shoot and kill all dem bad man.. death squad is say
Do they have an acting chief of police, or(boss crook) like Dominica? Bring back the real police chief(Mr.Jon.baptiste) to get real results.
These people are corrupted especially the police selling passports and that’s no hear say it’s facts… I was born Dominica lives in toronto but now working in st.lucia and dude that lives next door who is a china man brags everyday how her paid to be a st.lucian…. crime can’t stop if corruption doesn’t ..
The Govt and the Police must be tough on crime in order to see that positive reduction. Good job St. Lucia…let the rest of the countries incluiding ours follow in your foot steps.
