Chamber congratulates new CoP on crime

The Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce has congratulated acting Commissioner of Police Everald Snaggs and the Police Service for their recent efforts at tackling the crime plaguing this country.

In a statement yesterday the Chamber said: “Since last week’s announcement of a new strategy in crime prevention, Trinidad and Tobago has read and heard of gun raids and drug busts. There has been a more visible police presence on the roads. Some kidnappers have been brought to justice.” The Chamber said that although kidnapping suspect Sheldon Lovell was still at large, it encouraged members of the Police Service and Defence Force to be unrelenting and diligent in his capture. “The Chamber is pleased that this initiative has borne fruit and we look forward to seeing more results over the short term.” The group urged citizens to cooperate with the police, including at road blocks and as officers directed traffic. “Let us give them our support in these difficult and trying times. Report any information you may have on criminal activities to Crime Stoppers at 800-TIPS (800-8477). This is a safe and confidential way to give information”.
