The Gov­ern­ment has pledged sup­port for the Of­fice of the Di­rec­tor of Pub­lic Pros­e­cu­tions (DPP), vow­ing that gangs will not be al­lowed to in­tim­i­date law en­force­ment or the jus­tice sys­tem.

Speak­ing yes­ter­day dur­ing In­di­an Ar­rival Day cel­e­bra­tions in Pe­nal, Min­is­ter of Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Roger Alexan­der said any threats di­rect­ed at the DPP or oth­er state in­sti­tu­tions would be met with a firm re­sponse.

“Once a threat is made, threats will be ad­dressed. Sim­ple,” Alexan­der said when asked about al­leged calls for gangs to unite and whether such state­ments con­sti­tut­ed a di­rect threat to the Of­fice of the DPP.
