The Royal Turks & Caicos Islands Police Force (RTCIPF) will be having Town Hall meetings at various locations throughout the Turks & Caicos Islands (TCI). The purpose of these meetings is to develop a new three-year strategic policing plan. The RTCIPF Police Force Strategic Plan 2009 – 2014 and previous annual policing plans traditionally covered the calendar year, which did not coincide with the financial budget year.

This new policing plan will be based on the police budget because it is recognised that the budget is needed to implement the policing plan after consultation with community needs and expectations. Commissioner Colin Farquhar and his staff look forward to discussing your concerns and opinions relating to crime and policing in the various communities.
