Guevarro, speaking to reporters in Tobago, said that based on the  data colleccted so far “we are seeing some positive results” in the fight against crime.

‘I announced a couple weeks ago we have seen reduction in all of  the divisions of  the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service and Tobago was one of them,”  he said.

But when pressed as to whether or  not the SoE, which is due to expire at midnight on June 17, the top cop replied “that decision is not up to the Trinidad and Tobago Police”.
