NIA CHARLESTOWN NEVIS – Members of the High Command of the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF) joined officers of Division ‘C’ in Charlestown, Nevis, for a community walkthrough on February 26, 2025.
The walkthrough covered the areas of Stoney Grove, Ramsbury, and Craddock Road, where officers engaged with residents, listened to their concerns, and discussed measures to enhance public safety.
Superintendent Alonzo Carty, Divisional Commander for Nevis, highlighted that 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.
The High Command contingent included Commissioner of Police James Sutton and Assistant Commissioners Dr. McCarta Browne, Andre Mitchell, and Travis Rogers, and administrative personnel.
A statement from the RSCNPF reaffirmed their commitment to community policing, “We will continue to prioritize community policing as we work together to build safer and stronger neighborhoods. Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their thoughts with us.”
