Premier the Hon. Dr. Rufus Ewing says that he has no tolerance for crime. Revisiting the Premiers address to the nation over 10 months ago, the Premier then as he’s still doing now, calling on the Commissioner of Police to step up the plans to reduce illegal activities affecting our community.
The Premier then, as he is now, saying that his Government will continue to work closely with the Police to provide them with the resources and support they the need to do their job effectively. The Premier did however mention that in order to uproot and eradicate crime it has to be a community effort.
On June 23rd when that press conference was held the country’s chief added (and I quote) “my government will be ensuring that technical and vocational programs will be implemented at the Community college, that the Government will be working with the religious leaders, non-government agencies such as the TCHTA, utility companies to seriously look at an apprentice program for young people, starting with 3rd and 4th formers, instilling in them self-worth and pride.”
Just last week in the Press conference on crime and other matters, the Premier spoke about the recent crime report that shows the TCI has a 1% spike in crime. The Premier just recently committed new gears and tools that he says will reduce the countries crime rate from 1 to 0%.
