flag Trinidad and Tobago to replace State of Emergency with targeted security zones to reduce crime, under judicial oversight.

flag Trinidad and Tobago plans to replace its national State of Emergency with Zones of Special Operations (ZOSO), targeting high-crime areas with focused, time-limited security measures under judicial oversight. flag The move, inspired by Jamaica’s model, aims to maintain recent crime reductions—such as a 42% drop in homicides—without nationwide restrictions. flag The government has not disclosed which areas will be designated, and questions remain about the fate of uncharged detainees from the previous emergency. flag While officials highlight seized weapons and improved traffic enforcement, experts and activists debate the plan’s potential for discrimination and civil rights concerns. flag The bill will be debated in Parliament.
