The station is among a number of police facilities renovated over the past fiscal year, and is now equipped with an interview room and proper cells to meet the demands of Rolleville and by extension the island of Exuma.

“When my Government came to office we pledged to develop an efficient crime-fighting machine properly manned, trained and equipped to meet the demands of the 21st century,” said Prime Minister Minnis.

Since coming to office, the Government has invested over $17 million in equipment and technology for the Royal Bahamas Police Force, including the expansion of the CCTV system, communications tower upgrade and ShotSpotter gunshot detection technology.

“Today’s reopening represents a further and considerable strengthening of the Royal Bahamas Police Force,” said the Prime Minister.
