Plaskett released the following statement announcing a $3.9 million grant to the Virgin Islands Police Department (VIPD) for the purchase of marine enforcement vessels: “I am tremendously pleased to announce that the VIPD has received a grant from the Department of Justice in the amount of $3,984,000 to purchase three marine enforcement vessels. The vessels will assist with the interdiction of drug-trafficking related criminal activity through the Virgin Islands as well as safety patrols through local waters, which have seen a significant uptick in recreational vessel traffic in recent years. “This grant is one of numerous Fiscal Year 2023 Community Project Funding requests that I and my team successfully included in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023. Marine-capable law enforcement is imperative to ensure the safety and protection of life and property of inhabitants and visitors of the United States Virgin Islands. I am proud of the work being done and look forward to VIPD’s continued marine patrols and improved intelligence gathering.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:37:48Z |
