Police Commissioner, Dr. Kevin Blake, has lauded members of the Constabulary for what he describes as a significant increase in operational activity, which he says is contributing to sustained reductions in violent crime.

He says the figures reflect a coordinated and disciplined approach to policing, underscoring the role of sustained operational pressure in disrupting criminal activity.

The Constabulary has intensified its focus on intelligence-led operations, increased road policing, and targeted interventions, as part of its broader strategy to reduce major crimes and improve public safety.
