Minister of Home Affairs, Robeson Benn today formally commissioned the newly reconstructed Vreed-en-Hoop Police Station at a cost of $118,735,490.
A release today from the Ministry of Home Affairs said that the new police station boasts a comprehensive suite of modern amenities designed to enhance operational efficiency and promote community-centered policing. Key features include:
• Male, Female, and Juvenile Lockups
• Witness and ID Parade Room
• Armory and Evidence Room
• Child-Friendly Interview Area
• Dedicated Domestic Violence Interview and Waiting Area
• Enquiries Section
• Officer-in-Charge (O.C.) Office
• Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Office
• Traffic Department Office

Positioned between the Vreed-en-Hoop junction and the speedboat stelling, the station is expected to significantly improve the police presence and response time in this high-traffic area.
Prior to its reconstruction, the Vreed-en-Hoop Police Station was housed in a wooden structure, unsuitable for efficient policing, the release said.
Benn noted that the commissioning is part of a broader initiative to enhance law enforcement infrastructure across Region Three.
