The conference room at the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) was the venue for Wednesday morning’s meeting between Prime Minister Dr. Hon. Timothy Harris and members of the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force.
Prime Minister Harris delivered an address to the officers in his capacity as Minister of National Security and formally introduced the new Police Commissioner, Ian Queeley.
He congratulated the new Commissioner and expressed faith in his leadership skills, stating “He has good qualifications, he has attended some of the best schools, Bramshill, the FBI and so on and he has done well. We have given him this opportunity which I frankly believe he deserves. He deserves to lead the force to a new level.”
Prime Minister Harris then urged all citizens and residents of St. Kitts and Nevis to lend support to the newly appointed High Command.
Meanwhile Prime Minister and Minister of National Security, Dr. the Honourable Timothy Harris, has pledged that the Government and the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF) will do all in its power to curb the crime situation in the Federation.
The Prime Minister made these comments while addressing the nation on the new leadership in the RSCNPF on Tuesday, February 09.
Prime Minister Harris stated that the justice system and the “associated consequences for those individuals will be swift and uncompromising and should act as a deterrent for others with similar intentions.”
