“Since most of the violent criminal activities have been linked to gangs, the Anti Gang and the Anti Drug Taskforce will be reorganized to achieve more efficacious outcomes,” Prime Minister and Minister of National Security, Dr. the Honourable Timothy Harris, said during his monthly press conference on Wednesday, January 16, 2019.

In October of 2018, Mr. Brandy was invested with the full powers of the Commissioner of Police on a temporary basis to ensure that public safety operations continue seamlessly in the absence of Commissioner Queeley.
