Let's be real on both points a man could murder a man in broad day light in town now xmas eve and nobody will come forward and say that's the man, the cameras in town NEVER wukin and just like that he get away. The laws don't apply because they not catching anyone to apply it to. Those they catch out on bail to distress and terrorize others , thus the vicious cycle continues.....pugboy wrote:if detection rate is 14% and it gone up to 18% i guess it’s an improvement but those rates ain’t locking up no criminal or deterring crime

Hinds again says he’s not quitting as National Security Minister

National Security Minister Fitzgerald Hinds again confirmed yesterday that he’s not going anywhere, despite numerous calls from several sectors of society and the Opposition for him to do so due to the spiralling crime and record murder rate.
“No, no, no! I am confident that I am conducting my mandate, I know what my responsibilities are and I am executing them, every one of them,” Hinds said at the Christmas on The Hill children’s treat at Sogren Trace in Laventille.
Guardian Media reminded Hinds that it was only on Monday (December 19) that he had said on coming into office in April last year, he knew that 70 per cent of society did not want to see him succeed. He even lamented that it would be nice if he had society’s full backing.
Yesterday, however, the Minister seemingly backtracked a bit.
“You don’t have to hold me to the figure,” he replied, saying that he meant it was the Opposition and criminals who don’t support his efforts.
Asked if he, in fact, does believe he has the full support of the population, Hinds said, “Yea I do, I do, but I know there are people engaged in criminal activity of all descriptions, white collar crime, blue colour crime, red blood crime who do not want us to succeed.”
Hinds stressed that it is the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) that solely has the responsibility to prevent crimes, including murder.
But with the murder rate edging closer to the unprecedented 600 mark in the Minister’s first full year in charge of National Security, he was asked to assess his performance.
“I don’t rate my performance; I work and I do what I am mandated to do,” he said.
However, Hinds admitted that he too is not pleased with the number of murders this year.
“No sensible right-thinking citizen wants to know that we, Trinidad and Tobago, have killed so many of us. A couple days’ ago, someone sent me a WhatsApp message saying ‘Oh my God, you mean we are losing 600 citizens for the year?’ and I replied ‘yes, unfortunately, yes’ but who is doing that? It is we the citizens of Trinidad and Tobago for the most part who are doing it. It is sad but it is the reality for the time being.”
Hinds described the situation as “horrible and serious” and said he continues to work with the TTPS to provide them with the resources they need, which, he said, is his mandate.
“Right now, I am working with a private organisation represented here today, they have promised to use their contacts internationally to bring certain skills to bear which I will allow them, once the Police Commissioner finds it appropriate, to share with the police service in terms of certain elements of it and we all have to work together.”
Hinds then told members of the media that they were overlooking a positive which gives him encouragement going into 2023.
“It may have escaped you, but it hasn’t escaped me that our detection rate is heading north, the police are certainly making greater headway. You would see the other day there was a murder of a woman and child in a car and as they were escaping from the scene, because of the strategic direct active patrol systems that are in place now, they were able to intercept the suspects on the very day shortly after the offence.”
Hinds also sought to dismiss allegations made by the United National Congress (UNC) that the murder toll is actually higher and statistics are being suppressed.
“I have to rely on the official statistics and I rely on the data received by the TTPS, so if I have to hear from the Commissioner of Police, as I do, and then hear from the chatterboxes, I will rely on the Police Commissioner’s word, and I do.”

Prime Minister Rowley Asks Citizens To Pray For Peace And Safety
December 24, 2022
TTT News
Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley is calling on citizens to preserve and share the spirit of Christmas even as a small but dangerous minority has acted and continues to spread sorrow across our land.
In his Christmas Message to the nation, the Prime Minister appeals to all citizens to pray that we rid ourselves of our self-destructive behaviours, which now may appear to be out of control, to ask God to rid us of those strangers to the spirit of Christmas, those repressed, shadow personalities, and to ask for His strength and clarity which will help us to confront and change those amongst us who will kill and those who have useful information but casually allow the pain to flow.
The Prime Minister’s Christmas wish is that we all say a Silent Prayer individually and maybe collectively towards the coming of that dawn that is at hand in which we will be reminded every day that “Tolerance” of each other is one of our National Watchwords.

But look for example, the little boy that drowned, he was buried yesterday so that means the autopsy was completed. But where are the results of the autopsy?
