2023 — Maintaining public order during extraordinary circumstances in St. Maarten.

This report evaluates the Sint Maarten Police Force's (KPSM) ability to maintain public order during extraordinary circumstances, such as disasters and crises. The findings reveal that while the legal framework is generally adequate, there are significant gaps in resources, staffing, and inter-agency coordination. The KPSM heavily relies on assistance from local and Kingdom organizations due to these resource constraints. The report emphasizes the need for updated laws, better resource allocation, and improved coordination with disaster management and other agencies to ensure effective public order maintenance during extraordinary situations.
