Association of Caribbean Commissioners of Police

Atlanta, GA, August 3, 2017– With trauma response times in excess of 30 minutes in many Caribbean countries, this campaign seeks to provide responders with trauma medical kits and training that can extend the life expectancy of the responders, the communities, and visitors to the countries in the event of a traumatic injury. This initiative will also provide for any potential mass casualty event or natural disaster so that responders can help with basic life saving skills when medical personnel will be overwhelmed.

National Security Threats = Economic Viability Threats

A fundamental economic development challenge facing the Caribbean region is the problem of crime and security. In size, scope, growth and impact, crime has risen to become perhaps public policy issue #1 across the region’s major economies. Our public safety and national security agencies desperately need better resourcing as they grapple with the various threats including drugs, weapons, human trafficking, cyber crime and the implications of CARICOM citizen involvement with ISIS.

As these threats are common to the region, each country is highly vulnerable to fallout from the failings of other countries in this regard. And the price of failure is higher than it has ever been – our populations, economies and physical and electronic infrastructure are bigger now in aggregate than ever before. We simply have to do more to preserve our way of life and insure our safety.
