Young: Don’t judge police by murder toll

National Security Minister Stuart Young said the police service should not be judged on the murder toll alone. He was responding to a question about plans to address the murder toll during the post-Cabinet media briefing held on Thursday at the Diplomatic Centre, St Ann’s.

Young said that particular tool of measuring crime is always at the forefront of discussions with heads of security of various divisions. “It is something that we constantly look at. But it doesn’t drive all of our decisions. What drives our decisions is to try and make TT a safer place and that is what we are working on.”
