THE Prime Minister, with Parliament's nod, may by order declare certain areas to be "zones of special operation" where the police and defence force have special powers to search, seize and arrest.
MPs on January 16 will debate these proposals of the Law Reform (Zones of Special Operation)(Special Security and Community Development Measures) Bill 2026.
The bill seeks to maintain law and order in TT, with each zone overseen by a "joint command" of the police and defence force, with the input of a social transformation council.
