ZOSO Needs Cameras and Roots | Trinidad and Tobago News

Criminologist Dr. Randy Seeper sad is urging mandatory body-worn cameras for police if the government advances ZOSO — Zones of Special Operations — as the State of Emergency winds down. While acknowledging ZOSO’s potential, he insists it must include robust safeguards: transparent procedures, accountability mechanisms, and judicial oversight to ensure fair treatment. He warns against viewing ZOSO solely as a policing tool, advocating instead for integrated social programs that tackle root causes of crime through education and skills training — a core element of the original bill. Seeper sad hopes the revised legislation addresses past failures while embedding strong human rights protections, cautioning that overreliance on force could erode public trust. Ultimately, he calls for moving beyond emergency measures toward sustainable, community-focused policing strategies.
