Minister Hermangild Francis
PRESS RELEASE – The Customs and Immigration departments along with the Marine Unit will soon form a new entity, the Border Control Unit.
The Border Control Unit will significantly augment the operations of Saint Lucia’s airports and seaports, Minister for Home Affairs, Justice and National Security, Sen. Hon. Hermangild Francis said.
All officers assigned to the unit will receive training.
“Two senior officers—one, a former comptroller of Customs and the other, a senior immigrations officer—are tasked with making the recommendations,” Sen. Francis said. “As a tourist destination, we must make the transitions from the airplane or ship to the waiting bus a much quicker process.”
The Border Control Unit is expected to be launched in the 2017.
