COMMISSIONER of Police Allister Guevarro (CoP) says while the current state of emergency (SoE) has produced significant results, it must be maintained to permanently dismantle criminal networks. For that reason, he has recommended an extension of the measure.
Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar confirmed on the Crime Watch television programme on October 27 that Guevarro had formally advised the government to extend it.
The SoE was first implemented on July 18 based on the CoP’s recommendation and later extended on July 28 for an additional three months.
