He also commended the Police for their work and advised that he has been working closely with them to eradicate the crime issue.
“We do believe that we need to work with the Police in an effort to solve this .jpg)
problem and we know this is what the public wants and is what they want immediately.
I must assure the public however that I have the fullest confidence in the Police and that the Police have been working very hard both on the island of Nevis and along with their colleagues in St. Kitts to try to arrest this problem.
I myself have been in contact with the Second in Command on the island of St. Kitts and I have spoken the Prime Minister about this matter,” Hon. Parry said.
He also appealed to the public to work with the Police to help curb crime on the island.
“I would want to ask the community to put their fullest support behind the Police and to give them whatever information is available at all times. ~~Adz:Left~~
Policing is not an easy business and the community can help the Police by sharing information with the Police. I advise the public to be vigilant, to observe what is taking place around them, to look at strange faces and strange movements in villages and communities and to contact the Police immediately to give them the information,” Premier Parry said.
The officers present were Superintendent Samuel Seabrookes, Inspectors Trevor Mills and Andre Mitchell, Sergeants Winston Wilkinson, Alonzo Carty and James Hazel.
The meeting was held in the Nevis Island Assembly’s (NIA) Cabinet Room at Bath Hotel.
