A Message From the Police Commissioner

During your stay, I urge one and all to freely explore the beauty, splendor and tranquility of St. John, the charm or Paradise, with its duty-free shopping – St. Thomas-Water Island, and the place where the best of both worlds meet – St. Croix, where exclusive historical treasures, magnificent beaches and shopping can all be found on the big island.

One of the most rewarding aspects of working in law enforcement departments is that you get the opportunity to help people make better choices.
