Police Commissioner Crusita Descartes-Pelius emphasized the need for continuous training in technological advancement as officers recently completed a Cybercrime and Cryptocurrency course.
.
Descartes-Pelius observed that crime reduction efforts must be innovative to meet modern society’s challenges.
The Embassy of the Republic of China (Taiwan) supported the Cybercrime and Cryptocurrency course, which benefitted thirty police officers.
The training initiative at the Police Academy covered the Fundamentals of Cryptocurrencies, Investigative Techniques, and Practical Applications.
The aim was to equip the officers with practical skills, enabling them to confidently investigate simple crypto-related crimes and produce comprehensive reports detailing the investigative process.
The Police Commissioner and the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force (RSLPF) expressed gratitude to His Excellency Peter Chen, Ambassador of the Embassy of the Republic of China (Taiwan), for continuing to partner in efforts to develop officers.
Commissioner Pelius underscored the significance of such alliances in ushering the RSLPF into a more modern era of policing, critical to ensuring successful crime-fighting initiatives.
Madam Commissioner, Can you stop pissing in our eyes and call it rain. These are refreshers courses are for those individuals who are professionals in cyber Security and needed some update. Our officers are not at that level. They need a fundamental course in cybersecurity and then build them from there with intermediate and then advance. Slu will always be problematic as the lies start from the top. Please setup a cybersecurity team within the police force and ensure those officers have the required skillset to do the work.
Sigh. We need police on the ground. Search those little thugs with those purses slung over their shoulders. Breaking up those blocks that popping up all over the damn place. We need real on the ground policing, not more officers sitting behind computers.
All useful sounding. But the immediate problems on the island the police need to be focused on are gangs and violence. If they don’t get those under control the tourism-dependent economy will tank. So far the island has not received a travel warning by the US State Department but that seems to be the case only because the new ambassador is asleep at the wheel.
Nice
