THE GOAL
A SAFE, SECURE, EFFICIENT & PRODUCTIVE T&T
Without safety and security there can be nostability and without stability there can be noreal growth.
The creation of a motivated TTPS that will deliver effective and efficient law enforcement, thereby providing immediate and short term solutions with essential long term benefits to restore law and order and realise safety and security in T & T.
The Strategy
Est. # Motorists: 350,000 (nationwide over a 24hr time span)
200 Traffic Police Officers issuing 10 tickets per day at an average of TT $ 1,000 per ticket.
TT $ 2,000,000 (2 Million) in Government Revenue per day.
TT $ 730,000,000 in Annual Revenue
All through a basic traffic law enforcement management system.
ECONOMIC BENEFIT: REVENUE GENERATION
REDUCTION IN ROAD CARNAGE WITH A SIMULTANEOUS REDUCTION IN CRIME
ALLEVIATION OF THE CURRENT BURDEN ON OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM (CURRENTLY ESTIMATED AT
US$35,000,000)
ALLEVIATION OF THE CURRENT BURDEN ON OUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM
INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY DUE TO EFFECIENT TRAFFIC FLOW FOR GOODS AND SERVICES
ENHANCED BUSINESS INVESTMENT CLIMATE DUE TO A GREATER SENSE OF SAFETY AND SECURITY
BENEFIT: REVENUE GENERATION
CREATE A MOTIVATED TTPS
Effective and Efficient Law Enforcement is virtually impossible with a Demotivated & Demoralised TTPS.
1. Immediately revise TTPS compensation package
2. Immediately commence a needs assessment on TTPS working conditions and resources
HOW DO WE ACHIEVE THIS ?
In an emergency room the first objective is to stabilise the patient. Without stability no specific ailment can be treated.
T&T is in an emergency room and needs to be stabilised to begin fixing critical entrenched issues that affect our growth and productivity such as: Illegality, Illiteracy, Corruption, etc, etc.
