POLICE say they have learnt lessons coming out of the recent state of emergency (SoE) which saw more than 4,000 people arrested and almost 1,600 charged.

The SoE was declared on December 30 in an effort to curb a wave of killings linked to gang violence.

It ended on April 13 as it could not be extended since Parliament had been dissolved for the upcoming April 28 general election.
