Member countries of the Regional Security System (RSS) are now discussing how they can help Trinidad and Tobago with its security arrangements for the Fifth Summit of the Americas.
The members are meeting in Basseterre, St Kitts.
The RSS Council of Ministers said the discussions are aimed at ensuring the safety of the delegations.
US President Barack Obama is among heads of state and government due to participate in the summit in Port of Spain from April 17 to 19.
Authorities in Port of Spain have said they are working with Interpol in a bid to keep career rioters and professional protesters away from the summit.
A police spokesman said they wanted the international police organization to help the local national security services identify groups and individuals who enter countries during such events to protest and upset public order.
