THE governor’s task force against terrorism and prostitution will be reactivated, according to Public Safety Commissioner Edward Camacho.
Camacho told reporters on Friday that the reactivation is part of the administration’s war on crimes.
He said the anti-terrorism task force will prevent any terrorist activities in the commonwealth.
The task force was revived due to the ongoing activities for the Fourth of July celebrations, the first anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Labor Day, and other holidays “where there are people gathering in any given place.”
Camacho said the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are spearheading the task force.
He said DPS, the Attorney General’s Office, the Division of Customs Services, and the Emergency Management Office are members of the task force.
Camacho said “the community is vulnerable” to terrorist attacks.
But he added that measures are in place.
The federal government, moreover, is helping the CNMI enforce other protection and security measures, he said.
With respect to the prostitution issue, Camacho said DPS will work with AGO’s investigation unit, the Mayor’s Office, the Department of Finance, Commerce, Labor and Immigration.
“A whole bunch of folks will be coming together again and start talking on how to curb prostitution in the commonwealth,” he said.
