DC Boldewijn seized the opportunity to discuss several problems that the local police force faces. The lack of transportation for the police is one of the biggest problems in the Coronie District. DC Boldewijn explained that the police officers must have enough vehicles to do their job in the district. He also emphasized that the construction of  the police station in Coronie requires urgent attention. The construction projects commenced in 2013 but was never finished. DC Boldewijn wants the construction work to resume so that Coronie can finally have its very own police station. The police officers who are stationed at Coronie are still in a small room in the building of the Ministry of Regional Development. Commissioner Pinas assured the DC that he would the problems as soon as possible.
