Common determination to tackle crime
The only way we are going to deal with the spate of serious crime in Cayman, particularly shootings, is for all the relevant parts of government and the community to work together. Some time ago I called a high level meeting of leaders of government, the Judiciary and other public agencies to discuss this. It had to be postponed because of the budget and Legislative Assembly, but we managed to get people together last friday.
What we agreed is recorded in a press release.
I was impressed with the determination of everyone involved, starting with the elected Government who, even in these financially difficult times, are prepared to find more resources for the police and other aspects of criminal justice.
As well as dealing with current problems, which we must do with resolve but without over-reacting, it is vitally important to address the factors that could create the next generation of criminals.
