In 2023, the police force played a significant role in bolstering the state’s revenue collection, as reported by Commissioner of Police Atlee Rodney. The contribution amounted to over $1 million EC.
Commissioner Rodney provided a detailed breakdown of the figures, revealing that $36,325 was generated from police records, while fingerprint services contributed $92,700. Notably, the Criminal Records Office alone contributed a total of $455,725.
Concurrently, the traffic department played a substantial role by contributing $954,575. This sum was generated through earnings from tickets, permits for heavy-duty equipment, and other related services.
It is worth noting that the police force took proactive measures early last year by launching a crackdown on unpaid parking tickets. This initiative aimed to address the outstanding sum of approximately $600,000 in unpaid traffic tickets. Consequently, the government had to implement various measures to recover these funds.
