In a public statement issued from the Office of the Commissioner of Police, the Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF) confirmed Wednesday, May 27, 2026, that it has been formally notified of widespread allegations claiming hotel workers across the island have faced sexual abuse at the hands of foreign visitors. The allegations were first brought to public attention during an official sitting of Grenada’s House of Parliament, prompting law enforcement to address the matter directly. To date, no formal written or official complaint has been filed with the RGPF regarding these claims. Even so, the department stressed that all allegations of sexual violence and exploitation are treated with the utmost gravity, regardless of whether a formal complaint has been submitted. The force has made a public commitment to launch full, transparent, and thorough investigations into any claim of this nature that is officially brought to its attention. To advance any potential inquiry into the allegations, the RGPF is actively urging members of the public, including current and former hotel staff, witnesses, or any other individual with relevant information that could support an investigation, to reach out to authorities immediately. Tips can be submitted through multiple accessible channels: the dedicated Criminal Investigations Department hotline at 440-3921, the national 911 police emergency line, or by visiting any local police station across the country. This announcement comes as allegations of workplace sexual misconduct in Grenada’s key tourism sector have raised growing concerns over worker protections, highlighting the need for formal reporting and law enforcement action to address potential gaps in safety for hospitality employees.
