“Crime cannot be solved with quick fixes or by throwing money at the problem. You cannot pay for peace—you must build it”

That’s the word from Prime Minister and National Security, Dr. Terrance Drew, and the Federal Government is taking decisive action to maintain and expand the progress made under the 90-Day Crime Campaign with its ‘Beyond the 90 Days’  crime prevention initiative.

It reflects the government’s commitment to ensuring that citizen security remains a top priority. The efforts being undertaken are not just about law enforcement but about fostering an environment where all residents of St. Kitts and Nevis feel safe, supported, and empowered.

This strategy, according to the Federal government builds upon the collaborative approach that has already led to a significant drop in crime, “is designed to create lasting solutions to social instability and violence while reinforcing national unity and citizen security.” PM Drew emphasized that crime prevention cannot be addressed with short-term fixes or financial incentives alone.

He stressed that the only way to ensure a safer and more secure St. Kitts and Nevis is through a holistic and sustainable approach that tackles the root causes of criminal behavior.
