The Caribbean Federation of Police Welfare Associations (CFPWA) began its 11th annual general meeting in Saint Lucia Wednesday, focussing on the safety and welfare of police officers amid a violent crime surge in the region.
The President of Saint Lucia’s Police Welfare Association, Camron Laure, observed that crime directly impacts the welfare and safety of officers.
“We are going to be speaking on crime as it relates to the welfare of police officers when we go out there,” Laure explained.
He noted that policing is a dangerous job.
