Temporary new home for Barrouallie Police Station

The Barrouallie Police Station is being temporarily relocated to the Barrouallie Community Centre, a move the Royal St Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force (RSVGPF), said is part of its mission of improving service delivery and strengthening public safety across the nation. A release on the matter said the temporary relocation “follows extensive engagement with community stakeholders in Barrouallie, where residents expressed the need for enhanced police presence and greater accessibility to services within the town”.

The police said they have listened to the people’s concerns and are acting decisively to ensure that the officers serving the district are stationed in an environment that supports both operational efficiency and community interaction.

“The Barrouallie Community Centre provides a secure and spacious facility capable of accommodating police personnel and the resources necessary to maintain law and order effectively,” and the RSVGPF said they anticipate “this move will strengthen the bond between the police and the people of Barrouallie, fostering an environment of cooperation that is essential to crime prevention and national security”.

The police also said they are actively advancing plans for the construction of a new, permanent police station in Barrouallie, and preparatory work is already underway to ensure that this project moves forward efficiently and sustainably.

Rehabilitative work is also to be done on the Layou Police Station, “which remains a vital component of the policing framework on the leeward side of the island”. These initiatives, the police said it the release, forms “ part of the broader organizational commitment to modernize facilities, support the welfare of officers, and strengthen the delivery of security services across Saint Vincent and the Grenadines”.

The RSVGPF has extended appreciation to the residents of Barrouallie and surrounding communities for their continued cooperation and partnership. “Together, we are building safer communities and a more secure Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.”
