so which gang in prison calling these shots?
is it the same religious one?

[h1tach1]

Those same Jammers affecting surrounding neighborhoods.

But not affecting the prisoners who inside and calling shots?

It probably affecting the officers who can't call they outside birds on a 24 hr rotation or whatever and can't sell the inmates phone cards either

This is a problem that they don't want to really solve.
They have 2 choices:
1. Ask TSTT and Digicel to make that area around the prison a low coverage area (lower power on transmitter, change location of antenna or sites, etc.). This would make the jammers more effective.
2. Ask TSTT and Digicel to place a cell site on the premises of the prison that would force all cellphones in the area to lock on to that site. They could then block all calls from that site.

CoP is articulate....hope it signals an intelligence lead fight on crime.


Prison officers need to account for reasons comms are free flowing in and out of prison.

If they had real intelligence they would get the relevant warrants . The fact that they need soe means they ain't have no reall intelligence .

From what I understand they could get warrants from a JP. So they ain't really even have the 'warrant system compromised' excuse.


If was me, i woudl a take pride in the ability to use warrants to target criminals. Galavanting in bid drag net is admitting incompetence

[pugboy]

heinz was a bit articulate too eh

[pugboy]

they should be hitting them with proof of asset source of funds
hit them hard with taxman

Dangerous criminals now under military watch at Staubles Bay, Teteron Barracks


Dangerous convicted criminals who were taken from the nation’s prisons Friday morning under the State of Emergency, are now confined at military sites in Chaguaramas.

The two locations are Staubles Bay, which is the main base of the Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard and Teteron Barracks, the main base of the Regiment.

Both locations are not accessible to the general public as the entrance is manned, more than a mile off, by military personnel.

The locations were revealed by an order made under the Prisons Act, identified in the Gazette as The Prisons Order, 2025.

The order lists two new places that can be deemed as prisons under the Act – (i) Premises approved by the Minister at Teteron Barracks, Chaguaramas; and (ii) Premises approved by the Minister at Staubles Bay, Chaguaramas.

The order was one of four newly gazetted documents in relation to the State of Emergency declared by President Christine Kangaloo Friday morning on the advice of the Cabinet.

The others include the proclamation of the State of Emergency; the Emergency Powers Regulations; and the Detention of Persons (Discipline and Place of Detention) Directions.

Under the Prisons Act (Chapter 13:01), the listed prisons are the Port-of-Spain Prison; Golden Grove Prison; Maximum Security Prison, Golden Grove; Remand Prison, Golden Grove; Women’s Prison, Golden Grove; Eastern Correctional Rehabilitation Centre; and Carrera Convict Prison; Tobago Convict Prison.

The Act allows the Minister to name places that can be deemed as prisons.

The State of Emergency was proclaimed in response to a “widespread and coordinated national security threat,” the Office of the President said.

The Office added that the President was satisfied that a public emergency had arisen, citing recent developments “of such a nature and on so extensive a scale, as to be likely to endanger public safety.”

It took immediate effect nationwide and is not being accompanied by a curfew.

However, it grants expanded powers to security forces for targeted operations and rapid response actions. A multi-agency threat response group has also been deployed, police said.

The move came after a formal recommendation from Police Commissioner Allister Guevarro, which he said was based on intelligence that pointed to the existence of a sophisticated criminal network operating from inside the prison system.

According to the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service, the network uses smuggled mobile phones to facilitate encrypted communications between inmates and outside operatives.

It is allegedly behind a series of planned attacks targeting senior police, members of the judiciary, the Director of Public Prosecution’s office, and prison officials.

Police said the group is linked to high-level crimes including kidnappings, extortion, home invasions, and attempts to infiltrate state-funded programmes.

Law enforcement sources believe the scale and coordination of the threat exceed what can be contained through routine policing.

Attorney General John Jeremie said mid-Friday that targeted raids and covert operations had already begun.

He told the media that the fact that his office had not been destroyed by a rocket launcher, was testament that the declaration of a State of Emergency “has disrupted a plan.”

Under the laws of Trinidad and Tobago, a State of Emergency can continue for 15 days after which the Government would require Parliament approval for any extensions.

Allyuh be realistic.

U rly think kamla would want a state of emergency 3 months into her new government? Think how extreme things hadda be for her to make that decision.

hopefully they just ignore the overly idealistic, delusional people who think we can get a handle on the situation without drastic measures

BBQ influence in TnT. SOE not going to impact that, the race card will halt any serious attempt, not that the Gov. is capable of anything serious.

But does an SOE actually disrupt plans or just delay it?

Ghost Gangs to Destabilise TT.

It is perhaps the most pre-emptive strike on crime. Because for years we ( Ground Google) know that the jails are the engine room for crime. A revolving door for criminals. We get stories straight out of jail, courtesy mostly Digicel which was the main go to at the time there were Digi to Digi calls free after 10 pm.

The prisoners would let us know about jail conditions and ask for a phone card in return. Or money to buy cigarettes which was the main currency after the authorities stopped selling cigarettes in the prison parlour, creating a black market. And then there was weed and guns.

The evidence of gun smuggling came when Hassan Atwell, Scanny and Monster, used one in a jail break one afternoon in July 2015, killing a policeman in the process, but running wild after they escaped because they had no plan.

They got a gun from the inside.

The prison officers who are not criminally complicit would have a hard time on their jobs because by now the criminals are running the jail and they can intimidate any prison officer by making threats to his family. It's more than one or two prison officers have been gunned down, on orders from inside.

The controversial Assistant Commissioner of Police Suzette Martin had been, over the past few months, making what seemed like regular raids in the prisons. She, the one with balls as the men in the TTPS say, knew where the headquarters of organised crime, was located, as we all did.

But she only came out of it with a couple of prison officers arrested and a few knives and dangerous home made weapons collected.

But nobody catered for Police Commissioner Allister Guevarro. He's not your run of the mill cop who acquired the top seat because of seniority. Or because he was hand picked by politicians. Rather he is a man with 30 odd years working strictly in police intelligence through the Special Branch, which dictates his approach to the job.

There are so many leaks in national security, police officers and soldiers who get drawn into trouble because of the areas in which they live and become part of the criminal syndicate led from inside the prisons.

Therefore Guevarro's modus operandi must be radically different, if he has to drive a dagger into the heart of crime.

For example, he must deviate from the national standard set by Gary Griffith.: so Guevarro did not take a news crew with him to a soft target. Instead with the Proclamation of the SOE which gave him the powers of arrest without a warrant, he led a team in the dead of night to the MSP and removed the men identified as the heads of the syndicate to a place where communication is limited.That's before we even knew there was an SOE.

It was a preemptive strike.

It's a start, getting at the heart of the local syndicate that is collaborating for kidnappings, home invasions and everything else that goes hand in hand with the spate of car thefts. SUVs and not Tiida are the choice for the thieves nowadays, because they just borrow your can and use it for a job before they abandon it, without leaving a trace, except their fingerprints which may not be on the police database anyway, due to shortcomings in technology.

In the Commissioner 's first communication via Press Release at 6:42 this morning he specified " targeted attacks against senior officials and national institutions", spoke of the "severity of the threats" , " a structured campaign involving multiple criminal entities whose targets include senior police officers, members of the judiciary, personnel in the office of the DPP and Prison Officers".

The source of the money did not just involve kidnapping and robberies, but also the " infiltration of state funded contracts and programmes.".

At his press conference a few hours later, he mentioned URP. Please note that just as there is an audit of CEPEP, the same thing is happening with the URP, which has been sustained for corruption, and where gangsters who get very many of the contracts, are now in threat of losing a source of funds.

Please remember Gary Griffith openly warned his previous bosses in the PNM about handing out state contracts to the criminals because they were only using the money, (hundreds of thousands of dollars) to buy guns. And how many lives one box drain would have cost? The box drain money was the main reason for many gang wars.

Just as they have been trying hard to stir up emotions about thousands of hungry CEPEP workers, and by race baiting, the opposition People's National Movement should be mindful to not , for emotional appeal among only criminals, disgrace the work of the TTPS in an effort to destabilise the government.

Thus far they have successfully engaged frontline UNC soldiers , for weeks, on CEPEP and Bangladesh. They have not generated momentum on the ground with bacchanal politics, except to keep rabid followers engaged and talking.

So the PNM is now like click bait. And it matters not how much data the UNC provides, the hardcore PNM do not want to go beyond the headlines, and the Guardian Media House caters to that, wholeheartedly.

British journalists, and YouTuber Chris Must List, come to Trinidad and understand the underbelly of this small place, where you must live in a bubble not to see what Guevarro knows, though he carefully chose his words. It was a threat to destabilise the country, concocted and directed from inside the prisons supported by operators on the outside...and cheerleaders in the public space.

He is a good, clean unblemished policeman who is getting the right support to do what he was hired to do. It is simply to be smarter than the criminals.

Will Opposition Leader Penny Beckles continue to offload click bait on us via Marvin Gonzales? Or will she lead responsibly, taking all national concerns into consideration,as if she was practicing to lead this country as Prime Minister, and not just a red jersey band of sailor mas?

Clearly while her PNM soldier Kareem Marcelle , speaking at his home base in Beetham last week, declared war, is Penny a General? In that war?

Will she take responsibility for the gun toting enablers who will also rise up if they are called ?

Because what is the intent when you are calling out Beetham, Sea Lots and Morvant when there are CEPEP workers all over the country? Why not La Horquetta and Arima?

How far will click bait take you?

It stalls and buys time because what happens when it is lifted .....forget that what happened with the last SOE PNM put us under murders continued like normal. Ppl even forgot we were under a SOE

[pugboy]

the corrupt officers will just stop bringing in fones for the months of the soe and when soe lifted is back to business

these criminals are familiar with playing a long game

Correct.

And We can never have an effective SOE with an incompetent and generally corrupt TTPS.

Fix the TTPS

Taking about phones, how these crooks charging them? This is the question nobody asks. They have outlets in cells for accessories now? I've heard they strip the wires to the lighting circuits and wrap their chargers directly. So the jail wasn't wired in rigid conduit? Exposed wires ain't a massive OSHA violation?

Before we get into jammers and moving prisoners in the middle of the night into communication free areas, whatever that means, here's a simple dollar fix. Change around one wire in the panel to make all lighting circuits 220v and install 220v bulbs. Chargers and phone go go pax pax. All hit from the jail done, no SOE required

I think everyone knows how to stop this nonsense but deliberately playing dotish

Lewwe hear your expert realistic opinion on how to stop crime.

Keep in mind you have a family. The people you asking to carry out your plan have families. And people doing hits for anything around $5000 these days.
