摘要

警务研究通常是在城市地区进行的，排除了农村地区，这是加勒比地区学术景观的一个特点，那里关于农村警务的文献很少。由于许多警察部门都设在农村地区，因此缺乏关于加勒比地区农村警务的学术研究，这在了解整个警务问题方面存在严重缺陷。由于这一空白，目前进行的研究是为了了解在特立尼达和多巴哥农村警察局工作的警察所面临的挑战和所提供的机会。通过对特立尼达和多巴哥农村警察局的30名（N = 30）警察的半结构化访谈收集数据，并使用与先验现象学相关的过程来分析数据，以回答两个研究问题。调查结果表明，农村警察面临诸多挑战，机会有限。本研究还提出了六个主题，并进行了讨论。

Challenges and opportunities for the rural Cop in Trinidad and Tobago

Research on policing is typically studied in urban areas to the exclusion of rural locales and this is a feature of the academic landscape in the Caribbean where literature on rural policing is sparse. This dearth of scholarship on rural policing in the Caribbean represents a critical deficit in understanding the totality of policing issues as many police departments are located in rural areas. As a result of this lacuna, the current study was conducted to understand the challenges faced, and opportunities afforded to police officers employed at rural police stations in Trinidad and Tobago. Data were gathered via semi-structured interviews with thirty (N = 30) police officers employed at rural police stations in Trinidad and Tobago and processes associated with transcendental phenomenology used to analyze the data in order to answer two research questions. The results indicate a host of challenges as well as limited opportunities for rural police officers. Six themes also emanated from the study and these are discussed.
