COMMISSIONER of Police Dwayne Gibbs yesterday warned criminals they were not welcome in a civilised society and that all efforts would be made by police to take them where they belong.In a telephone interview with the Sunday Express, Gibbs said:"There is no place in our society for their activities and we'll be working tirelessly to try to prevent them from achieving any kinds of inroads in the communities that they live in and are associated with."He also said one of the goals for the Police Service in 2011, was the transformation of the Service. He said such a move would benefit the country since police officers would be able to effectively and professionally serve the public."We are certainly focusing on rebuilding the model of policing to get in line with the 21st century. We believe that will be more responsive and more efficient and provide a greater reduction in crime for the citizens of Trinidad and Tobago," Gibbs said.In relation to the four homicides recorded for the year so far, Gibbs said that was not the right way to start the New Year and that the killings were being actively investigated by police.He said officers will remain relentless in their pursuit of those responsible for disrupting the peace and stability of the country as they seek to maintain law and order ."I can say that we have finished off 2010 on a downward spiral for crime when we talk about the murders, which is a very serious issue facing the country. The last month in 2010, we saw over 30 per cent decrease in the murders for one month alone."We're hoping to put a big push to continue our efforts into 2011 and hopefully we can achieve some of that trend we saw in the last year, that it would continue throughout 2011," Gibbs said.Gibbs also called on police officers to continue providing safety and security for the citizens."I know the work is demanding and certainly, I wish them all the best in the new year. And just remember that their efforts do not go unnoticed. That good work they are doing is phenomenal in keeping Trinidad and Tobago safe and secure and that's what we need to continue and strive for and concentrate on," he said.
