Deputy Commissioner of Police Junior Benjamin joins Trinidad and Tobago Today to discuss the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service’s latest COMPSTAT report, which shows a 15 per cent reduction in serious reported crime nationwide.
He examines the strategies contributing to the decline, the challenges that remain in tackling violent crime and illegal firearms, and the importance of collaboration among the protective services. The conversation also highlights the addition of 201 newly sworn police officers, their role in strengthening frontline policing and community engagement, and how citizens can work alongside the TTPS to help build safer communities.
