Newly appointed Assistant Commissioner of Police responsible for crime, Brenton Smith, is calling for greater accountability among police officers involved in criminal investigations.

Speaking at a recent police news conference, ACP Smith said a holistic approach involving all departments of the royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines police force is necessary to effectively investigate and solve crimes.

ACP Smith said the RSVGPF must also make greater use of intelligence and advanced equipment to strengthen its crime-fighting efforts.

ACP Smith also said the force’s limited human resources must be strategically utilised and properly managed. He indicated that this will be a key area of focus under his leadership.

ACP Smith is expected to meet with senior police officials and other officers today as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen the force’s approach to crime investigations.
