A Force with Deep Roots

The RSCNPF has a proud history of service to the Federation. Before its establishment on January 1, 1960, law enforcement was managed by the Antigua-based “B” Division of the Leeward Islands Police Force, formed in 1874, which oversaw security in territories including St. Kitts, Nevis, Anguilla, Montserrat, Dominica, and the British Virgin Islands.

In 1966, during her visit to the then colony of St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II conferred the prestigious “Royal” title upon the Force, in recognition of its exceptional service. Following Anguilla’s separation, the police body adopted the name it bears today: Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force.

Safeguarding the Nation

Today, the RSCNPF’s mandate extends beyond traditional law enforcement. Its responsibilities include crime prevention, investigation, traffic management, community engagement, and public safety. The Force continues to evolve to meet modern security challenges, investing in training, technology, and international cooperation to remain effective and trusted.

By fostering partnerships with local communities, government agencies, and global allies, the RSCNPF continues its mission of safeguarding lives, upholding the law, and maintaining peace throughout the Federation.

Now, the call is out for a new generation of officers to step forward. If you have the dedication, discipline, and drive to serve, this is your chance to help shape the future of law enforcement in St. Kitts and Nevis.
