Home­land Af­fairs Min­is­ter Roger Alexan­der says the Po­lice Ser­vice must em­brace tech­nol­o­gy as a key tool to tack­le crime. He made the state­ment dur­ing yes­ter­day’s post-Cab­i­net me­dia brief­ing at the Red House in Port-of-Spain.

Alexan­der, who re­cent­ly at­tend­ed the 49th Reg­u­lar Meet­ing of Cari­com Heads of Gov­ern­ment in Mon­tego Bay, Ja­maica, high­light­ed that Ja­maica’s po­lice have in­te­grat­ed tech­nol­o­gy in­to their op­er­a­tions, re­sult­ing in a re­duc­tion in se­ri­ous crimes.

He not­ed that T&T’s Na­tion­al Op­er­a­tions Cen­tre is un­der-utilised and needs to be re­vi­talised.
