Boots, boots, boots and more boots!
Prime Minister Mia Mottley is going after the guns.
She emerged from a long day of talks with local and regional law enforcement officials yesterday to reveal that police officers across the country would give up two off-days each month, and 80 soldiers from the Barbados Defence Force would now be utilised to help quiet Barbados’ streets over the next few months.
Mottley promised she would not sit idly by and allow Barbadians to be stuck in their homes and not be able to travel freely and safely, as they have for decades.
And, enter the former top cop.
The Prime Minister also revealed that former commissioner of police Darwin Dottin would be bringing more than 40 years of law enforcement experience back to the Royal Barbados Police Force as a consultant to assist current Commissioner of Police Tyrone Griffith in stemming the illegal-gun problem.
