The Royal Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force (RSVGPF), on Friday, announced its 2025 Annual Summer Programs, a series of structured, community-oriented initiatives it says are designed to positively engage young people during the July–August vacation period.
The programmes include the Police Band Summer Programme, Police Youth Club (PYC) Summer Camp, the SVG Coast Guard Summer Programme, and the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Unit (ATIPU) Summer Awareness-Raising Programme.
The RSVGPF said the Police Band Summer Programme which runs from July 15 to August 14, 2025, at the Police Band Room. The opening ceremony will take place at the Peace Memorial Hall under the theme: “Harnessing Young Minds during Summer Time”.
Registration forms will be available at the Band Room from Monday, June 23, 2025. A fee of $25.00 per form applies.
This program offers youth an introduction to music education under the guidance of experienced members of the Police Band. It encourages artistic development while promoting personal discipline and confidence through musical instruction and performance.
The police Youth Club (PYC) Summer Camp runs from July 20 to August 4, 2025. The opening ceremony will take place on July 21, 2025 at the Georgetown Secondary School. The theme for the programme is “Building Communities Through Youth Development One Program at a Time”.
The PYC Summer Camp will bring together club members from across the country for two weeks of leadership training, interactive workshops, team-building activities, and values-based education. The initiative is geared toward nurturing responsible, community-minded citizens.
The SVG Coast Guard Summer Programme runs from July 14 to August 23, 2025. The program is divided into three phases, namely Phase One from July 14 – July 22, Phase Two from July 28 – August 6, and Phase Three from August 11 – August 19.
A Sports and Fun Day will be held on August 21, followed by a Graduation Ceremony on August 23, 2025.
Each phase will accommodate fifty participants, targeting youth between the ages of 14 and 18. The program will focus on developing life skills, teamwork, and personal discipline through structured activities coordinated by the SVG Coast Guard. Registration forms will be available from June 30, 2025.
The fourth programme is the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Unit (ATIPU) Summer Awareness-Raising Programme which runs from July 14 to August 13, 2025.
The ATIPU will be conducting outreach presentations during the summer period. Organizations, camps, Vacation Bible Schools (VBS), church groups, and community programs are encouraged to invite the unit to deliver awareness sessions on Human Trafficking, Child Trafficking, and Child Labour. The goal is to educate vulnerable groups and empower communities to identify and report trafficking-related concerns.
Police say the programmes remain a cornerstone of the RSVGPF’s public outreach, fostering discipline, teamwork, and civic responsibility among participants police said.
The RSVGPF said it encourages all eligible youth and community stakeholders to take part in these programs. They remain instrumental in building strong foundations for leadership, public service, and national development.
