 Greetings to all Saint Lucians. I wish everyone a merry and safe Christmas and a happy 2022. I would like to remind us that acts of criminality continue to plague our peaceful and beautiful island. We must all play our part to contribute to our own security. Always have full awareness of your environment and always be in total control of your actions. Do not allow emotions such as anger and substances such as alcohol and narcotic drugs to diminish your level of control. Serious and organized crime continue to pose a formidable threat and COVID-19 is no less. The number of deaths in both cases make a convincing argument. Our way of life, even our survival, is being adversely affected. Existing with COVID-19 does not mean that we should take risk, which may result in us becoming ill or dead. Wear your mask, keep safe distances and numbers and sanitize frequently. Event organizers and business and home owners, you are called to a higher standard in ensuring that the law is at head two at your events and on your premises. Always do the right thing. Therefore, individuals, families and friends, let us continue to abide to all the laws whilst we spread feelings of joy and happiness. The Special Services Unit wishes you a safe holiday season. Fellow Senutians, as we usher in 2022 and say goodbye to 2021, we at the Royal Senutia Police Force wish to say compliments of the season. It is Robert Peel who said that the police are the public and the public are the police. At this point in time, we wish to thank you so much for your support and in 2022, we want you to be there with us even more and we want to tell you that we love you. Just a few tips for you. You can help to prevent it by one, lock it, two, light it, three, hide it, four, remove it, five, close it and six, report it. Don't leave your doors unlocked. Ensure that your lights are turned on. If you have any valuables, please hide it. If you have your vehicles parked in areas that it should not be, please remove it. Do not leave your garage or open and if you have a crime or you see a crime, please report it. Thank you so much for your support and remember we are here to save you. We are in the festive season and our wood network is very very busy. We encourage all road users to take care on our wood network. We do not want another fatality because it could be your loved one or your work colleague. We road safety is our responsibility. We all are an important part to play. Be mindful of the five fatal signs. Speeding, intoxication, drivers fatigue and destruction. As we go commuting on our road network, let us eliminate destruction. Always wear your seat belt. Do not drink and drive. Cross the road like your life depends on it. Drive at safe speed levels. We must work together to make a safer environment for all road users. We can do it. Thanks for playing your part with the traffic department. Wish all a Merry Christmas and a productive 2022. Music plays a pivotal role in balancing your spiritual, your mental and your physical health. The music and the beat that you dance to let it determine a positive outcome in conflict resolution. As we usher in this festive season, let your music resonate and let it be one of peace, love and harmony. From all of us at the Royal St. Lucia Police Band, we salute you and we say let your music play on. Season's greetings. The Marine Unit would like to wish everyone a safe season. To those who choose to use the seas over the season, we encourage you to observe the small craft and swim advisory from the Met office before venturing out at sea. Also to those who choose to use the sea for illegal purposes, we want you to know that we will be out there during the season full force. Let us all play a part in keeping St. Lucia safe. We at the Marine Unit would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Fellow citizens, once again, we are in the festive season. It is also a time to be even more aware of your surroundings. The police are from the community working with the community for the betterment of all within the community. Ensure at all times that your home is safe and secure. When on the road, be aware and mindful of who is around you at all times. Do not display valuables in your car or leave your car unattended for long periods. Always ensure the safety and security of your children and those who are in your care. Guard against the risk of fire hazards in and around your home. Don't just look, observe. Don't be a target to criminals. Be aware, stay safe. La bonne nouvelle toute ma mai, cette lycée. As we enter the festive season, I wish to take some time to thank all personnel of the Rails and Lucia Police Force for their commitment through the year. 2021 has definitely been a year of unique challenges. From a pandemic to increases in crime, you have demonstrated incomparable dedication to duty. To the public, without you our efforts would be futile and as such, I wish to express my sincere gratitude and implore continued support of our initiatives. With the ushering of the season, it is prudent that I highlight the need for better mannerisms of conflict resolution. This year's incomparable homicide rate should serve as an eye opener to all that not only our responses to situations should be reassessed, but our social interventions and support systems require significant augmenting. To those tempted by acts of criminality, I ask that you seek out the existing aid programs to develop skill sets to be more productive citizens. Each committed crime places our country further from our developmental goals. We each have our path to play, none can succeed without the order's engagement. To those committed to a lifestyle of criminality, I say your journey will end. I remain assured that as an organization and as a people, we are resolute. Crime can and will be controlled. In the interim, let us safeguard ourselves, adhere to the precautionary measures, build stronger community ties that foster an environment of neighborhood security and become each order's keeper. To this end, I bid you all a merry Christmas, a prosperous new year, and most of all, a safe environment to enjoy it all. Thank you.
