Dr. Indirah Adderley, IAWP Region 26 Coordinator, “It is an honour to have policewomen of the Caribbean come together at this conference. This will expose us to regional and international standards while empowering us to move towards the reformation of a Caribbean Association of Women Police organization. Its success is our success”.

Royal Cayman Islands Police Service Commissioner, Kurt Walton, “I am excited to host the 2024 IAWP Caribbean Region 26 Conference here in the Cayman Islands. Policing is a business of partnership and together we can leverage our collective knowledge, capabilities, and partnerships to accomplish our individual jurisdictional mandates. I hope this conference will bring together women from across the region and internationally to engage in the vital work of providing our officers and staff with the right resources and networking opportunities, for peer-to-peer learning, mentoring, and strengthening leadership skills”.
