Suriname Police Force (KPS) has announced a significant escalation of security protocols nationwide in response to escalating criminal activities and anticipated holiday season crowds. The comprehensive strategy involves heightened police surveillance at strategic locations across the country to address both organized crime and street-level criminality.
Despite consistent successes in dismantling criminal networks, KPS authorities acknowledge the persistent emergence of new criminal organizations. Rather than scaling back operations, law enforcement agencies are doubling down on their efforts with maximum deployment of resources and personnel. The approach includes intensive road checkpoints, enhanced visible presence in high-risk areas, and expanded application of Special Investigative Powers legislation.
Police officials emphasize that these coordinated measures aim to restrict criminal mobility while enhancing public safety for all citizens. The strategy specifically targets the anticipated increase in criminal activity during the festive period, with authorities implementing proactive measures to prevent potential security breaches.
KPS has issued a public appeal for community vigilance, urging citizens to promptly report suspicious activities or disturbances. Law enforcement officials stress that public cooperation and willingness to report anomalies are critical components for the success of the nationwide security operation.
The police force assures citizens that public safety remains their unwavering priority while requesting public understanding regarding the intensified security measures expected to continue through the coming weeks. Officials emphasize that these temporary inconveniences are necessary for maintaining long-term public security.
