2015 — Investigation into the approach to combating armed robberies on Bonaire.

Caribbean NetherlandsMay 2016Report
This report by the Law Enforcement Council examines the strategies and effectiveness of combating armed robberies, known locally as "atrako's," on Bonaire. The report highlights the challenges faced by the Caribbean Netherlands Police Force (KPCN) and the Public Prosecutor's Office (OM BES) in addressing these crimes, including capacity issues and the need for specialized support. Despite these challenges, the report notes a significant reduction in the number of atrako's from 2013 to 2015, attributing this success to both preventive and repressive measures. Recommendations focus on improving information management, enhancing inter-agency cooperation, and ensuring sustained focus on violent crime.
