Police say they maintain presence in CGB even when station is empty
The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) has addressed public concerns regarding the police presence in Cane Garden Bay (CGB), where a police station operates on limited hours and staffing.
Following discussions on a popular radio show, the RVIPF clarified that two officers are stationed at the CGB police station during weekday shifts, while weekend coverage is provided by officers from the West End Police Station.
Although the CGB station may not always be physically manned, the RVIPF emphasises that officers are actively engaged in the community through regular patrols.
“While there are times when the station itself may not be physically manned, officers remain actively deployed to ensure a visible and accessible presence. They regularly engage with residents and visitors through community patrols to maintain safety and security within Cane Garden Bay, even when not stationed inside the building,” the RVIPF explained.
In their statement, the RVIPF reassured the public of their commitment to public safety and effective incident response across the territory.
They encourage community members to reach out directly to officers via the CGB Station’s mobile contact number, 368 9740, or to call 311 for immediate assistance.
