A contingent of police officers departed Antigua around 9 a.m. on Tuesday, heading to Grenada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
They traveled aboard two separate coast guard vessels from Barbados and St. Vincent to provide assistance to both countries, which suffered severe damage from Hurricane Beryl.

The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Atlee Rodney, along with other senior officers, was present to see the officers off and wished them well.
