I believe that the minister will give the green light before the end of the week\u2026,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In a press conference held earlier that same month Police Chief, Daniel Carbon said the plan was issued to the Minister of Justice, Immigration and National Security, Rayburn Blackmoore in order to create greater relations between the police and the public.<\/p>\n<p>And according to him, it will cost about $150,000 to launch the plan.<\/p>\n<p>Prime Minister Skerrit also stated that the plan is expected to go a long way in addressing concerns about police interaction with the public on the island.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the police implement this Community Policing Plan as stated in the document, I believe it will go a long way in addressing the number of concerns that we have in the communities and how the police interface with the general public,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Corbette stated that Dominica continues to be one of the safest countries in the world, and the OECS with the lowest crime rate.<\/p>\n<p>He said crimes in Dominica are relatively low, \u201cwhen compared to any other country in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Notwithstanding this, he pointed out that the country has experienced serious disturbing incidents over the years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe police force continually assesses its strategies in an effort to reduce crime and the fear of crime,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-299506\" src=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/FILE-PHOTO.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"642\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/FILE-PHOTO.jpg 642w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/FILE-PHOTO-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/FILE-PHOTO-640x427.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Acting Police Chief Lincoln Corbette has announced that the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force (CDPF) intends to hold a series of meetings throughout the island to place focus on community policing this year.
