St. MaartenOctober 2015Report
Filed under: Investigation & Prosecution
This report inspects the approach to combating robberies in St. Maarten, highlighting both strengths and weaknesses. The Special Unit Robberies (SUR) faces challenges, including inadequate resources, limited capacity, and insufficient training. Although all robberies are prioritized for investigation due to their high impact, the current approach is largely reactive and incident-based. Recommendations include enhancing resources, improving team capacity, and fostering better coordination among law enforcement agencies, but the report also stresses the need for better preventive measures and victim support.
