The Dominica Police Force (DPF) hit the streets to put “Community first” under its Community Engagement Program, spearheaded by the Community Policing Unit. Carrying out foot patrols in the Pottersville and Bay Town neighborhoods on Friday, January 2, 2026, officers took the opportunity to connect with local residents and business owners through engaging conversations, shared a CDPF statement on Facebook.
The report highlighted that these interactions were positively received, characterized by “laughter and positive moments as residents offered humorous jokes and warm interactions.”
Additionally, the statement emphasized that community members voiced their gratitude for the police presence, especially amidst concerns over the recent spike in violence, notably gun-related offenses.
Residents also expressed their desire for these patrols to become more frequent, encouraging law enforcement to maintain a consistent presence in the area.
The Dominica Police Force added that it remains dedicated to building stronger bonds with the community to foster safer and more secure neighborhoods for everyone.
