Sint Maarten Police Force Assists TEATT Inspectors in Simpson Bay

In the early hours of Thursday, August 29th, 2024, officers of the Sint Maarten Police Force (KPSM) were called to assist inspectors from the Ministry of Tourism, Economic Affairs, Traffic, and Telecommunications (TEATT) during an inspection of a business establishment located in the Simpson Bay area.

The police were requested to assist after the TEATT Inspectors encountered a situation where the management of the establishment in question was found to be operating outside the rules and regulations set forth by the Ministry. Despite prior warnings and notices, the business had continued its operations without adhering to the necessary legal requirements.

In cooperation with the TEATT Inspectors, the Police ensured that the establishment was closed down

to prevent further non-compliant activities. The Sint Maarten Police Force remains committed to upholding the law and supporting other government agencies in their efforts to regulate and maintain order within the business community.

The KPSM encourages all businesses to comply with the regulations established by the TEATT and other relevant authorities.
