The recently held CARICOM Heads of Government Special Summit on Crime has yielded big results for the region. As a result of the Trinidad and Tobago the Heads of governments have decided to enhance and expand the very successful arrangements that were put in place for Cricket World Cup 2007. The leaders have committed to re-establishing a common visa for visitors to the region also agreed to renew the system of having airlines submit advance passenger lists on the persons who are booked to be flown into the Caribbean. Another measure of the CWC to be returned, this time on permanent bases, is the Rapid Deployment Force that will respond to any emergency security situation in Caricom. The leaders have also agreed to revive the regional intelligence centre in Port of Spain and the joint communication centre in Bridgetown. These measures are to be developed, agreed upon and put in place before the Summit of the Americas conference in April 2009.
