Strengthening security practices in Montserrat is the primary aim of a visiting team from the Mines Advisory Group (MAG).
Governor, Her Excellency Harriet Cross, welcomed the team to the island on Tuesday March 10, 2026.
The MAG crew is on island working with CARICOM IMPACS to support the safe management of armouries and the responsible disposal of old or unserviceable weapons across the region.
This work helps ensure Montserrat’s systems continue to meet the highest international safety standards.
Governor Cross expressed her appreciation for the team’s visit and their commitment to strengthening security practices both on Montserrat and across the wider region.
As part of their visit, they also met with the Commissioner of Police and armoury experts at the Royal Montserrat Police Service (RMPS).
CARICOM IMPACS (Implementation Agency for Crime and Security) is the specialized institution responsible for managing the Caribbean’s regional security agenda.
It works to protect the region by coordinating actions against transnational organized crime, enhancing cybersecurity, and securing maritime, environmental, and natural resources to foster a safer, sustainable Caribbean community.
Established in 2006, IMPACS is central to the security pillar of the Caribbean Community.
