Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has revealed that she has a panic button installed in her private home, and is encouraging other homeowners to consider doing the same.
Speaking during a public consultation on the stand your ground legislation at her constituency office in Penal last night, Persad-Bissessar, the MP for Siparia, described the device as an inexpensive but effective tool for personal safety.
“If you don’t have CCTV cameras, you don’t have anything, anytime you are worried, you just press that button and the whole place is noise, like a siren blaring,” she said. “We did that at our home ... so I am saying it is not so expensive to do. So maybe you can consider that until we get the criminals safely locked away and behind bars.”
