Strengthening Safety: President Herminie Meets Police Leadership at Headquarter

The Ministry of Homeland Security and Civil Affairs Mr. James Camille  welcomed President Dr. Patrick Herminie and Vice President Mr. Sebastien Pillay for an official visit to the Seychelles Police Headquarters. The visit reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to bolstering national security and supporting front-line officers across the country.

Upon arrival, the delegation was received by Commissioner of Police Mr. Ted Barbe, who delivered a comprehensive briefing on current crime trends, operational challenges, and ongoing reforms. The discussions highlighted progress on the review of the Police Strategic Plan, aimed at modernising policing practices and strengthening community safety.

A key moment of the visit was the handover of 40 body-worn cameras donated by the Seychelles Petroleum Company (SEYPEC). This contribution reflects a growing partnership in support of law enforcement and will significantly enhance transparency, accountability, and operational effectiveness within the Force.

The visit underscored the government’s continued commitment to equipping the Seychelles Police Force with the tools, resources, and strategic direction necessary to ensure a safer and more resilient nation.
