Acting Commissioner of Police Junior Benjamin has said the threat that led to the government calling the state of emergency (SOE) in December has been averted.
He said this was due to the work of the police service during the 103-day SoE.
The SoE ended at midnight on April 13. This meant the emergency powers given to the Minister of National Security and the police to detain people suspected of being involved in criminal or gang activity are no longer applicable.
