Crime and security summit

Caricom heads agree to rack of measures

Caricom Heads of Government have agreed, at the end of the special summit on the issue of security, to several measures to tackle the crime situation regionally.

Among the decisions taken in Trinidad and Tobago last evening are that they will sign the regional ‘Maritime and Airspace Cooperation and the Sharing of Assets agreement’; explore the establishment of a Rapid Deployment Regional Joint Force; enact legislation to allow the security forces to conduct wiretapping and to establish a Caricom polygraphing facility.
