Police Want To Extend SOE But Politicians Have A Different Calculus
posted (April 18, 2024)

So with all this gang activity in dynamic ferment, will the Home Affairs Minister agree to extend the SOE? The commissioner has been pushing for it, but the political calculus is different. We asked Musa about it today:

Kareem Musa, Minister of Home Affairs
"I believe the SOE expires next week Friday or so, those are discussions we are currently having at the Cabinet level and you will know soon enough whether that decision will be made but I will not disclose that at this time."

"If it is that you are going to be charging any of the individuals, for instance, the particular SOE, if you look at it, has had great success in that it snuffed out, it flushed out the actors from PIV that took all of their stash to an island and so we were able to flush them out and identify all of these high powered weapons and take them off the street saving many lives and so those individuals will be charged. The investigation in relation to the two murders, those are ongoing, whether there is an SOE or not, those investigations will continue."
