Following fears of an escalation in gang violence, the TTPS is assuring that measures are being taken to address this issue.
There are concerns from citizens, following several recent shootings and murders.
The question was put today to ASP Owie Russell during the TTPS briefing.
ASP Russell said other national security agencies will also be involved in the effort.
Meanwhile on the matter of cooper theft, Superintendent Lystra Bridgelal said one person has so far been held, with other arrests possibly imminent.
Instances of copper theft led to disruptions in WASA and T&TEC services in recent months.
It also prompted a one year ban on the export of copper, save for licensed manufacturers under strict conditions.
