SOURCE: DOMINICA NEWS ONLINE-<\/strong> Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has announced the establishment of a dedicated firearms task force within the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force (CDPF), aimed at identifying, apprehending, and prosecuting individuals involved in the possession, trafficking, and use of illegal firearms.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The announcement was made during a press conference on Monday, following a series of troubling gun-related incidents across the country. Skerrit described the recent acts of violence as \u201cbrazen and reckless,\u201d noting that they have disrupted public peace and shaken the sense of safety \u201cwe hold dear as a people.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUpon my return to the country on Sunday, I convened an emergency meeting with law enforcement and security officials to thoroughly assess the situation and review the response to these incidents,\u201d Skerrit stated. \u201cToday, I am announcing a series of decisive and immediate measures to address the situation head on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chief among these measures is the creation of the Firearms Task Force, which will operate as a multi-agency unit. It will draw personnel and resources from the CDPF\u2019s Criminal Investigation Department, Special Branch, K9 Unit, Customs and Excise Division, Dominica Coast Guard, and the National Joint Intelligence Center (NJIC).<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe task force will adopt an aggressive and coordinated approach to stamp out illegal weapons from our streets,\u201d Skerrit said. \u201cAnd obviously, we will also coordinate and collaborate with regional agencies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effective immediately, the government has launched a confidential hotline\u20141-800-8477\u2014for citizens to report illegal firearms or suspicious activity. Skerrit announced that individuals who provide information leading to the retrieval of illegal firearms or ammunition will receive a reward of $1,000 per firearm.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour identity will be protected, your civic duty will be rewarded,\u201d he assured.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, a limited amnesty period has been declared for those in possession of illegal firearms or ammunition to surrender them to law enforcement without fear of prosecution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a chance for citizens to do the right thing and avoid the full force of the law,\u201d Skerrit said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government will begin installing surveillance camera systems across Dominica, starting with the capital city of Roseau. Skerrit described this as a long-term investment in national security infrastructure and a deterrent to criminal activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the interim, police have been directed to increase foot and mobile patrols throughout Roseau and other areas. \u201cWe must restore confidence and ensure that law-abiding citizens can go about their lives without fear,\u201d Skerrit emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also announced the engagement of a special prosecutor to handle major gun-related offenses and declared a ban on the use of tinted windows on all rented vehicles. \u201cThe police have advised that the majority of these crimes are carried out utilizing rented vehicles that are highly and heavily tinted,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing those who may be involved in illegal firearm activity, Skerrit issued a stern warning: \u201cWe will find you, we will disarm you, and we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. Dominica is a peaceful nation and will not permit our streets to become battlegrounds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He urged all citizens to remain vigilant, cooperate with law enforcement, and report wrongdoing. \u201cThis is our country and we all have a role to play in keeping it safe. Fighting crime must be seen as a societal responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skerrit expressed gratitude to the men and women of the CDPF for their continued dedication to public safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou have the full support of this government once you carry out your duties within the confines of the constitution and laws of Dominica,\u201d he said. \u201cWe will ensure that our country remains a safe place to live, work, and raise our families.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Prime Minister issued a call for national unity: \u201cLet us pledge today to put aside all differences and unite in the defense of our country by rejecting the culture of violence. Let us show care and concern for our fellow citizens, ensuring that we can all continue to enjoy the peace and tranquility of our Nature Island, Dominica.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He extended his condolences to the family of 26-year-old Jeanyves Bruno of Canefield, who died in a recent violent incident, and offered wishes for the full and swift recovery of those injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will not allow individuals with illegal firearms to destabilize our communities, endanger lives, and undermine our national security,\u201d Skerrit declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
