00:00We have analyzed quite a number of PDOs, but in terms of what our understanding of what's supposed to be
00:07done, it's like this.
00:08You cannot replace normal police operations and use that data to support any successful SOE.
00:17I'm not saying that this present administration has. I'm saying that we're in the process of analyzing that data.
00:22C.J. Williams made it clear 24 hours after he announced that they were taking up the cases of 25
00:28just-released detainees under the state of emergency, that they were still analyzing the data.
00:34He believes that the use of police statistics can never truly determine if an SOE was successful, as they were
00:40soothing comparisons that first needed to be made.
00:43A. Comparators will always be needed, and for that purpose, our team, we have already analyzed approximately 400 preventative detention
00:54orders, the names of the gun, and some of those names probably ought to be science fiction, seriously speaking, golden

01:07Jamaican attorney at law, Daniel Archer, said the quantum law firm had a vested interest in making a difference in
01:14the region, and as part of that commitment, they expect to launch the Caribbean Urban Peace Initiative in early October
01:21across several communities in Trinidad and Tobago affected by crime.
01:25We want to build an initiative that transforms itself into a movement. When people see and feel the cost, then
01:31they understand that this trauma, the conditions, everything that we're experiencing collectively, we have a role to play.
01:37And so we ignite the movement through the initiative, and at the launch, we'll indicate to you all the parts,
01:43all the movement parts.
01:44But what we want you to understand today is the lawyers care. Our law firm cares. We go beyond the
01:51responsibility of just being an advocate. And we're setting a standard for all law firms to recognize that we have
01:59a social responsibility through building a foundation that is vested in every community.
