Former police commissioner Gary Griffith and regional security expert Dr Garvin Heerah have described Zones of Special Operations (ZOSO) as a viable and effective option once the State of Emergency (SoE) ends, warning that crime could surge if emergency powers are lifted without proper contingency planning.
Speaking with Guardian Media, Griffith said he had long argued against using an SoE as a primary crime-fighting tool and pointed to Jamaica’s experience with ZOSO as a more targeted alternative.
