Two modern police stations at La Plaine and Calibishie are among priorities for the Dominica Government, according to an official statement.
The government says the two will be constructed at an estimated cost of EC$6.3 million.
It says that the proposed new facilities are in addition to the now almost completed Grandbay Police Station, with efforts being made to have fully equipped police stations in several communities.
The Salybia, Mahaut and Marigot Police Stations have also reportedly been refurbished, with works to commence on the Roseau Police Station shortly.
thats good now skerrit see to stop renting ppl house and making it into police station spend the money i no its there la plane needs that
All this move is a good move,but we need a bigger prison,and more proper hospital.skeritt u are vertigo too fat .u need to do some exercise,or else u will get a heart attack.u make like u are doing some exercise with that shovel.u are faking.put ur garden boots then we can see u are serious.I,m a labourite,but I’m not voting for labour no more .too corrupt
Good news for Calibishie area residents.
This is, of course good news. However, I wonder if, with our improved roads and superior communications we need that many separate police stations in Dominica today. We have a total of 18 stations, not counting police headquarter in Roseau or the unit at Morne Bruce, to serve a population of 70,000. I know we have our topographical difficulties but on a comparison basis that equates to 644 police stations for Brooklyn alone!Do the maths if you think this is absurd (Brooklyn has a population of just over 2.5 million). What we need is better efficiency, fewer people sitting at desks an more officers on the beat.
Why is Colihaut not on list for new Police Station?
Instead of building one You have contracted rent of over $5000. Monthly
Colihaut ni Maler
Colihaut had a proper police station with court room and a building to house the Sergeant i/c, now with the work being done by West Indies Aggregates, the Officers had to leave the premises,because of the frequent dust in the area. Now Government should demand the company to build a police station some place in Colihaut
police station!!!what a joke…the station makes no sense without good human resource…and if the police we have here is who you plan on putting in there; then…lol
@Anthony P. Ismael,
The airport can support the aircraft all the CRJ700 needs is 5,131ft of runway. TDPD currently have 5,761ft. Moreover, the airport currently lands a B727, which requires more runway length than a CRJ700 the feet I quoted you is at maximum weight. People dod research before you open your mouth
What has this got to do with the construction of police stations??
What has air port has to do with police station?
Build these Police stations in the areas where crimes occur in order to have a larger Police presence. La Plaine is a peaceful place; we don’t need this facility here. It seems like a political move to secure the electorates here in La Plaine.
Such an idiotic comment! This must be one of the people who commented in La Plaine not having a police station. And being from La Plaine, how peaceful is it?
Hopefully, a bigger prison is next to separate juvenile, petty crime and major offenders. Also, to house the criminals that are walking the streets.
Pond Case Central also in need of a Police Station. That area is now developing with new homes and tourist site.
I remember that same area used to have a Police Station.
more space for the to sit and play dominoes in. better technology for them to browse the internet and update their facebook.
Waaaahhhh hotels that man?! What sort of high tech equipments will be in there??
An automatic crime detector will be installed in each of them. As soon as you walk by the crime detector, it will beep if you are a crook. So stay away from those new police stations.
Can’t recall the last time I read the following words: Two Modern New Police Stations being constructed in Dominica. Nice work!!
BUILD an airport with allu modern day police station. BUILD AN AIRPORT so that people can stop suffering trying to go home.
If you build it will they come. Martinique and Guadeloupe both have and they still won’t come. The Eagle is the only America carrier to go to them so, what make you think they will come to Dominica.
St. Lucia been paying them to come that has been costing the government a lot of money. They have been paying for empty seats when plane is filled to capacity.
Now, they realized that they are going broke.
It is nice to have those things, but feasibility studies need to be done. I would like to have one, but I am afraid it might become a drain to tax payers
The main issue is not an international airport, although it would be nice to have one. The issue is: An airport that conforms to international standards, including night-landing.
We know that a US registered aircraft will never land at Melville Hall at night, because of its location and FAA Regulations.
That being said, a totally new airport is required. If we can accommodate medium range jets such as the Bombardier CRJ-700, we would be ok.
As it stands, we are going nowhere fast with Melville Hall as it is presently constructed.
@>???? it dosent matter. what is it to you anyways?
Are you Dominican. You are such an idiot, you do not even know it matters to you. Go to School.
Good stuff!!
Let’s hope that upon completion that they are managed properly.
Keep up the good work Mr. PM. A good working environment brings out good work results.
I second that, good work PM.
lets hope they have good parking lots tooo…..please dont foget……the land should be big enough for proper parking lots
It’s a police station, not a play ground. I am more concerned i’s staff with capable law enforcement and the necessary tools and equipment to combat rising crime and violence…what about that.
But I understand your humour in the parking lot..most people will not even get the joke…lol
come on man..isn’t your concerns obvious…thats why i didn’t even waste my time to comment on it….is not guns making machines nuh they getting?…
Great initiative! Calibishie seriously needs a new station. That will help restore confidence in the men and women who serve.
thats nice, but we really need a state of the Art Hospital. i want people to start coming to Dominica instead of we going to other countries. i am praying for that day when we wil stay in our country for all our medicals.
I agree with you, but you cannot eat an elephant in one bite, you have to eat it one bite at a time. Hope that makes sense to you.
So what about Colihaut police station
it is about time the Colihaut and Colibistri police stations are amalgamated into one, efficient unit. They are less than 2.5 miles apart, along the same stretch of road. To still have two separate units so close to one another is an anachronism and an unnecessary expense, especially with the new road in place.
I would also say this for Pte. Michel and Soufriere and equip them with 2 vehicles
Is it another loan from China or Venezuela? I am just asking!
No the government used only your monthly tax premiums. Great contribution that you made.
