But, from a public safety standpoint, the commissioner conceded that
robberies are on the rise. He discussed what businesses can do to keep
safe:
Chester Williams - Commissioner of Police
"We know the fact that people out there who are frustrated, people are
desperate and so, while it is that they may not have a job to sustain
themselves, people resort to other activities with a view to sustain
themselves but my advice to business establishments is, to try as best as
you can not to keep large amount of money within your establishment. Do
your deposit at random hours, stagger your hours. Try not to allow too much
people to know where you keep your money and ensure you know who you are
hiring because sometimes you find that these robberies are orchestrated
from inside. I have also directed the police that if it is that any
business establishment were to ask for police escort. Escorting them to the
bank to make their deposit, that we must facilitate."
