The Congress of the People (COP) has expressed support for the Government’s declaration of a State of Emergency, saying the measure allows broader crime reduction strategies to take root while protecting law-abiding citizens.
In a media release, the party said crime in Trinidad and Tobago has reached a level that requires decisive and systemic intervention.
It said that while long-term solutions must address the root causes of criminal activity, several short-term actions can produce results in the immediate to medium term.
