ST. GEOPRGE’S, Grenada, 7th JULY, 2011 - Prime Minister and Minister for National Security, Hon. Tillman Thomas has assured the Grenadian public that his administration fully supports the efforts of the Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF) in addressing the security issues in the country.
The Prime Minister, accompanied by his security team, this afternoon met with the senior management of the force to address security in general, and a plan by the RGPF to deal with the recent spate of robberies affecting the island.
“Any activity that affects our peace and security in our country must be given urgent and immediate attention. We will give all the necessary support to you in the fight to reduce crime and its impact on our economic recovery, our tourism and our investment potential,” the Prime Minister told today’s meeting.
He called on the RGPF to find creative approaches to enhance security at various locations around the island, especially in business centers, and particularly, in view of the upcoming Carnival celebrations.
“It is an area we should not compromise. We want our people and our visitors to feel safe when they participate in or attend activities,” the Prime Minister told Commissioner Clarkson and members of the RGPF.
Commissioner Clarkson briefed the Government team on the current situation and assured Prime Minister Thomas that the RGPF is working assiduously to solve the recent spate of criminal activities and has taken steps to stop any planned crimes.
“We have taken certain proactive steps that will stop some of these activities. We appeal to the public for their cooperation and understanding in our fight against all forms of criminal activity,” the Commissioner said, following Thursday’s meeting.
Prime Minister Thomas also used the opportunity to commend the Fire Service of the Royal Grenada Police Force for its handling of Tuesday’s fire which destroyed the buildings in the ‘drill yard,’ in St. George’s.
