 The Government of St. Lucia has purchased and handed over two new vehicles to the Royal St Lucia Police Force. Minister for Home Affairs Hon. Dr. Virginia Albert-Poyatt says the need for resources within the RSLPF forms part of the Government's priority list, particularly given the importance of policing to national security. At this trying time, we know finances are very hard. However, the Government puts our security first. We put our people first and therefore the Government has decided to invest in this vehicle and we expect the St Lucia Police Force to use it diligently, wisely and to provide top-level security and service to the people of St Lucia. I applaud the Commissioner to ensure that his colleagues make maximum use of this big investment at this time and we look forward to great contribution to our national development as we move forward in tightening and strengthening our security. The constituency of Grozile with a population of over 30,000 people has been allocated one of the vehicles. Hon. Kenson Kazimis, the parliamentary representative. I want to implore the Grozile Police to keep on fighting. We do recognize some of the challenges in terms of the current venue of the Grozile Police Station and I would like them to know that we have a Prime Minister and a Cabinet of Ministers that is committed to the safety and security of all the residents of Grozile and as their parliamentary rep I will continue to fight on their behalf to ensure that they continue to get those materials that they need to continue to be successful in the fight against COVID-19 and the fight against crime. Commissioner Police Milton Daisy assured that the new resources will be put to good use as it will help improve the response time of officers to incidents. As you are aware in crime fighting, the earlier you could respond, it's the better for us. We have a better chance of solving any situation or diffuse an existing situation. As I was coming here, I had heads of department calling me whether it is going to them and so on because you'd realize that we need the resources all over but let me tell you in as much as it is too but it is a lot compared to what we had it to I could assure you that we will put it into good use and serve the public.
