PM warns: I won’t hesitate to call another SoE

Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar has warned that she will not hes­i­tate to de­clare an­oth­er State of Emer­gency (SoE) if se­ri­ous threats to the safe­ty and se­cu­ri­ty of cit­i­zens re-emerge.

The SoE end­ed at mid­night on Thurs­day, fol­low­ing sev­er­al months of emer­gency mea­sures aimed at tack­ling se­ri­ous crime and gang ac­tiv­i­ty.

Since the UNC-led Gov­ern­ment came in­to of­fice in April 2025, two states of emer­gency have been de­clared.
