Commissioner Griffith pledged that the TTPS, in collaboration with the Ministry of National Security, will continue to implement specific measures to ensure all Venezuelan citizens and interests are protected. He also assured the Ambassador that there will be continued intelligence sharing on anti-crime initiatives.
