Authorities in St. Kitts have issued a formal security alert urging heightened vigilance for residents and visitors utilizing the Frigate Bay golf course and adjacent areas. The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force disseminated the advisory on Thursday evening, January 15, 2026, following unspecified incident reports that prompted security concerns.
While police officials declined to elaborate on the precise nature of the reported incidents, they emphasized the critical need for increased personal awareness and cautious behavior in the designated zone. The advisory specifically encourages immediate reporting of any suspicious individuals or activities to law enforcement authorities.
This security notice emerges alongside Commissioner of Police James Sutton’s recently announced strategic initiatives to combat emerging crime patterns. Despite overall crime statistics showing a decline throughout 2025, Commissioner Sutton had previously highlighted a concerning trend toward accelerated interpersonal violence during recent public briefings.
The Police Force confirmed ongoing investigations in collaboration with security partners to address public safety concerns and prevent potential incidents. The comprehensive security strategy for 2026 focuses on five pivotal areas: enhanced community policing with deeper neighborhood integration, technology-augmented crime detection through advanced data systems, targeted operations against illegal firearms and habitual offenders, proactive crime prevention protocols, and youth engagement programs emphasizing early intervention.
Law enforcement officials reiterated that effective crime prevention constitutes a shared societal responsibility, requiring active cooperation between citizens and security forces to maintain public safety.
