Minister of National Security Fitzgerald Hinds said the diligent work of the government, together with the varying law enforcement agencies, have helped them find the right remedy which has aided in the reduction of criminal activity for the 2025 Carnival season.

Speaking during a walkabout in downtown PoS on Carnival Tuesday (March 4), Hinds said the strategies and immense presence of law enforcement, coupled with the implementation of the state of emergency (SoE), have made this season safer for locals and foreigners alike.

"I'm particularly proud that we seem to have struck and found a very wonderful and well-oiled formula. Look at the members of the public, they're having themselves a ball, feeling secured and safe," Hinds said, even as he interacted with members of the public along South Quay.
