PRESS RELEASE
FROM THE TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS
BORDER FORCE
Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands – Wednesday, 2 April 2025: The Turks and Caicos Border Force has launched an anonymous tip hotline on its website, borderforce.gov.tc. The public can now anonymously and directly report any customs or immigration offences and suspicious activity to our Intelligence Unit. Offences include but not limited to bribery and collusion, human trafficking, smuggling, fraudulent evasion, unlawful entry and harbouring. When making a report, individuals are encouraged to be as detailed as possible, including dates, locations, descriptions, and other relevant information.
The public is advised that while social media can raise awareness, vague reports online do not provide the necessary details for action to be taken. Instead, members of the public are encouraged to report customs and immigration offences through our official and secure channels such as the tipline. By using the correct channels, the public can make a real impact in ensuring our borders are safeguarded, and our nation’s prosperity is protected.
“Border Force guarantees confidentiality and anonymity for those reporting potential violations,” says Director General, Emilio Seymour. “Anonymous social media posts with limited information cannot be investigated properly. By using our official reporting channels, people can ensure their concerns are addressed effectively.”
Our priority is to protect our borders and uphold the law, but we need the public’s help in the right way. To report a suspected customs or immigration offence, contact:
For all media enquiries, please contact crilightbourne@gov.tc.
