Answer is cops on the street

Since Tommy was a little boy we have been hearing that the problem is due to our unprotected sea borders and close proximity to the Venezuela mainland.

Information obtained is that a few retirees who have been failures during active duties were given the mandate to come up with a plan to eradicate the heavy arms and ammo trade in TT .

The answer to this menace has always been with the Police Service. A heavy street operation by them is the answer.

There is too much free movement of people roaming the streets with the sole purpose to commit crime. Examples: pickpocketing, snatching of valuables, loitering, gambling, offensive language, throwing of missiles etc.

The Police Service has too much duplication within.

Many units are doing the same function. And there are some non-sensitive jobs done by police officers that could be done by civilians.

Free the officers to carry out rigid policing on the streets.
