History


Crime Watch started on WIN TV in 2008 airing Thursdays at 6PM. The show gained initial fame until it was later dropped on 17 February 2011 due to complaints of its controversial nature. It was then picked up by CCN TV6 and began airing on 11 April 2011. Disagreements with management resulting from a lawsuit brought against the station after it showed a video clip depicting the rape of a minor, the show's contract was allowed to expire on 10 April 2013.
A new contract was secured with another media house, CNC3, and began airing on 23 April 2013 until the show was axed on 1 September 2016 due to controversial statements made about contracts awarded to complete the Brian Lara Stadium. During its time off air, Crime Watch streamed on Facebook Live until securing a television contract with Synergy TV and began airing on 15 November 2016.
In 2015, the show and its host were profiled by The American Scholar magazine.

Ian Alleyne is currently supported by the Police Commissioner Gary Griffith who has appeared via phone calls on the show multiple times to help resolve criminal occurrences.
There was controversy at a time that Alleyne use to avoid stories about long time friend Sheron Sukdeo. Sukdeo was a car dealer that was accused by many of being one of the biggest drug dealers in Trinidad but was gunned down in 2018. As a result, Alleyne condoned the shootings and stated than while he was friends with the deceased, he was not biased in any way.
Dana Alleyne is a producer of the show.
