In a significant diplomatic engagement, Admiral Alvin Holsey, Commander of the United States Southern Command, convened with senior officials of the Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF) on October 15, 2025, at the Police Headquarters in St. George’s. The meeting underscored the deepening collaboration between the two entities, focusing on technical and logistical support, humanitarian aid, disaster relief, and the potential for future joint initiatives. This dialogue followed the recent visit of the US Navy’s Medical Ship, which highlighted the scope of bilateral cooperation. Admiral Holsey’s visit to Grenada marked one year since he assumed leadership of the US Southern Command, succeeding General Laura Richardson. The discussions also emphasized enhanced training opportunities for Grenadian law enforcement and joint exercises to bolster operational readiness. The meeting was hosted by Commissioner of Police Randy Connaught, alongside Deputy Commissioner Jessmond Prince, Assistant Commissioner Vannie Curwen, and National Security Advisor Wilan Thompson. US Ambassador to the Eastern Caribbean States, Karin Sullivan, accompanied Admiral Holsey. While the engagement was described as cordial and productive, Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell’s absence, despite being initially scheduled to attend, remained unexplained. This meeting is part of a broader regional tour by Admiral Holsey, aimed at reinforcing partnerships with Caribbean nations.
