The Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice has re­sumed the pro­cess­ing of ap­pli­ca­tions for the Cer­tifi­cate of Char­ac­ter Ser­vice. The re­sump­tion comes on the heels of a dis­rup­tion in ser­vice over the past few weeks which was caused by a sys­tem mal­func­tion. 

The TTPS is ad­vis­ing the pub­lic that there is cur­rent­ly a back­log of CoC ap­pli­ca­tions which is en­gag­ing the at­ten­tion of the Crim­i­nal Records Of­fice to be cleared in the soon­est pos­si­ble time­frame. 

New ap­pli­ca­tions, how­ev­er, are not ex­pect­ed to be im­pact­ed and should be processed with­in a three-week pe­ri­od. 

Ap­pli­cants are re­mind­ed that the ap­pli­ca­tion process be­gins on­line via the TTPS’ Web­site at www.ttps.gov.tt where ap­point­ment dates, times and sta­tions are se­lect­ed to fa­cil­i­tate the process. 

The sus­pen­sion of the walk-in ser­vice, which was dis­con­tin­ued pri­or to the height of the COVID-19 Pan­dem­ic, re­mains in ef­fect. 

The TTPS ex­press­es its ap­pre­ci­a­tion to the pub­lic who ex­er­cised pa­tience and un­der­stand­ing as it re­solved the dis­rup­tion.
