March 23, 2023

The Regional Security System is worried about the escalating gun violence in its member states and its impact on the society.

Executive Director, Commodore Errington Shurland told the 40th RSS Council of Ministers’ Meeting in Grenada the violence is taking a heavy toll, not only in respect of loss of life but also with injuries and psychological trauma.

He told leaders it’s important countries in the region deal with the issue of corruption in relation to gun violence.

The RSS head is pressing for the application of hard and soft responses through a whole of society approach.

Commodore Shurland says the RSS continues its work in reducing transnational crime and weakening the financial strength of its actors.

He says several successes have been recorded in the fight throughout 2022.
