PRIME MINISTER HARRIS SAYS THE MINISTRY OF NATIONAL SECURITY MAINTAINS A ZERO TOLERANCE APPROACH TO CRIME
Published 2 May 2017
BASSETERRE, St. Kitts, April 27, 2017 (Press Unit in the Office of the Prime Minister) – Prime Minister and Minister of National Security, Dr. the Honourable Timothy Harris, says his Team Unity Administration maintains a zero tolerance approach to crime and stated that the government will continue to provide law enforcement agencies “with as much support as the state could” in the fight against crime.
In the 2017 Budget, the government allotted approximately $72 million to the Ministry of National Security, which represents the largest yearly budgetary allocation ever given to that ministry.
Prime Minister Harris, speaking during a telephone interview with Freedom FM’s Juni Liburd on Thursday (April 27), said this investment has allowed for stepped-up operations by security forces as well as the roll out of several initiatives including the government’s CCTV Project.
