The RSCNPF is the National Security agency chiefly responsible for maintaining the safety and security of citizens and residents on the ground.
As such, the public is strongly reminded that the possession and concealment of unlicensed firearms and ammunition carry severe penalties.
For this reason, the Police Force has adopted a “no leniency” stance regarding anyone caught with illegal weaponry on their person, on their property, or in their general possession.
Anyone found on the side of illegality will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
The RSCNPF is unwavering in its commitment to uphold justice and preserve peace in the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis.
