2020 — State of Law Enforcement in St. Maarten

The 2020 report by the Law Enforcement Council marks 10 years of law enforcement in St. Maarten. It highlights ongoing challenges such as the slow pace of recovery from natural disasters, the lack of financial resources, and the need for improved governance and inter-agency cooperation. Despite some positive developments in areas like youth rehabilitation and digitalization, the report stresses the urgent need for structural reforms, especially in prison conditions, victim support, and the overall justice system to ensure effective law enforcement and public safety.
