Chief and Deputy Chief of Police to receive vehicle upgrade

In a recent ceremony marking the handover of six new vehicles to the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force (CDPF), Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit unveiled plans to enhance the transportation standards for the nation’s top law enforcement officials. Addressing the gathering, Skerrit emphasized the necessity of upgrading the vehicles assigned to the Chief of Police and the Deputy Chief of Police, particularly for official functions. ‘I will assist with that and ensure that they get appropriate vehicles, fitting of the offices that they hold,’ he declared. The Prime Minister underscored the importance of maintaining high levels of integrity within the police force, warning officers against compromising their roles. ‘Having a gun doesn’t mean that you are safe,’ he cautioned, stressing that compromising state security equates to endangering personal and familial safety. Skerrit urged officers to uphold the law and remain steadfast in their duty to serve and protect, ensuring mutual trust and support among colleagues.
