purchased technical equipment to augment human resources. Retired Scotland Yard officers continue to work alongside GOTT law enforcement agents as ""on-the-job mentors"" and to provide support for the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF), which has its secretariat in Port of Spain.
FY 2010 Program
Interdiction/Law Enforcement
Due to porous borders and lack of resources, commercial shipments can pose a threat to security in Trinidad and Tobago, as well as provide an entry for illegal drugs. FY 2010 funds will provide cargo scanners to enhance GOTT capabilities to protect against these threats using existing law enforcement personnel resources. Funds will also be used to help support a canine unit on Tobago to assist with detection of contraband at the Scarborough seaport and the Crown Point airport, which has expanded to allow more international flights on a daily basis.
FY2010 funds will also support training and technical assistance to GOTT's counter- drug/crime units, including the Police, Defense Force, and SAUTT to improve their capability to conduct interdiction operations on land and at sea. Additionally, funds will support training and information sharing from judicialized electronic surveillance operations and to enable GOTT law enforcement authorities to attend a Drug Commanders Conference.
Document: FY 2010 Congressional Budget Justification for Foreign Operations
Trinidad and Tobago is a leader in the Caribbean. It is the Caribbean Community's (CARICOM) economic driving force and its security lead, and it is an important player in regional and U.S. energy security. As such, it is essential that Trinidad and Tobago be able to withstand the destabilizing forces of narcotics trafficking and illicit trade in weapons and other goods in order to continue moving the region towards greater prosperity and heightened security awareness. U.S. foreign assistance to the country, therefore, focuses on several key goals: monitoring and seeking inhibit transnational crime, preventing any nexus with radicals inside or outside its borders; transforming the security forces to counter more efficiently the growing national and transnational crime threat; leveraging aspirations for the Government of Trinidad and Tobago (GOTT) to play a larger role in regional drug interdiction and overall Caribbean security; and protecting the nation's energy and tourism infrastructure.
Peace and Security: The United States will focus on the development of an efficient, professional military and police forces dedicated to the rule of law, an increased level of accountability and inter-agency cooperation, and improved maritime safety and patrols. U.S. strategies will focus on strengthening the GOTT's ability to detect and interdict drug shipments, bring traffickers and other criminals to trial, attack money laundering, and combat drug-related corruption. Programs will provide Trinidadian law enforcement organizations with training, technical assistance, equipment and vehicles in support of their general counternarcotics and anti-terrorism efforts. Specific training and technical advice include witness protection, crime scene investigation, evidence handling, terrorism detection, and narcotics interdiction. U.S. programs also will improve education and employment possibilities for persons at risk for involvement in illegal drug use and criminal behavior by supporting job skill training, educational equipment and classes, and early development programs.
Security assistance will enhance Trinidad and Tobago Defense Force’s ability to secure its national territory, to develop its maritime interdiction capabilities, and increase its capacity to conduct counter-terrorism operations. Specific programs include training in counter-terrorism force protection, crisis command and improvised exploding device (IED) ordinance. Funds also would provide equipment needed to enhance border patrol and narcotic interdiction capabilities.

Policy Initiatives. To assist the GOTT to eliminate the flow of illegal drugs through Trinidad and Tobago to the United States, U.S. efforts focus on strengthening the GOTT's ability to detect and interdict drug shipments, bring traffickers and other criminals to trial, attack money laundering, and counter drug-related corruption. The U.S. also seeks to strengthen the GOTT's administration of justice by providing training and technical assistance to help streamline Trinidad and Tobago's judicial process, reduce court backlogs, and protect witnesses from intimidation and murder.
Bilateral Cooperation. In 2008, the USG continued to support Trinidad's recently established Drug Detection Canine Academy. In addition, the USG offered training classes to both policy makers and tactical law enforcement officials on financial crimes, crime scene investigation, command and control, pollution incident response, damage control, and combating terrorism. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Forensic Document Laboratory (FDL) in conjunction with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) conducted a Document Examination and Intelligent Profiling Course in Port of Spain. This training program enhanced police and border officials' effectiveness in identifying improperly documented passengers destined to the United States and established an ongoing information sharing opportunity with the Government of Trinidad & Tobago. Over the past year, the DEA and its local counterparts have been involved in investigations that led to a significant amount of seizures. However, reporting data is incomplete and the GOTT was not able to provide accurate figures. The GOTT-funded U.S. Customs Advisory Team provided technical assistance to Customs and Excise in tracking and intercepting marine vessels, including cargo container ships.
