QUES­TION: Are you sat­is­fied with the Gov­ern­ment’s fight against crime?

Ken­wyn Phillip, Plum Road: "Not sat­is­fied. Where is the PM's crime plan he promised on his elec­tion cam­paign?"

Keon Sa­roops­ingh, Tamana: "No. Start to hang the mur­der­ers."

Calvin Seecha­ran, Man­zanil­la: "Ob­vi­ous­ly no, stop play­ing games and deal with is­sues that re­late to crime."

Ny­roon Guy, Va­len­cia: "No. Crime is a busi­ness and has to sat­is­fy its fi­nanciers."

Kathe­ri­na Charles, UTT stu­dent, Fos­ter Road, San­gre Grande: "No they not tak­ing crime as a se­ri­ous is­sue, ex­cept for CoP Gar­ry Grif­fith."

Joseph Hosten, ven­dor, North Oropouche: "No, I am not pleased. It's time the Gov­ern­ment use the army in its fight against crime."

Sylvi­ia Mar­tinez Vil­lourel, Guaico Tamana: "Yes. It is peo­ple’s mind, how much can the Gov­ern­ment do?"

Lean­na Wal­lace, Boys Town, San­gre Grande: "Def­i­nite­ly no."

Pri­cil­la Ro­jas, taxi-dri­ver, Matu­ra: "Yes. CoP Gar­ry Grif­fith is mak­ing some im­pact, but the mur­der rate needs to drop."

Ra­jas­tree Sukrat, Va­len­cia: "No, not at all. My son got shot twice and no one has been ar­rest­ed yet in spite of in­fo pro­vid­ed."

Doolay Ramdeen, Va­len­cia: "No. Crime is on the rise, every day there are two and more mur­ders. Gov­ern­ment has to get se­ri­ous with crim­i­nals."

Eliz­a­beth Tay­lor, ad­min­is­tra­tive as­sis­tant, Laven­tille: "I am sat­is­fied to a point, but I think if the pub­lic is more in­volved in giv­ing in­for­ma­tion, it would make crime fight­ing in T&T much eas­i­er than it is now."

Jor­dane Gre­goire, da­ta an­a­lyst, Mar­aval: "Yes. Gary Grif­fith has made a dif­fer­ence, so I be­lieve it is get­ting bet­ter."

Mar­vin Mar­celle, brand man­ag­er, St Ann’s: "I think they are do­ing their best to re­al­ly get the crime un­der con­trol, but it is def­i­nite­ly not enough, though they have im­proved from pre­vi­ous years."

Jonathan Rod­ney, plumber, Port-of-Spain: "No, they can do bet­ter than that. Per­haps more po­lice in the streets may im­prove the sit­u­a­tion."

Pat­sy Gar­cia, re­tired EMT, San Juan: "No be­cause crime just keeps hap­pen­ing every day and it’s like they don’t have a so­lu­tion even though they have Gary Grif­fith now…still we have crime hap­pen­ing every day so I don’t think they are do­ing the prop­er thing. I think they have to start from home with the par­ents or the school."

Al­ber­to Gar­nier, couri­er, Trinci­ty: "No. I feel we need to do more about it. They prob­a­bly need a change in Gov­ern­ment."

Emer­son Mar­tin, pub­lic ser­vant, Barataria: "Yes, I am. I want to com­mend the present Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice, Gary Grif­fith…he is do­ing an ex­cel­lent job and we need to give him a chance to do that job."

Good­will Sa­landy, re­tiree, La Hor­quet­ta: "I would say to an ex­tent. It would be in­hu­mane to ex­pect too much be­cause peo­ple are very fi­nite and it would im­pos­si­ble to ex­pect per­fec­tion."
