| | Jamaica Gleaner - Ad blitz fires back at gang crime in London - Thursday | August 15, 2002 |
 | | FOLLOWING ON a dramatic increase in gang-related shootings on the streets of London last month, the Metropolitan Police's Operation Trident Squad has launched a new advertising campaign which aims to encourage the public to work with police, and not let guns and drugs ruin their community. |
 | | Commander Alan Brown, head of Operation Trident, which was set up two years ago to combat fl-on-fl violence in London, said the new campaign is designed to create a hostile environment for the perpetrators of gun crime and will target six London boroughs: Brent, Hackney, Haringey, Lambeth, Newham and Southwark. |
 | | Speaking this week at a press launch in Brixton, South London, Commander Brown noted that since April 2001, Trident has expanded its operation to investigate murders as well as other shootings which include retribution and reprisals attacks, all a spin-off of the drugs war. |
