Description: Vision:'The Premier Financial Institution for every Member.'Mission:'We are the Premier Financial Institution committed to sustaining the trust, confidence and well-being of our membership through superior products, service excellence and a highly empowered team of Management and Staff.'A Brief History:The Trinidad & Tobago Police Service Credit Union was established on the 12th October 1956 at the Police Headquarters, Port of Spain, with the intention that all members of the 'force' as it was then called, would be eligible for membership.The Credit Union owes its existence to the inability of Police officers to obtain loans from other lending institutions because the Police Ordinance Chapter II No. 1 protected Police Officers from being sued. Out of this untenable situation the idea of the Credit Union emerged to assist Police Officers to meet their financial needs.Structure:The supreme authority of the Credit Union lies ""in the hands of the members collectively at a properly constituted General meeting hed annually and which gives each member present the right to vote on all matters properly brought up before the meeting. The Board of Directors, Executive Committee, Supervisory Committee and Education Committee together form the strong structural foundation of our Society.
