Leader of the LPM, Therold Prudent, has recommended a full and independent investigation of the entire Royal Saint Lucia Police Force and the enactment of any necessary laws to deal with incompetence, corruption and abuse of power in the Force. He says his party believes that a successful crime fighting strategy must first begin with a disciplined, committed and corruption-free police force. However, he says the LPM also recognizes the need for police officers to be equipped with adequate resources to deal with crime on the island. He says training to improve investigation skills is also a must.
