Minister Nicholas Morris: Crime Figures Vindicate Prime Minister’s SOE Decision

Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister Nicholas Morris says the State of Emergency has done its job, as figures released by the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service show a reduction in crime.

Speaking to TTT News, he said based on the statistics showing decreases in crime across all police divisions, the Prime Minister has been vindicated for the decision to implement the SOE.

“The figures released by the TTPS and by the Prime Minister showing the reduction in crime, showing the number of arrests and so on vindicate that the Prime Minister was correct for the implementation of the last SOE. We have seen murders have been reduced, we’ve seen the country is safer, and it is a vindication of the Prime Minister’s decisions, vision and policy.”
