TTPS Welcomes VerifyTT Initiative As Major Step In Digital Transformation
The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) has endorsed the launch of VerifyTT, a digital credentialing platform developed by the National Information and Communication Technology Company Limited (iGovTT), as a significant advancement in the country’s digital transformation agenda.
The official launch of VerifyTT took place on Wednesday 22nd April, 2026 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, bringing together key national and international stakeholders to explore the platform’s role in strengthening the country’s Digital Public Infrastructure.
Speaking on the initiative, the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Intelligence and Investigations, Natasha George, underscored the importance of the collaboration between the TTPS and iGovTT. “From an intelligence and investigative perspective, VerifyTT strengthens the State’s capacity to authenticate identity, safeguard data integrity, and enhance the reliability of information systems that support both operational Policing and broader public service delivery,” the Deputy Commissioner stated.
The VerifyTT platform facilitates the secure issuance, storage, and verification of digital credentials, improving trust, efficiency, and accessibility in interactions between citizens and public institutions.
In a Media Release today (Thursday 30th April, 2026), the TTPS said, “A key operational benefit for the TTPS will be realized in the Certificate of Character process, which has traditionally relied on manual systems. Through integration with VerifyTT, the TTPS is advancing toward fully digitized application and verification processes, reduced processing times, improved fraud detection, and greater accessibility for citizens, including remote users.”
The initiative is aligned with the Government’s strategic objective of establishing a secure, efficient, and citizen-centric digital environment. It also supports a broader transition toward data-driven Policing, where accurate, real-time information enhances decision-making, investigations, and national security outcomes.
The TTPS notes that the partnership with iGovTT “ensures that these advancements are supported by resilient ICT infrastructure, strong data governance, and secure interoperability across State systems, critical components for modern law enforcement. For the TTPS, the adoption of VerifyTT will also strengthen investigative integrity, improve operational efficiency, and reinforce public trust through increased transparency and accountability.”
The Media Release concluded by saying, “At a national level, the initiative represents a firm commitment to building a modern digital State capable of responding effectively to evolving security challenges while supporting economic growth and innovation.”
