Amalgamated Security Services Limited sponsored a self-defense class on Feb 27th, 2021 which was conducted specifically for the residence of Heights of Aripo. This class became necessary due to the fear of crime that gripped the small community after the spate of criminality that ended up in their area.
The class was conducted by Master Stokey Clarke of ASSL and was held at the St. Jude’s RC School in the Heights of Aripo school auditorium from 3 pm to 5 pm. He showed the participants key areas on the human body that are very vulnerable to attacks and based on this knowledge how they can escape imminent danger. The self-defense class was well attended by villagers who expressed their gratitude to Amalgamated Security Services Ltd. for being there and taking the time to host such a memorable and much desirable undertaking.

Amalgamated Security Services participated in the Nature Seekers 2021 beach clean-up which occurred over one week from 28th February to the 7th March 2021. This main purpose was to remove trash and debris from the beaches and waterways along the 8 mile Matura beach stretch. Due to covid regulations such as ten (10) ASSL employees participated, we took a holistic approach and applied our motto “For Total Protection” to not only security but the environment as well. Over the week of clean up activities, the total number of garbage collected was 250 bags
This location was chosen because the Matura Beach turtle nesting site is particularly significant for the endangered leatherback sea turtle who returns to these shores annually to lay their eggs. It is imperative for us as responsible social corporate citizens to care for nature and our wildlife. In addition to caring for the environment, we also made donations to this NGO of over 500 face masks, hand sanitizers, and garbage bags to ensure a clean and safe environment is maintained for the turtles as well as the villagers.

As a proud corporate citizen Amalgamated Security value the fact that we are strategically located in most communities throughout Trinidad and Tobago and as such we jump to any opportunity to support our vulnerable communities.
The Chinapoo Village Police youth club located the Morvant/ Lavantille district normal host an annual Christmas party, however due to the restrictions cause by the COVID-19 global pandemic hampers comprising of food stuff were instead distributed to families who are most in need within the district. A total of 24 hampers and 20 bag packs were distributed. This drive began on Friday 11th December and continued well into the festive Christmas season.
Amalgamated Security humbly agreed to assist this organization by offsetting some of the costs associated with putting together these hampers. This partnership with the Police Youth Club was indeed a great one as many families received groceries that they may not have otherwise received.

Amalgamated Security continues to be a pioneer and champion the cause to ensure every child is given the same opportunity to access virtual classes which resulted from the Covid-19 Pandemic. On December 30th, 2020 ASSL presented one hundred (100) devices to the Ministry of National Security’s Office of Law Enforcement Policy (OLEP) at the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service Training Academy, St. James. This was done as a part of the “No Child Left Behind” Programme.
This programme was recently initiated by the Minister of National Security, the Honourable Stuart R. Young M.P; which was created to improve the quality of life of communities in the East Port of Spain district and to ensure that children in need from these communities are provided with the necessary equipment to access virtual learning.
The “No Child Left Behind” programme through OLEP partnered with the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) Hearts and Minds Programme, to identify students in the East Port of Spain district, from primary to tertiary stage, who are in need of devices to facilitate virtual learning.
