Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter Roger Alexan­der says Gov­ern­ment is mov­ing to a “Plan B” on crime-fight­ing fol­low­ing the fail­ure of the Zone of Spe­cial Op­er­a­tions (ZOSO) Bill in the Sen­ate, warn­ing that the State will not re­treat in the face of es­ca­lat­ing crim­i­nal ac­tiv­i­ty.

While de­clin­ing to re­veal spe­cif­ic de­tails, Alexan­der said the de­ci­sion to keep al­ter­na­tive mea­sures un­der wraps is de­lib­er­ate, in­sist­ing that sur­prise re­mains a crit­i­cal weapon in the fight against or­gan­ised crime.

He said the Plan B will al­so come in­to ef­fect when the State of Emer­gency comes to an end on Sat­ur­day (Feb­ru­ary 1st).
