2011 — Crime reporting process in St. Maarten.

The report focuses on the effectiveness and efficiency of the police reporting process in St. Maarten, highlighting significant deficiencies and areas for improvement. It emphasizes the importance of this process, as it shapes the public's perception of law enforcement and influences their trust in law enforcement. The report concludes that the reporting process at the Sint Maarten Police Force is inadequately structured, with unclear task divisions, insufficient capacity, and inadequate training, all of which undermine the quality and effectiveness of the service provided to the public. Several recommendations are made to improve the process, focusing on better organization, clear communication, improved facilities, and enhanced training.
