2024 — State of Law Enforcement in St. Maarten

In addition to cooperation, the 2024 State focuses on local circumstances, including juvenile delinquency, (cross-border) issues and their consequences for law enforcement, the entire justice chain and society as a whole. In this State, the Council again emphasises that a repressive approach alone is insufficient. A well-functioning integrated (cross-ministry and/or country-transcending) chain approach is necessary. The Council points out that the time has come for a long-term vision that is future-proof and supported by effective joint action(s).
