Act­ing Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice (CoP) Ju­nior Ben­jamin yes­ter­day pre­sent­ed a score­card for the T&T Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) which showed they had record­ed a sig­nif­i­cant re­duc­tion in se­ri­ous and vi­o­lent crimes since the year be­gan, com­pared to the same pe­ri­od for the past two years.

Read­ing from doc­u­ments in front of him yes­ter­day dur­ing a po­lice me­dia brief­ing, Ben­jamin ap­plaud­ed the hard work of of­fi­cers, which he said had led to the pos­i­tive re­sults they were cur­rent­ly ex­pe­ri­enc­ing.

He said the mur­der count which stood at 153 up to Tues­day, rep­re­sent­ed a 33 per cent de­cline - com­pared to 228 mur­ders in 2024, and 241 in 2023.
