More Police Stations to Be Built in 2025

The Commissioner announced that the department plans to build more police stations in key areas this year to help curb crime. For locations where new stations aren’t feasible, existing ones will be upgraded to enhance the working conditions and environment for officers.

 

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police

“If you listen to if you have read my New Year’s message, I did allude to the fact that in 2025, we will see the continued rollout of the of the CABEI project. And, with that will come the construction of a number of new police stations as well as the renovation of some existing police stations across the country. So, these are things that are going to help not just. to provide a greater quality of service to the community, but also to help to boost the welfare and morale of our officers. The pictures from the academy, I believe those are old pictures because we have since renovated that dorm before recruits went in. So again, those are old pictures. We have renovated that, but I want to say to police officers that we can get everything we want one week. We take things in stride and, I can assure them that with time, the working environment is going to improve. We have seen That we have made great improvements in some years of the country. But you know, money is not there as we may want it to be. It’s a scarcity at times. And when we do get, we have to pinch a little for here, a little for there, so we can provide as best as we can to all police officers across the country. So those areas where we’re seeing buildings dilapidated. We’re coming to them, we’ll ensure that in 2025, we do better in terms of renovating them and make these offices or buildings more, a better working environment for police officers.”
