A se­ries of new crime-fight­ing ini­tia­tives, in­clud­ing the cre­ation of an elite tac­ti­cal unit for high-pri­or­i­ty crim­i­nal threats will be in­tro­duced if the PNM re­turns to of­fice.

This was an­nounced by Prime Min­is­ter Stu­art Young who out­lined plans for na­tion­al se­cu­ri­ty and crime sup­pres­sion at a Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment meet­ing in Sig­na­ture Hall, Ch­agua­nas, on Thurs­day night.

Young, who served as Min­is­ter of Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty from 2018 to 2021, ini­tial­ly took jabs at the UNC’s com­ments on na­tion­al se­cu­ri­ty and crime-fight­ing be­fore re­veal­ing some as­pects of his par­ty’s plans.
