Municipal police in the capital city of Port of Spain unveiled a safe city campaign on Saturday on the heels of recent murders and daring daylight shootings on busy shopping streets over the last few days.

During the patrol, officers visited stores and talked to the workers on their security plans and offered them the opportunity to give suggestions on what would make them feel safer at work

One worker of Moses Shoe Collection on Frederick Street told Supt Glen Charles, the head of the Municipal Police that she wants to see more of the initiative throughout the country.

"It's all over the country so you have got to do a little bit better. I hope we see a lot more of you all and a lot better."

Charles said the Public Engagement and Welfare Unit which was launched last December was doing more to connect with the people they serve.

In response to the worker's complaint, Charles told her she and other workers will see them more.

"We will take note of your concerns and we will try to improve," Charles said.

Before the anti-crime patrol, Charles told the media, "We want to encourage the public that Port of Spain is still safe, notwithstanding the little incident that took place, we the police officers are counted on to serve the burgesses and the citizenry of Port of Spain. We will be going out there and we will create a visible police presence. We will be engaging with the members of public and reassuring them that Port of Spain is still a safe city and the police officers are still in charge."

On Saturday, a man was shot dead on Henry Street and he died near Church's Chicken on Independence Square. On Friday, another man was shot dead on a busy shopping street at the corner of George and Henry Streets in a drive-by in which another man was critically injured. There have been numbers other shootings and another murder recently on Broadway where a vendor was shot in the head.

Councillor for Woobrook and chairman of the city council's security committee June Durham said, "This has been a fight and it is not easy in comparison to the amount of people we have in the city and the amount of police we have; we don't have enough. But we are going to try and on behalf of all of us here, I send my condolences to the families of the deceased."
