The Citizen Security Secretariat (CSS) has continued in its objective of collaborating with the federal government in its approach to crime prevention.

On July 28^th, CSS Coordinator, Eartha Carey and Research Analyst and Public Health Consultant, Hance Richards served as guest speakers at the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force’s (RSCNPF) 3rd Annual Crime Intervention Summer Soccer Camp, held at the NCI Grounds.

Carey and Richards engaged the attending youth in sessions on citizen security, youth responsibility, and the importance of community unity in reducing violence. The camp, which began on 21st July, is one of several national interventions designed to guide at-risk youth towards positive pathways.

The CSS stated that by reaching out to vulnerable groups and addressing the socioeconomic drivers of antisocial behaviour, the secretariat is living up to its mandate to foster lasting change. 

According to a statement from the federal government, Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis, Hon. Dr. Terrance Drew commended the work of the organization in the community and said the work is essential in targeting the social imbalances throughout the nation which contributes to the issue of crime.
