New National Security Minister Stuart Young took up duty at the ministry yesterday meeting with several executives of that ministry.
A statement from the ministry said he was first briefed by permanent Secretary Vel Lewis on the current business in the ministry.
It said he then got straight to business by meeting with heads of divisions and units. In that forum, he urged the importance of engagement, focus and prioritisation as well as the pursuit of solution-oriented strategies to confront issues of crime and criminality.
Subsequently, he was briefed on current matters at a security operations meeting with heads of the Defence and Protective
Services.
It said he received an update on the strategies currently being pursued by the various National Security agencies in the fight against crime.
The meeting also served to clarify the support and resources needed by the agencies from the Ministry of National Security.
Young said he was looking forward to full commitment and support from all heads and staff as he intends to strongly lead the ministry forward in the fight against crime and in improving the safety and security of citizens.
