De­spite what he de­scribed as drops in sev­er­al cat­e­gories of crime, in­clud­ing mur­ders, Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Al­lis­ter Gue­var­ro says the suc­cess­es of the TTPS of­ten go un­no­ticed in the face of cyn­i­cal so­cial me­dia users.

Gue­var­ro quot­ed sev­er­al fig­ures from the po­lice Crime and Prob­lem Analy­sis (CA­PA) branch dur­ing his fea­ture ad­dress at Con­ver­sa­tions with the Com­mis­sion­er, a fo­rum at the T&T Cham­ber of Com­merce, West­moor­ings, on Thurs­day morn­ing, where he re­port­ed drops in Se­ri­ous Re­port­ed Crimes (SRCs) and vi­o­lent crimes across sev­er­al po­lice di­vi­sions.

Gue­var­ro re­port­ed that there were 370 mur­ders in 2025, the low­est na­tion­al mur­der toll since 2011, when a State of Emer­gency (SoE) was de­clared.
