PHILIPSBURG:--- In preparation for the anticipated Carnival 2025, the Sint Maarten Police Force (KPSM) and the Gendarmerie of Saint Martin have strengthened their working agreement to reinforce their commitment to public safety.
On Thursday, April 3, 2025, members of the Carnival 2025 Coordinating Team from KPSM met with their French law enforcement counterparts to discuss safety strategies and cross-border cooperation during the upcoming festivities.

As part of this collaboration, French officers will assist KPSM in maintaining order and security during key Carnival events, including the parades, Jump-Ups, and large shows at the Festival Village.
