2012 — The investigation process of the detectives department in St. Maarten.

The report focuses on the effectiveness of the investigative process within the Sint Maarten Police Force (KPSM). It highlights positive developments, including the introduction of community policing and improvements in forensic investigations. However, the progress is hindered by dependency on the Ministry of Justice for crucial decisions. The report also emphasizes the need for improved cross-border crime cooperation, attention to youth crime, and a structured approach to serious and organized crimes. Legislative and administrative support is critical to furthering these advancements.
