03:09You've been there
03:11Oh four hours
03:29Evening Trinidad and Tobago
03:31To our international audience
03:33And of course to our brothers and sisters
03:35In Grenada
03:36We welcome you
03:38This is Beyond the Tape
03:38I'm your host Whitney Husbands
03:40And yes, we have approached the end of yet another week
03:44It's Friday
03:45And I know many of you are excited to embrace the weekend
03:48Now today we have a very interesting show
03:50Because what we will be discussing is crime prevention
03:54And how this organization works hand in hand with the TTPS
03:58To help prevent crime
04:00And also find ways to make sure you are safe
04:03And with that being said
04:05I'd like to welcome the gentleman
04:07My co-host for today
04:08He's the Director of Crime Stoppers of Trinidad and Tobago
04:11Mr. Darren Carmichael
04:12We welcome you
04:13So good evening
04:14And I hope all is well
04:15All is well
04:16I want to thank you very much
04:18You show particularly for hosting us here this evening
04:20And get an opportunity to speak to the public
04:23A little bit more
04:24We welcome every opportunity to do so
04:25I am ready to embrace it
04:28Because this is an opportunity
04:29Where we can showcase to the public
04:31How Crime Stoppers works
04:33When it comes to preventing crime
04:35And making sure that persons in their communities
04:37Are safe
04:38And they are also safe when they give the information
04:40That's correct
04:41Now quickly
04:42Are you watching the World Cup?
04:43Yes I am
04:44What's your favorite team?
04:46France
04:46I would go out on a limb to say France
04:50Why did they want today?
04:52They want today
04:52Okay
04:54The last I saw it was 3-1
04:56It was a good one
04:56Okay good
04:57Excellent
04:57So I think they are on the right track
04:59All right
05:00That is a strong team
05:01Yeah
05:01By the way
05:02And with regards to going to the World Cup
05:04They are saying they are the ones
05:06Look out for it
05:06They might win it again
05:07So we don't know
05:08We will see how that goes
05:08We will see
05:23Sorry the Miss Universe
05:25We just mentioned World Cup
05:27That's okay
05:27Miss Universe was held here in Chenan
05:29That was the year Crime Stoppers was born
05:31Wow
05:32All right
05:32And we have been around ever since
05:34We are pretty much a conduit
05:36Through which the public
05:37Could share information they have with the police
05:41All right
05:42And of course
05:43The mechanism behind Crime Stoppers
05:45Is that it is a safe anonymous hotline
05:47Where your information is given to
05:49We are not the police
05:50We are a private body
05:51Yes
05:52All right
05:52And once you give us that information
05:54It is then channeled on to the police
05:57All right
05:57We have
05:58We are lucky to have with the program
06:00A senior superintendent
06:02Who was assigned
06:03To be the liaison
06:05To be able to get the tips
06:06And get it to the respective agencies
06:09Now it may not be always the police
06:11Because of course
06:12People report on
06:13Maybe customs issues
06:14Yes
06:15Maybe other type of issues
06:16Bureau standard type things
06:18We are closely linked now
06:20To the Anti-Elicitate Trade Task Force
06:21So we provide a channel
06:23So we provide a channel
06:23So people can report
06:24Yes
06:25Illicit goods and that type of thing
06:27Right
06:27Because that's criminal activity
06:28It's criminal activity
06:29Right
06:29So the reality is that
06:31What we do is
06:32We
06:32It's really a tri-priotar relationship
06:36So the public
06:37Who has the information
06:39The police
06:40Who actually respond
06:42And do all the investigations
06:43And of course
06:45And of course the media
06:46Because without you
06:48And programs like this
06:49You know
06:50The voice
06:50The information
06:51It doesn't get out
06:52As often and as fast as it should
06:54Yes there's social media
06:55But we also need the opportunities
06:56Like this
06:57To share the information
06:58All right
06:59So what we do is
07:00We pretty much take
07:01Information through three media
07:05One being the original
07:06You know
07:07800 tips
07:07So we started in the days
07:09With the
07:09We wrote you
07:10Yes
07:10You know some children
07:11Watching this
07:12Should have wondered
07:12What is that
07:13So we started with the
07:14We wrote you phone
07:15Back in the day
07:16And of course
07:18We're now on
07:19Three types of platforms
07:20So we have the
07:21800 tips
07:22800-8477
07:23That's the hotline
07:24We have our website
07:26CrimeStoppersTT.com
07:27And there's our
07:28Web tip portal
07:29You can go to
07:30That will seamlessly
07:31Walk you through
07:32Giving a tip
07:33And doing follow up
07:34Eventually if you have to
07:35All right
07:36And there's also an app now
07:38So we have an app
07:38Called P3 Tips
07:41The letter P
07:42The number three
07:43Tips
07:44Okay
07:44All right
07:44So it's available
07:45P3 the number three
07:46Tips
07:46Yeah
07:47And it's available
07:47On the Android
07:48And iOS platform
07:50So you can go to the app
07:51You can go to the website
07:53Or you can call in
07:55All of them have been
07:56Engineered with your safety
07:57In mind
07:58Confidentiality in mind
07:59So we never know
08:00Who you are when you call
08:01Or when you use
08:02Any of the other
08:02Well I was not going
08:03To dive in there
08:04Like how could you
08:05Guarantee that to the public
08:06Because that is the main question
08:07Exactly
08:08So it's guaranteed
08:09I mean
08:09This is wood
08:10So I could say
08:11Knock wood
08:11Yeah
08:12Knock wood
08:12Yeah yeah yeah
08:13Over the last
08:13You know
08:1427 years plus
08:15We have
08:16We've not had anybody
08:17Who called the program
08:18Compromised
08:19And simply because
08:20The telephone lines
08:22None of it is engineered
08:23With call tracing
08:24Call ID
08:25And all those things on it
08:26Right
08:26And even if it were
08:27We don't ask anybody
08:29For any information
08:30And we don't
08:30We don't have any need
08:32To follow up on those things
08:33Right
08:33So that's safe
08:34And of course
08:35Because crime
08:36Supposed is available
08:37In over 25 countries
08:38Around the world
08:39Right
08:40We have engineered
08:41The app
08:42And the website
08:44Link
08:45And the portal
08:46To be also safe
08:47No IP addresses
08:48You know
08:49Tagged or anything like that
08:50Right
08:50So it's safe
08:51All right
08:51So you can
08:52Safe as you can be
08:53All right
08:53The only thing
08:54The only time
08:55It doesn't become safe
08:56Is if you tell your husband
08:57Or your wife
08:57Or your girlfriend
08:58You know I called crime
08:59Supposed last night
09:00At 6.45pm
09:02And I gave X, Y, and Z
09:04Yes
09:04So
09:04And then the other part of it
09:06So you call it
09:07You call
09:07The call is safe
09:08Yes
09:09We don't ever ask
09:10For information
09:11That would give out
09:11Where you are
09:12Or where you're calling from
09:13Understood
09:13Or your location
09:15To the crime
09:15And that type of thing
09:16And then the other aspect
09:17Is the reward
09:18So the reward money
09:20Is given
09:21Is paid through
09:22Scotiabank
09:23Okay
09:23All right
09:24And what we tell you
09:25When you call
09:25And you get a tip number
09:26And then if the tip
09:28Is successful
09:28We tell you
09:29Well you call back
09:30In 21 days
09:3025 days
09:31To find out
09:32If the tip
09:32Has been successful
09:33By that time
09:34We hopefully
09:35Have feedback
09:35On the validity
09:37Of the tip
09:37And the success
09:38And what was discovered
09:39And so on
09:40And we apportion
09:41A reward
09:42To that
09:43All right
09:43And we are told
09:44At that time
09:45That the reward
09:45Is successful
09:46And we ask you
09:47At which branch
09:48Of Scotiabank
09:49Would you like
09:49To collect it
09:50Okay
09:50And you could be
09:51Living in
09:52Port of Spain
09:53And you could go
09:53To Scarborough
09:54If you feel
09:54And that is no ID
09:56No ID
09:56So when you show up
09:57At the branch
09:58The manager
09:59What we will do
09:59Is we will send
10:02The amount
10:02So we just say
10:04Tip 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
10:05Equals
10:0610,000
10:06And you just shop
10:08You just had to say
10:09Tip 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
10:10No other words
10:11And you can get
10:1310,000 in an envelope
10:14No questions asked
10:15You don't have to sign
10:16For it
10:16Nothing at all
10:17All right
10:17And there is no way
10:19And there is no way
10:19There is no way
10:20That the manager
10:20Could relate
10:21The guns
10:22Or the drugs
10:23To the tip
10:25So the persons
10:26Are very safe
10:27Going into the
10:28And they have done it
10:28I mean we paid out
10:29You know
10:30Huge rewards
10:31You could really imagine
10:32Over a period of time
10:33Because I always wondered
10:33How it worked
10:34When it came to
10:35Getting the payment
10:36Out for tips
10:37That was given
10:38And it was successful
10:39Without identifying
10:40Exactly
10:41You know
10:41And the only challenge
10:43We've had over the years
10:44Is we attempted
10:45To do something
10:46Called youth crime steppers
10:48And you know
10:49In some of the other
10:50Programs around the world
10:51What they would have done
10:52Is they would have given
10:53The children
10:54Top ups on the phone
10:55Yes
10:55You could really imagine
10:57Giving a child
10:58Two hundred dollars
10:59Three hundred dollars
11:00Whatever it is
11:01And you know
11:03That type of
11:04You know
11:04We always feel
11:04That there would have been
11:05A way to flag that
11:06Back to the child
11:07Or you imagine
11:08The child going with
11:08Five hundred dollars
11:09And the parent
11:10Want to know
11:11Where they send me
11:11Where they send me
11:12Or get five hundred dollars
11:13From
11:14So we kind of
11:15Shove that idea
11:16Because while they
11:18Do it in other jurisdictions
11:19We didn't feel safe
11:22Involving youth
11:22So up to this day
11:23We don't know
11:23Whether a child
11:24Walked into
11:25Scotiabank
11:26And say
11:26One, two, three, four, five
11:27We don't know
11:28Right
11:28Because we have
11:29No intention
11:29Of tracking that
11:30So how does
11:31Crime Stoppers
11:31Work alongside
11:32The TTPS
11:33Right
11:33So the police
11:34Like I said
11:35A senior superintendent
11:35Is assigned to the program
11:37And that's really
11:37Because when we get
11:38The information
11:39We can't control
11:40The process
11:42Of the investigation
11:43So the information
11:45Comes in
11:45We send it
11:47To the police
11:47And they would now
11:49Assign it
11:49To an investigator
11:50To either do surveillance
11:51Whatever they need
11:52To do
11:52Get search for
11:53And whatever
11:53To be able to
11:55Continue the investigation
11:56So to speak
11:57Right
11:58Once it's successful
11:59Then they will
12:00Give us the information
12:01To say
12:02Look this tip
12:02Resulted in an arrest
12:03Of one person
12:04We found a weapon
12:05The weapon was linked
12:06To two murders
12:07Three robberies
12:08Whatever it is
12:09And then we put a value
12:10On that
12:10Right
12:11Because you know
12:12One firearm
12:12Might be worth
12:13Three thousand dollars
12:14But then it's
12:15Sold the murder
12:16You know
12:17So we add
12:17And it goes up
12:18We pay up to
12:19Ten thousand dollars
12:20Okay
12:21In the US
12:21They pay up to
12:22Ten thousand US
12:23In the UK
12:24Ten thousand pounds
12:26You know
12:26That's everything
12:26So ten thousand
12:28Is our benchmark
12:28You would have seen
12:30Other times
12:30Where we would have
12:32Offered a hundred thousand reward
12:33Some kidnappings
12:35And so on
12:36And really
12:36A lot of those things
12:37Is not crime
12:38Stopper the program
12:39It might be the victims
12:40Family
12:41Yes
12:41Contributing
12:42So we would do
12:43The advertisement
12:44And we would
12:45They will contribute
12:46That among
12:46So there's no
12:47Disparity in terms of
12:48We're doing this
12:49For this one
12:50And this for somebody
12:50Else
12:51You know what
12:52I was supposed to ask you
12:53Before we went
12:54To that question
12:54With the police
12:55How are you able
12:56To now contact
12:58The person
12:59If the information
13:00If it was anonymous
13:01Yes if it was anonymous
13:03Right
13:03So that's why we tell them
13:04Call back in 21 days
13:05Oh you have to call back
13:06Yes
13:06And that is why
13:07The police work
13:09Is so important
13:09And that is why
13:10The closeness
13:10And the relationship
13:11And the
13:12And you know
13:12The effort that
13:14Because all the success
13:15We have
13:15And I'll tell you
13:16Some of the successes
13:16In a while
13:17Is a result of the police
13:19Work behind the scenes
13:20Right
13:21Because when we tell you
13:22Call back in 21 days
13:23It means you have to
13:24Share the information
13:25About his gun
13:26Somewhere somewhere
13:27Or something
13:27They have to go
13:28And investigate
13:29To what they need
13:29To do in the back end
13:30And you picking up
13:31That phone
13:32Come with me
13:32In 21 days
13:34Sometimes actually
13:35They pick it up
13:35In 5 days
13:36And call
13:37Because they see
13:38A rate take place
13:39Somewhere
13:39So they think
13:40That means
13:41It was successful
13:43So they call back
13:44Before
13:44But of course
13:45In 5 days
13:45We wouldn't get
13:46The feedback
13:46From the police
13:47Because of course
13:47They have other things
13:48To do ballistics
13:49And whatever
13:49Right
13:50So the point is
13:51They call us back
13:52And at that point
13:53If the police
13:53Is on time
13:54We will have to say
13:55Yes the tip
13:56Is successful
13:57XXX
13:58And that's how
13:58They know
13:59How they get you
13:59All right
14:00We'll have more
14:00Of this discussion
14:01And we have more
14:02To discuss
14:02When it comes to
14:03Crime stoppers
14:04And initiatives
14:05That you all are also
14:07A part of
14:07Within Trinidad
14:08And Tobago
14:09To make sure
14:10That we are
14:10Stay proactive
14:11Being proactive
14:12Which is very
14:12Very important
14:13Now right now
14:14Just some quick
14:15Information from
14:16The TTPS media release
14:17Six held
14:18Three firearms
14:19Cannabis

47:58Most of the police inspectors and sergeants from the division or the station, they are on the WhatsApp chats to
48:04these communities, which is a plus because they get to see firsthand the suspicious reports, the suspicious vehicles, the persons,
48:11the kind of things that are happening, the video clips of suspicious activity overnight and so on.
48:16And most of the times they're very responsive on the chats and they lend that kind of support that is
48:21absolutely necessary.
48:22So, you know, so if before persons had an opinion about the police, you know, some people have a lot
48:27of historic kind of opinions going back 20-something years.
48:31Today, the modern policing that is taking place suggests that, you know, it's a new type of policing.
48:38It's certainly community-oriented and they support the communities 110%, right, to the community program.
48:47So you believe it's an effective tool to have when it comes to fighting crime?
48:54Absolutely, absolutely.
48:55You see, you know, the public, rest your mind, the public is everywhere.
48:59The communities know their areas best.
49:02So what they provide is that natural human intelligence that the police require to do their job.
49:08So they know where the persons pass, where the tracks are, where the thing would be hiding.
49:12They will see the activity that might be strange if somebody is abducted and being held in a home.
49:17They see a certain kind of characters coming in.
49:20With the SOE now, people running from places that they live and they're going to these communities and renting homes
49:25and so on.
49:26So renters have a whole model of how to be cautious, how to make sure and vet persons and so
49:31on.
49:32So it's an ecosystem that ties back to the very tenets of what Neighborhood Watch is.
49:37Neighborhood Watch is our community, people looking after each other, right?
49:41You could no longer live in a community and we not know who you are.
49:45So it beckons one of the critical things is to know your neighbors, get to understand them and so on.
49:49Sesame Street long ago.
49:50Yes, of course.
49:51You remember that?
49:52That's something that we learned.
49:53Yeah, we learned that.
49:54Who are the people in your neighborhood?
49:57In your neighborhood.
49:57In your neighborhood, yes.
49:59You have to know them.
49:59You have to know.
50:00And it really was because homegrown terrorism was on the rise, right?
50:05We have our own kind of terrorism here, if you want to call it that, right?
50:08The criminals are ruthless, right?
50:10They are fully resourced, they're committed, they're focused, and they're relentless.
50:16So therefore, we need to build a mechanism, that is Neighborhood Watch, to support the police and the activities.
50:22Now, Mr. Carmichael, what do you say to people?
50:23Because there are times on the show, you know, persons will say, police officers always do all their jobs.
50:29They always want the citizens to help, help, help, help, help, and assist you all in, you know, conducting your
50:35duties and what you're supposed to do.
50:37You all are the police officers.
50:38But how important is it for citizens when they see something, they should say something?
50:44It's critical.
50:45You see, bear in mind, and I go back to the point, there are only so many thousand police officers.
50:50We are 1.4 million people.
50:52Correct.
50:52So, and you know, I want to put this other number in there, you know, in our community where you
50:58live, it's probably only two people or five people plaguing the whole neighborhood, you know.
51:02Five of them against 5,000 of us.
51:04Yes.
51:04Right?
51:05So we have given the criminals too much power, I believe.
51:08All right?
51:09And it's only because we are disjointed, we are apart, we're not cohesive as a community.
51:14Right?
51:14So one of the things that we have to exercise is that relationship with each other, look out for each
51:19other.
51:19We would know who belong and who doesn't belong.
51:21And who doesn't belong, the strange car that's circling too often, the person who's peeping into car glasses, who opening
51:27door handles, who looking, who strange cars showing up and making a block and so on.
51:31Those are the strange activities.
51:32And once we could keep reporting that, the police will do their part and intercept, and then we would have
51:38a safer community.
51:39One thing spreads really quickly.
51:41Criminals say, see that area, boy?
51:42Taboo.
51:42Don't go there again.
51:43Because they just make a block and the police pull them over.
51:46You know, that is the kind of relationship we have.
51:49Very important.
51:49We have a caller on the line.
51:50Call a good evening.
51:51Yes.
51:51Good evening, good evening.
51:53Good evening.
51:54Herbman and Mr. Carmichael from Crime Stoppers, I believe, right?
51:58Yes, correct.
52:00So two questions to Mr. Carmichael.
52:03The first one, Mr. Carmichael, what metrics you are using to determine if Crime Stoppers is delivering and is successful?
52:15And I'm putting that into context that crime over the last 10 years has basically increased significantly for the last
52:2510 years.
52:26The second thing, you're seeing citizens like me must be a hard target.
52:31And one of the system, you're seeing citizens like me who want to clear that system is not free by
52:55a supplier.
52:57And I'm going to put further.
52:59Do you all have a vendor validation list that we can call up and say, hey, is this a good
53:05thing?
53:05Because I know for a fact some of those people who are stalling and supplying you are fleecing people.
53:11I'm going to have a nice decision and it's not fair.
53:14All right.
53:14Thank you so much.
53:15Well, Crime Stoppers works because, I mean, not just because we say that it does.
53:20When we look at these statistics, the amount of firearms seized, the amount of activity that is solved, the crime
53:26that is solved, we know it's working.
53:28It could be better.
53:29It could always be better.
53:30We could always ask more persons to call in and so on.
53:33But the reality is we are providing an avenue.
53:37All right.
53:38What it means now is that people who have information have to get the confidence.
53:42So we have built over the years that kind of trust and confidence that people will use the program.
53:46And we know that we've done surveys that pretty much said that people are confident with the program.
53:50So the metric is really once we get a tip, we run it through the course, police investigate,
53:58and they make an arrest or sometimes not.
54:01But the point is the caller is satisfied that they would have seen some kind of action.
54:05They see the doors being kicked down or they hear about it or they see like in some of the
54:08things that you would see the kind of success that the police is having.
54:11It wouldn't always say Crime Stoppers.
54:13Are we okay with that?
54:14Yes.
54:14Because it's about protecting the identity.
54:16Now, we have a few seconds.
54:18Yes.
54:18But with the last question, he asks which persons weren't stalling there.
54:22Well, in any situation, you have persons who may want to go that route.
54:26So what we say is look for reputable companies that put in systems.
54:30The system prices are not too far away from that.
54:33And of course, if you feel, you still feel unsure, we're in our age now.
54:38Five years ago, ten years ago, we didn't have that.
54:40But today, you could go on Amazon and buy a simple Wi-Fi kind of system.
54:45And you could install it to something.
54:46It's a, you know, what you call, you could hook it up yourself, basically.
54:50Right?
54:50And at least have something.
54:52That's there.
54:53So that you can see here.
54:53Because on your phone, you could actually see a few cameras if you have to.
54:57But at least have something.
54:58Give them the numbers again if they need to contact.
55:01Crime Stoppers.
55:02Crime Stoppers.
55:02So Crime Stoppers is 800-TIPS, 800-8477.
55:06The website is CrimeStoppersTT.com.
55:08Or the app is P3Tips.
55:11Either one of those mechanisms, you can contact the Crime Stoppers program.
55:15Thank you so much, Mr. Kamaka, for being here.
55:17The director of Crime Stoppers TNT.
55:20That's it for us.
55:21We get ready for news coming up next.
55:23Have an enjoyable and safe weekend.
55:25Continue being a hard target and a law-abiding citizen.
