Rayburn Blackmoore addressing press conference on Friday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Minister for National Security Rayburn Blackmoore has announced that plans are in place to redirect police officers serving in the districts of Coulibistrie and Morne Rachette to the Salisbury Police District.<\/p>\n

He made the announcement during a press briefing held on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to continue to look at how we do some redistricting, police redistricting, and that falls within the level of competence of whoever the minister is,\u201d he said. \u201c And I think the time has come \u00a0for us to rationalize our approach and not rationalize the service, but the approach to allow for better deployment and better efficiency.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blackmoore mentioned that in the past, recommendations were made to collapse some police stations\/districts into other police districts, \u201cAnd we’re currently looking at the community of Coulibistrie and Morne Rachette to be collapsed [into] the police district of Salisbury.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Blackmoore, this means that officers will be transferred to the village of Salisbury, which is a very busy community.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that is not being done without meeting with the people and consulting with the people,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

He noted that the member of Parliament for the Salisbury constituency supports the move.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Acting Police Chief Lincoln Corbette explained that with the collapsing of the two areas, a total of six officers will be available to serve members of the public.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that the upgrade is necessary to increase the staff and will consist of, \u201cone sergeant, two corporals, and three constables.\u201d<\/p>\n

Corbette also shared that there will be a significant upgrade of police vehicles.<\/p>\n

\u201cSalisbury will have a dedicated vehicle to serve the area of Salisbury, Coulibistrie, and Morne Rachette,\u201d he revealed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Minister for National Security Rayburn Blackmoore has announced that plans are in place to redirect police officers serving in the districts of Coulibistrie and Morne Rachette to the Salisbury Police District.
