The ex­ec­u­tive of the T&T Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) is grate­ful and hap­py with the out­come of the re­cent­ly con­clud­ed State of Emer­gency (SoE).

De­clar­ing they were “pleased” dur­ing a me­dia brief­ing at the Po­lice Ad­min­is­tra­tion Build­ing, Port-of-Spain, yes­ter­day, act­ing Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice (CoP) Ju­nior Ben­jamin said the SoE achieved its in­tend­ed pur­pose which was to help the au­thor­i­ties get crime un­der con­trol.

“We would just want to say at this point, that we are grate­ful for the out­comes that we have seen thus far com­ing out of the SoE, un­der­stand­ing that the SoE was in­sti­tut­ed be­cause of the in­creased crime sit­u­a­tion that oc­curred in 2024, in re­la­tion to the in­tel­li­gence that was gath­ered which sug­gest­ed there would be reprisal killings as it re­lates to gang war­fare.”
