Association of Caribbean Commissioners of Police: Opening Remarks 36th Annual General Meeting and Conference
Along with a changing world, comes the increasing threat and vulnerability of crime to our country’s safety and economic security. Crime, in all of its manifestations, is a global and complex issue that profits criminals billions of dollars each year while leaving many reeling to recover.
