Nesbeth touts improved UWI campus security

Security manager for The University of the West Indies (The UWI) Mona, retired Assistant Commissioner of Police Marlon Nesbeth, is reporting “a period of long safe days” at the campus which, he says, his team intends to “keep like that” amidst further tightening of the protective measures there.

Addressing a parents and family orientation session at the university this week, Nesbeth said over the past year the security team “has not had any serious challenge for incidents or crime” on the campus.

“It has been going very well and we intend to keep it like that because we have a good stakeholder approach and we have a good security apparatus,” Nesbeth said while disclosing that the campus police, which is the arm of the three-tiered security operation that he oversees, is being restructured and will see an increase in personnel “by more than 100 per cent”.
