Office of the Commissioner of Police
Grenada needs to be diligent in ensuring the safety of it’s people. This scourge called drugs has brought enough grief and heart ache to the Caribbean. Glad to know there is someone who will be held accountable for his actions,, however I also belive that he is but a small fish in the big ocean. Police may wish to also focus on foreigners who supply these little fish with the drugs an weapons. Don’t be fooled, all the investments coming Grenada’s way may not all be on the up and up. Be diligent Grenada, your people’s future depends on it.
