The main point in the letter of intent is the importance of sharing information.
It doesn’t matter if it’s forensic expertise, digital threats, or border crime: by sharing data, signals, and analytics, we increase our joint capacity to act. The main goal is that by working together, we can contribute to a safer Caribbean region.
The Police Commissioner of Aruba, Mr. Ramon Arnhem, was not present in Barbados because the Aruba Police Force celebrated its 39th anniversary. For this reason, High Commissioner Arnhem, after speaking with Minister of Justice drs. Mr. Dowers agreed to sign the letter of intent.
The College of Police Commissioners works together with a goal: "Strengthen the cooperation of police work in the Caribbean area." Together, they work to increase resistance against destructive crime. To reinforce this strategy, all the high commissioners of the College van Korpschefs signed the "letter of intent" together with CARICOM IMPACTS.
The College van Korpschefs will continue to strengthen operational capacity and to improve the conditions necessary for good police care in the region.
