As he pre­pares to en­ter pub­lic of­fice for the first time, Min­is­ter of Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Roger Alexan­der says he is not daunt­ed by the task ahead and looks for­ward to mak­ing a sig­nif­i­cant im­pact on crime and se­cu­ri­ty in T&T.

Alexan­der, who was sworn in as a Cab­i­net Min­is­ter at a cer­e­mo­ny on Sat­ur­day, served as a po­lice of­fi­cer for more than 30 years, be­fore re­tir­ing at the rank of Se­nior Su­per­in­ten­dent to be­come a UNC can­di­date.

To­geth­er with for­mer crim­i­nal de­fence at­tor­ney Wayne Sturge, the To­co/San­gre Grande MP, who was ap­point­ed as Min­is­ter of De­fence, he will be re­spon­si­ble for na­tion­al se­cu­ri­ty af­fairs.
