Two new sea patrol boats to be commissioned next month and funding for initiatives to fight illicit drug trafficking are being made available to Dominica by the United States under the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative.
The help is being offered through an agreement signed in Roseau on Monday.
It provides US$673,000 to Dominica, with US$134,000 intended to help deepen the professional skills of the island’s law enforcement, according to a Government Information Service (GIS) release.
“Key aspects of this new project will include the purchase of equipment, training and the mentoring of Dominica personnel by United States Government experts”, according to the release.
