TTPS Statistics: Reported Murders in Trinidad & Tobago 2013 – 2025
With the TTPS website’s upgrade in the first half of 2026, detailed crime statistics have been made harder to access and understand, possibly deliberately. Thankfully, we have screenshots of the relevant stats, and we provide them here in the public interest. Compare these screenshots with this external, independently acquired January 2026 Archive.org snapshot (click “Table” tab) to verify that the resource did indeed exist in the exact format presented here. Also compare these stats with this CSO table (screenshot). Below the comparison table are the Murders stats that were published on the TTPS website as late as February 2026. Accessing this type of monthly breakdown used to take about three clicks. It has been made much, much harder with the TTPS’ new crime stats dashboard, and some of these stats are now gone.

Original TTPS & CSO Stats vs. New TTPS Stats
2024 – The over two dozen missing victims for this year are especially interesting. Several local and international sources quoted our high murder toll for that year after the then PNM Gov’t declared a State of Emergency on December 30th. See the BBC and CNN. In the BBC article the then Ag. Attorney General gave a figure of 61 homicides for December alone, how is it now only 32? Additionally, in September 2025 our own PM quoted a murder toll of 623 when addressing the UN at the 80th Session of the General Assembly. See her here at about the 2:50 mark.
