Local Law Enforcement authorities are said to be placing greater emphasis on intelligence-gathering, as steps are taken to tackle crime.

Dr. Gonsaves said the Police have to be well informed, to be effective.
The Prime Minister said two main factors appear to have caused the recent spate of shootings.
