T&T to create virtual police officers in a bid to curtail crime

Published:Sunday | December 15, 2013 | 12:09 PM

Trinidad and Tobago’s National Security Minister Gary Griffith says the authorities will soon launch a major crime fighting initiative as they deal with an upsurge in criminal activities in the twin-island republic.



Three hundred and 73 people have been murdered so far this year.



Griffith says a Virtual Police Officers initiative will be launched which will make use of every law abiding citizen.



He says he will be directly responsible for the initiative so that people will feel safe to report information that can be turned into evidence.
