About the – Prison Officers’ Association
The Prison Officers’ Association was established in 1967 by the then Finance Minister, Dr. Eric Williams, who recognized the need for a representative body to secure the rights and entitlements of prison officers at the time. Many may not know that the original name of the Association was actually the Prison Service Association. Like its name, the Association itself has evolved over the past 58 years into a formidable driving force, serving as a strong and consistent voice for our officers.
The goal of the Association has always been, and continues to be, to achieve a better standard of living for our members. We strive to ensure that our members are able to access the tools and benefits they need to carry out their duties as officers, as well as their responsibilities at home as providers.
Over the years, through the commitment of successive executive bodies, the Association has successfully built strong bonds and partnerships with many organizations. The most recent of these, which we are proud to announce, is with the Trinidad and Tobago Mortgage Bank. As an executive, we look forward to walking hand in hand into a bright and prosperous future, where our members are able to access housing opportunities and other benefits provided by the TTMB.
