As part of efforts to reduce the high rates of crime and violence which are fuelled by illicit firearms trafficking, the Caribbean Community Implementation Agency for Crime and Security (CARICOM IMPACS) recently hosted a meeting at its headquarters in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, where the matter was discussed at length, an IMPACS release stated recently.
At the hybrid meeting which was attended by United States (US) partners and CARICOM Commissioners of Police, ways were explored to further improve the collaboration with the CARICOM Crime Gun Intelligence Unit (CGIU) to not only stem the wave of firearms-related crimes which are pervading the Caribbean Region’s national and regional borders, but to successfully prosecute all those who are involved in the illicit firearms trade.
