Police Commission Reflect on Tough First Six Months

Police Commissioner Verne Garde says his first six months leading the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force have been “no walk in the park.” Speaking at the force’s first press conference of the year, Garde highlighted his focus on capacity-building, succession planning, and achieving 85% of the Anti-Crime Plan. As he embarks on his one-year tenure, he pledges to strengthen oversight and accountability within the force.
