Citizens,
Tell the Government of Trinidad and Tobago and the Minister of National Security that we need a 2016 National homicide reduction plan (DON'T SHOOT) to curb the number of violent crimes perpetrated by criminals wielding illegal firearms.
The weapon of choice for most criminals is illegal firearms which have a direct effect on the high rate of homicides in Trinidad and Tobago. Since the new PNM Government came into power in September 2015, they are yet to outline a National Security plan, one that speaks of plans related to stopping the illegal importation of guns and ammunition within the national boards of the country. They have not outlined how they will get these illegal firearms out of the hands of gangs and criminals and how they intend to REDUCE the rate of homicides in Trinidad and Tobago over the next five years.
TTAAAGV is proposing the following measures:
- A comprehensive national security plan to reduce the number of homicides by 50% by the year 2020,
- An amendment of laws related to judicial proceedings to make video (from CCTV or video surveillance) evidence admissible in criminal cases,
- An Amendment to laws related to giving evidence in criminal matters via the two-way remote/video witness testimony process,
- A strengthening of the witness protection program,
- An increase in the number of Magistrate Courts in rural and urban areas, preferably these courts should be located close to existing prisons,
- The immediate implementation of a Gun Court to deal with illegal fire arm offenses and matters,
- A Firearm (illegal) Eradiction Unit within the Police Service,
- Strengthening of the Police Intelligence units,
- A strengthening of the boarder patrols and rural police units,
- A strengthening of the human resource practices within the police service including the recruitment and selection the COP and upgrade and promotion of officers.
Please sign the petition if you want to see some or all of these measures implemented.
