The Traffic Department of the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force (RSVGPF) received a donation of sunglasses from the Optical Division of the OSV Group during a handover ceremony held on Thursday, July 2, 2026.

The donation was presented by manager of the Optical Division, Stephen Sutherland, in recognition of the dedicated work performed by traffic officers across St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the RSVGPF said in a release.
