Roseau Dominica, June 30th 2011 - Dominica is better poised to collaborate with other countries of the region in the area of information sharing as it relates to fighting crime.
This comes as a result of Dominica’s participation in the fourth Hemispheric and Intelligence Conference which was held in Santiago, Chile from June 07-09, 2011.
Dominica’s Chief of Police, Cyril Carrette Dominica’s Chief of Police, Cyril Carrette, along with head of the island’s Criminal Investigative Department (CID), Davidson Valerie, joined their counterparts from thirty-two other countries for the important forum. The island’s Chief of Police views this meeting as having several potential benefits for Dominica.
“We met with our counterparts from thirty-two (32) other countries where we discussed measures where we can collaborate with each other. We tried to ensure that there was trust among the partners and that we could make information sharing a little much easier in our crime fighting efforts.
It has been realised that no one country can fight crime on its own. There must be a collaborative effort as crimes now transcend the national boundaries.
”The issue of crime fighting continues to be a challenge for most countries and Dominica is no exception. The Police Chief said that it is necessary that Dominica explore all avenues to fight crime and keep it at a minimum.
“We try to ensure that we were able to agree with the sharing of our resources: human and other resources. The countries who are better able will help the countries who are less able to deal with those situations because gone are the days when we could say that what is happening, for example, in America will not happen in Dominica.
The world is now a global village; it is becoming smaller so we have to use whatever means possible to ensure that we can mitigate the effects of crime in our communities.”
