 Crime fighting will be another area of focus in the coming year. In the first instance, we must tackle the effectiveness of crime detection and avoidance. This will require new technology, training and infrastructure. We will be building new facilities for the police in Grozile and Castries, provide additional vehicles and equipment. Monitoring and surveillance will be boosted for the use of modern technology. We will seek to improve police accountability and professionalism and also improve their conditions of work. We will take concrete action to reduce the backlog of cases by the appointment of new judges in the criminal justice system. We will strengthen the laws against domestic abuse. We will also reinitiate plans for the creation of a new halls of justice complex, separate and distinct from that of the police headquarters. However, you must also address the root causes of crime as well. Attention will be given to our system of social support, particularly our human and family support services.
