The Attorney General and Minister responsible for Public Safety confirmed that a request has come from the President of Dominica to the Regional Security System (RSS) for a contingent of security personnel to be dispatched to the Commonwealth of Dominica, to help to keep the peace.<\/p>

The Government of Antigua and Barbuda, like other OECS Governments that are RSS Treaty Members, has honoured the request and dispatched 18 personnel\u201410 policemen and 8 soldiers.<\/p>\n

The Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda again called for adherence to law in Dominica as the December 6 date for general elections draws closer.<\/p>

Barbadian troops and police officers under the command of the Regional Security System (RSS) were also\u00a0 deployed to Dominica to help maintain law and order, as unrest builds in the run-up to Friday\u2019s general election.<\/p>
