June was EXTRA hot...50+ murders.
Just 5 murders yesterday alone.
Tim Gopeesingh's office just got broken into and ransacked.
It's a free-for-all even more nowadays.

The Manning led administration wasn't doing enough to alleviate the situation. The PP needs to restore hope in the people by letting them know their voices are being heard and that the "pressure" so to speak is not falling on deaf ears.
Alot more pressure needs to be applied!

DWAYNE DOUGLAS GIBBS, the Canadian national likely to be approved by Parliament on Friday to become the country’s next Commissioner of Police, has promised, once he’s given the nod, that he’s going to put his best foot forward and get the job done.
Gibbs said yesterday he is very excited about the job and is looks forward to bringing his expertise and professionalism to lead the Police Service.
He was speaking with the Express from Canada via cellphone.
Gibbs said, ’Certainly I would be very excited to be part of the Trinidad and Tobago National Police Service, and to work with the different police members along with the political powers, to look at any improvement within in the Service, and any improvement throughout the country as far as the crime rate is concerned.
’I looked at it as a challenge, a new opportunity to again work with people that require more help, in terms of dealing with the (crime) issues that affect their country, and I look forward to the challenge, personally, and the opportunity for Trinidad to leverage any of my skills and knowledge in any way I can help.’
BEST FOOT FORWARD: Canadian Dwayne Gibbs
Gibbs, 54, is a retired Chief Superintendent of Police at the Edmonton Police Service in Alberta, Canada. When he retired, he was in charge of the Human Resource Division.
Fellow Canadian Neal Parker, who is a Deputy Commissioner of Police in Antigua and Barbuda, was rejected for the top cop post last Friday by Parliament, after it was disclosed that he was an assessor during the 2008 selection process.
Gibbs said this was the first time he applied for the job in an independent capacity. ’I thought the process was quite thorough with the type of questions, background checks they had,’ Gibbs said.
Sources have revealed that Gibbs’s resume was the most impressive among all the applicants for the top cop post. He was second on the Order of Merit list for the post of CoP in the selection process, which was recently submitted by the Justice and Safety Institute of the Pennsylvania State University to the Police Service Commission.
Gibbs has a 30-year career in law enforcement and is the holder of four university degrees in that field. He is the president and interim CEO of a non-profit organisation, has been married for the past 33 years and is the father of three grown children.
He said he was aware of the objections regarding a foreigner leading the Police Service, but noted that the important issue was that everyone had a common goal. ’Everybody is working towards the same end. Everybody wants to see the crime rate come down and everybody wants to see the solving rate improved. So, it’s just being a matter of everybody working together and trying to affect those ends,’ Gibbs said.
He added, ’Certainly, any leader that comes into the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service has to have the competency and the character and be able to fit into the organisation, and I hold all of those three things. I have been very successful throughout my career and I intend to bring those qualities to Trinidad and Tobago and assist in whatever way I can.’
When asked what crime fighting measures could he bring to the Police Service, Gibbs said those were issues he preferred to discuss with the Police Service Commission and the Minister of National Security.
Between 1999 and 2001, Gibbs was a director in charge of the Criminal Intelligence Service of Alberta, Canada, an agency responsible for arranging joint force operations to deal with crime, including gang violence. The agency’s objective was to collect, analyse and disseminate criminal intelligence.
He is also a recipient of the Alberta Centennial Medal. Persons chosen for this honour are selected by all members of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta, representatives of other levels of Government, post-secondary institutions, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Military and a number of other provincial and national organisations.
"everybody wants to see the solving rate improved"
This quoted line is KEY.
