Mark concerned over kidnapping

Mark asked if the Police Service is adequately equipped to prevent and solve such kidnappings.

Dillon replied, “The Commissioner of Police (CoP, Stephen Williams) has informed me that the Anti Kidnapping Squad, the Cyber Security Unit, the Task Force, the Criminal Investigation Department, working together with the Strategic Services Agency, are prepared to treat with issues pertaining to kidnapping in Trinidad and Tobago.” Mark asked about the status of Gregory Laing who was kidnapped yesterday, but Senate president Christine Kangaloo disallowed that question.

Mark asked Dillon if the various forces he had listed are properly resourced and are prepared to deal with any eruption of kidnapping.

Dillon replied, “I thought I had just answered the question.

Based on the advice of the Commissioner of Police the unit as I mentioned before – the Anti Kidnapping Squad, the Cyber Security Unit, the CID and the Task Force, and I also added to that the Strategic Services Agency – are prepared to treat with the issues of kidnapping in Trinidad and Tobago.”
