The Police Service says operational preparations are in place as people held under Preventive Detention Orders are released in phases. Deputy Commissioner Suzette Martin says targeted operations and greater police visibility will be used where security assessments require them. Investigations will continue, but police stress that release or revocation of a detention order is not, by itself, grounds for action against an individual. Any further action must rest on evidence and the law. The public is being encouraged to report criminal activity.
