The commissioner added that even though homicides and shootings continue to be of great concern for the nation, “Our officers have taken 20 illegal firearms from the streets to date in 2015.” He continued by saying, “Our counter narcotics efforts have resulted in much success with the removal of over 830lbs of marijuana and almost 4lbs of cocaine from the streets.”

 

Commissioner Liburd commended the officers and encouraged them to continue working hard to ensure that the Federation is safe for visitors and residents to enjoy.

 

“You, the men and women are the cementing factor of this force. 2016 will be a year of continued challenges, and our work will be guided by a three(3) year Strategic Plan , a Service Delivery Improvement Plan  and the ‘Six Point Plan’. In 2016, I ask that each of you as a member of the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force endeavor to strengthen your relationship with the communities in which you serve.
