Officials emphasized Grenada’s exceptional public safety record, social stability, and robust law enforcement capabilities that continue to make it one of the Caribbean’s premier locations.
Grenada’s deep connections with the United States form a cornerstone of its international relations, with a significant population of American citizens residing, working, studying, and investing across the tri-island nation.

The nation maintains an exceptionally low crime rate of approximately 4 incidents per 100,000 people—a figure that reflects comprehensive public safety initiatives, proactive policing strategies, and active community engagement programs.
The Royal Grenada Police Force maintains advanced rapid response systems and demonstrates strong investigative capabilities with high crime solvency rates. These operational strengths ensure continuous public safety through institutional preparedness and professional law enforcement practices. Grenada’s security apparatus maintains open communication channels and ongoing cooperation with international partners, including United States security agencies.
Tourism infrastructure operates under rigorously maintained safety protocols, with communities renowned for their genuine hospitality and respectful treatment of visitors. Hundreds of thousands of international travelers experience Grenada’s renowned cultural richness and world-class amenities annually, contributing to its reputation as a destination where travelers feel authentically welcomed and secure.
