Answer 3

A total waste of monies that could be put to use in a more productive way in the fight against crime. But Martin Joseph is in denial about his failed measures,and will not admit that he needs help.It sure looks like he would prefer everyone in T&T to be murdered and then he would still say to give his methods time.How much time you need joseph???200years.

Answer 4

That is all Trini's like to do is complain. Give the program a try and see what happen. All over the world they have these programs and safety is increased. I have a citizen watch in my neighbourhood, in New Jersey, and I could leave my door open and go out without a problem.

Give the thing a try. Is your 'hood is time we get back to the 'ole days of macoing and talking to the neighbor. Yes actually talk to a live person instead of on the cell or sending email.

Yuh want less crime 'Take back what is yours'
