COMMISSIONER of Police Allister Guevarro is praising the men and women of the TTPS, as he said improved intelligence-gathering coupled with honest, hard police work – and not the state of emergency (SoE) – were what led to the drastic decline in murders and serious crime.

The TTPS said that the year 2025 concluded with a landmark achievement in public safety with 369 murders being recorded – the lowest in over ten years.

This 42 per cent decline from the previous figure of 626 murders in 2024, marked a significant turning point for the nation, which spent most of 2025 under the shadow of two states of emergency.
