Deputy Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice (DCP) in charge of Op­er­a­tions and Gold Com­man­der for the State of Emer­gency (SoE), Suzette Mar­tin, in­sists the SoE is work­ing and has had some suc­cess­es notwith­stand­ing con­tin­ued homi­cides.

As of yes­ter­day morn­ing, there were 96 mur­ders for the year thus far, com­pared to 106 for the same pe­ri­od in 2025.

Re­spond­ing to ques­tions sent to her through the TTPS Cor­po­rate Com­mu­ni­ca­tions Unit, Mar­tin dis­missed con­cerns that the on­go­ing SoE was in­ef­fec­tive, not­ing that it was “sim­ply not ac­cu­rate.”
