Unbelievable? But true. The southern Caribbean nation of St Vincent and the Grenadines have officially closed the first quarter of 2019 with one murder.
The death of Osborne Rogers was recorded as St Vincent and the Grenadines first homicide for the year 2019, and the only one for the first quarter of the year.
So how does SVG compare to other islands, we managed to gather data from a number of them.
Barbados (18)
Trinidad (100+)
St Lucia 10 +
St Kitts (8)
Jamaica (100+)
Dominica (4)
Antigua (1)
Police commissioner Colin John in August of 2018 Says the Force was Working On a Strategic Crime Plan.
Among them was getting the K9 unit to reestablish, upgrading the IT department, enhancing the witness protection program along with specific area patrols among others.
St Vincent and the Grenadines recorded 34 murders in 2018, 11 of which were solved.
Congratulations to the SVG Royal Police Force and the government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines for making our blessed homeland safe.
