That should help the murder rate go down
They're addressing that issue. They recently declared a state of emergency, deployed more police and military, cracked down on illegal firearms, and are instituting violence prevention programs. Replacing the coat of arms may not directly lower the murder rate, but it's still important. Multiple issues can be tackled at once.

Trinidad got rid of the British Queen in the 70s and replaced her with an elected President..sad because other West Indian nations still retained the British monarchy.
