Police Cyber Crime Unit (CCU) Launched in Trinidad
Joseph’s murder is being investigated by the TT Police Cyber Crime Unit (CCU) which has been operating for the past ten months.
Acting Police Commissioner James Philbert said while this was the first time most people were hearing about the CCU, the unit has been “involved in activities”.
“Now that the office has been located and established…It is staffed by people qualified in information technology and they are resourced with equipment to do analysis in IT systems,” Philbert said.
He said the CCU was established because of the importance of cyber in crime detection. He said it was vitally important that the police specialise in the way that they dealt with crime.
Philbert said crime was now more sophisticated and now involved the internet which has motivated the police to move in that direction.
He said anything that dealt with IT came under the purview of the CCU which had international connections, including a link with Interpol.
“The Cyber Crime Unit is not just dealing with Gail Joseph’s murder, it is any crime that involves IT, any crime that has surfaced and has been sent to us,” Philbert said.

Pretty good post. I just found your site and wanted to say
that I have really liked reading your blog posts. Anyway
I’ll be subscribing to your blog and I hope you write again soon!
While we’re at it, what about making it a law to ban blocked numbers on home phones and cell phones. What about tracing and monitoring via satellite or other technology in this tiny island nation of ours? A lot more crimes are carried out using cell phones. Most of them using BMobile; no one should be allowed to block their number! I’d like to know which of these benighted jackals in this country can use computers to commit their most heinous crimes–the anonymous cell phones are the tool. I blame TSTT for this. Maybe the CCU can work with TSTT…
