The Saint Lucia Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture recently hosted its Power Breakfast, “Business & Safety Matters: Inside the Conversation with the Commissioner,” bringing together members of the private sector and leadership of the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force (RSLPF) for a meaningful and solution-focused discussion on public safety and economic resilience.

The event featured Commissioner of Police Mr. Verne Guard, who provided valuable insights into the RSLPF’s Strategic Plan for 2026–2030. Discussions focused on key priorities including crime reduction, strengthening public trust, improving operational excellence, and fostering stronger partnerships between law enforcement and the business community.

Participants engaged in open dialogue on issues impacting businesses and communities across Saint Lucia, including traffic management, shoplifting, robberies affecting commercial establishments, citizen safety, and the role of private security personnel in supporting national security efforts.

The RSLPF also highlighted the importance of public participation in crime prevention and encouraged citizens to utilize the Crime Hotline App to report suspicious activity. Attendees were informed of additional channels through which members of the public can submit feedback and recommendations to support ongoing improvements in public safety.

Businesses were further encouraged to collaborate with the police service through security training opportunities, information sharing, and other partnership initiatives aimed at creating safer workplaces and communities.

The Chamber remains committed to facilitating constructive dialogue and strengthening partnerships that contribute to a safer, stronger, and more resilient business environment for Saint Lucia. Through engagements such as this Power Breakfast, the Chamber continues to provide a platform for meaningful conversations that support national development and economic growth.
