The PDM is calling on the authorities to release the last year’s Crime Statistics, noting its disappointment that we are about to enter the 3rd month of the year and are yet to see the crime statistics for last year.
“We are aware that the statistics were some weeks ago presented to Cabinet as it was noted in its Minutes that are released publicly. We consider this important information for the people of these Islands for obvious reasons, but it may also be used to assess whether we are successfully addressing crime reductions and detections,” the opposition’s release noted.
“Last year we were not satisfied with the responses from the leadership of national security and elected government in this country.Whilst we are proud to still enjoy the lowest rates in the region and to remain among the safest, we are not comforted in this fact.
And whilst the numbers last year were not alarming for those who are not indigenous to these Islands, it was rather concerning to those who can appreciate that the numbers and types of offenses are not reflective of the country in which we want to live. We remain firm in our position to the creation of an aggressive Crime Prevention Plan and one that engages the public and involves the people of these Islands,” Hon Robinson said.
“We look forward to seeing the crime statistics and hopefully soon, the Premier’s promised Review of the former Commissioner of Police, who has already hand over leadership of the Force,” she added.
