National Security Minister Gary Griffith has dubbed Carnival 2014 the safest ever in the country. The minister made the comment to reporters Tuesday as he toured the downtown Carnival areas accompanied by Ag Commissioner of Police Stephen Williams, Chief of Defence Staff Kenrick Maharaj and other security officers.
"The success speaks for itself," he said. "What he have seen here is a first whereby, the forces have worked together there has been proper collaboration, in no small part because of the National Operations Centre and you have seen the success. That is why I continue to ask all law-abiding citizens to continue to work with the law enforcement officials, provide them with that information and the success will follow.”
Griffith said the success was across the board for the entire Carnival season because law enforcement officials worked together with a plan based on the threat assessment of the events. "We will continue along that line and it shows that we are in the right direction," he said.
"Some people have actually complained. Some people were like they were hearing too many sirens and encountered too many road blocks," he noted. He added that there is a plan to increase this kind of surveillance.
“In my opinion it has been a success...Far more officers have been deployed this year...(we hope that) next year we can take it to another level," he added. He promised that the 2015 Carnival will be better.
