Commissioner of Police (CoP) Allister Guevarro says the six-month-long State of Emergency (SoE), which expires at midnight, was “100% effective.”
Insisting it saved lives, he says while a total of 117 SoE detainees will be released by the end of today, one should not measure the effectiveness of the SoE by numbers alone.
However, he assured those who are released will continue to be monitored by the T&T Police Service (TTPS).
