Minister Camille began the day at the Seychelles Police Headquarters, where he was received by senior leadership and met with several police officers and personnel , he then proceeded to meet officers from the Anti-Terrorism and Quick Response Unit, the Marine Police Unit, the Financial Crime Intelligence Unit, the Commercial Crime and Compliance Unit, the Perseverance Police Station and the Perseverance Remand Centre of the Seychelles Prison Services.

Across each stop, the Minister engaged closely with officers to gain firsthand insight into their day-to-day responsibilities, operational constraints and resource limitations. Officers openly discussed challenges related to manpower, equipment, infrastructure and the growing complexity of modern crime.

Minister Camille reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to addressing these issues, noting that frontline officers remain central to national safety and public trust. He emphasised the urgent need to modernise existing laws to ensure they remain fit for purpose in an era where threats continue to evolve.

He highlighted that updated legislation is particularly crucial in combating organised crime networks, strengthening the country’s response to financial crime and the financing of illicit activities, improving cyber security resilience, and enhancing preparedness for terrorism-related threats.

The Minister commended the dedication and professionalism of officers across all units and reiterated that their welfare, training, and operational capacity will remain top priorities of the Ministry.
