SECURITY FORCES PRAISED FOR THEIR EFFECTIVENESS DURING CARNIVAL SEASON

Basseterre, St. Kitts, October 17, 2018 (SKNIS): Law enforcement officers in St. Kitts and Nevis came in for high praise for their efforts at policing Carnival activities and maintaining safety and security.

This was echoed by Noah Mills, Chairman of St. Kitts and Nevis National Carnival Committee (SKNNCC), during his appearance on “Working for You” on Wednesday, October 17, where he commended members of the security forces for their efficiency during the past Carnival seasons.

“I think that the police and the army and the other security forces have done a tremendous job over the years, especially the last three years where we have been there in controlling some of the bands as it relates to accident, crime and violence, and personal attacks during the various events on the streets or in the neighbourhood and I commend them using this medium,” he said, adding that they were able to carry out their duties with diligence and efficiency and encouraged them to keep up the good work.
