Community Policing Initiative Yields Positive Results
Police officers from the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF) conducted a community policing initiative in the areas of Stoney Grove, Ramsbury, and Craddock Road, engaging with residents, listening to their concerns, and discussing measures to enhance public safety.
According to Superintendent Alonzo Carty, Divisional Commander for Nevis, residents were candid about their concerns, particularly regarding poor street lighting and disturbances caused by loud music from certain premises. “The reception from residents was amazing. They interacted well and openly shared their concerns,” Superintendent Carty stated.
