With the approach of the annual J’ouvert Jump Up, the police force of Sint Maarten wants to remind everyone of the importance of safety and responsible behaviour during this event.
The police recognize that this is a time of celebration and fun. However, everyone must adhere to officers’ warnings and guidelines to ensure the safe running of this event.
Meanwhile, the police remind everyone through his official Facebook account that the “pay or stay” policy is still in effect throughout this carnival period. This implies that anyone arrested for breaking the law can pay a fine or go to jail. Therefore, the department politely urged everyone to follow the rules and behave accordingly.
The Police Department of Sint Maarten also requests everyone to cooperate with the police and other law enforcement officers who will be present during the event. It’s their job to ensure that everyone is safe and that the event runs smoothly. Police are requesting that all revellers in the Jump-up follow instructions and not hesitate to report any suspicious activity or behaviour.
They encourage everyone to have a good time but in a responsible manner. The Police Force of Sint Maarten cordially requests that the public refrain from wearing sky masks at the next J’ouvert jump-up and other similar activities to guarantee the safety of all participants.
Even though wearing these masks has become widespread, it has been noted that doing so can provide safety issues, including making it harder to identify people and possibly encouraging criminal activities.
The police will take the necessary steps to ensure everyone’s safety to stop these problems from happening. They strongly encourage everyone to cooperate with these efforts and abstain from wearing sky masks.
By taking all necessary precautions, the Police Department of Sint Maarten aims to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience.
