The members of the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadine Police Force (RSVGPF) and its Auxiliary Force are mourning the death of the late, Henry Providence, Inspector of Police, who died at the hospital on September 13, 2023.

Throughout his career, he worked at the Barrouallie Police Station, Criminal Investigation Department, Traffic Branch, Questelles Police Station, and Georgetown Police Station. He was a very versatile Police Officer and displayed professionalism when carrying out his duties.
