With origins dating back to the 1830s and the introduction of the British legal system, the Municipal Police Service boasts a rich history. From Cedros to Toco, these services were established in key villages, each under the guidance of a sergeant, corporal, and two constables. They undertook a variety of roles, from operating horse-drawn fire engines and serving as postmen to impounding feral goats, tasks that continued until the Trinidad and Tobago Fire Service was formed in the 1950s.
In 2014, a significant transformation occurred when fourteen (14) Municipal Police Services were amalgamated into one (1) unified organization, officially named the Trinidad and Tobago Municipal Police Service (TTMPS). This consolidation ensured a more coordinated and effective approach to community safety. Today, every Borough, City, and Regional Corporation benefits from the dedicated team of municipal police, working together seamlessly towards creating safer communities.
Mr. Surrendra Sagramsingh stands as a stalwart figure in law enforcement, with an illustrious career spanning over four decades in the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service. Currently heading the Trinidad and Tobago Municipal Police Service (TTMPS) as its esteemed Head, he brings a wealth of experience and leadership to the position.
Mr. Sagramsingh’s journey within the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service culminated in his role as Senior Superintendent of Police, where he served with distinction as the Divisional Commander of the North Eastern Division. His dedicated service and exceptional leadership earned him numerous accolades and promotions throughout his tenure.
Professionally qualified and internationally trained, Mr. Sagramsingh holds qualifications in Academic Criminal Justice, Anti-Corruption, Business Process Management, Change Management, and Leadership Development. Notably, he completed programs with prestigious institutions such as the United States Department of State, KPMG, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Penn State Justice and Safety Institute, and the Arthur Lok Jack Graduate School of Business.
