The evolution of technology world wide has had an impact on the way we transact business on a daily basis. The world has become small, allowing the exchange of goods and services with the touch of a button.
Even in T&T we see the effects of this; online shopping and even crimes are reported using Facebook and other social media applications.
So it disturbs me greatly when I read in the newspapers yesterday that an Acting Senior Supt stated that they have to contact the Chaguanas Police Station to find out if a suspect has outstanding matters there!
It is ridiculous in this day and age of technological advancement! Should not our police personnel be able to, at a touch of a button, access a suspect's details, especially if they were arrested before?
It is time to leverage on the information technology that exists to assist in making T&T more secure by allowing information to be accessible by all involved in the process.
