“We visited this site in November of 2025, and we said that we would deliver to the people of Gros Islet and the people of Saint Lucia the most modern police headquarters in the region. We persevered, and this morning we have delivered to the people of Gros Islet a 35 million dollar project built by Saint Lucians, for Saint Lucia and for the members of the police force.”

The Gros Islet Police Divisional Headquarters will house the Criminal Investigations, Special Services, Crime Scene Investigating, and Traffic Units, as well as an armory, a detention area, a tennis court, gym, and police barracks.
