Gold Com­man­der of the State of Emer­gency (SoE), Deputy Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice Suzette Mar­tin, says the num­ber of peo­ple de­tained so far un­der this SoE has al­ready sur­passed the num­ber ar­rest­ed dur­ing the en­tire­ty of last SoE.

In a me­dia re­lease yes­ter­day, Mar­tin said the stats to date show a “sig­nif­i­cant op­er­a­tional mile­stone” 45 days in­to the SoE.

“To date, 258 de­ten­tion or­ders have been ap­proved, with 170 ex­e­cut­ed. These fig­ures have al­ready sur­passed those record­ed at the con­clu­sion of the pre­vi­ous state of emer­gency, which stood at 205 ap­proved and 153 ex­e­cut­ed.”
