Our History
The
earliest record of the existence of any police service in Grenada
dates back to the year 1853, when Policing was a part-time
occupation and the magistrate's of the major towns were given charge
of the police for that district.
With the enactment of the Police Regulations Section
66, Chapter 244 of Volume IX of 1960 revised Laws of Grenada, the
officer appointed to the office of the Chief of Police
was changed to Commissioner
of Police and a new rank structure was created.
