The Alpha Team has compiled an analysis of its operations in 2021 compare with
those of previous years in particular the number of packages of narcotics
intercepted by the team.
The amount of narcotics intercepted and confiscated, at Princess Juliana
International Airport and Port St. Maarten cargo section, is much higher compared to
previous years. The reason for the increase is not completely clear as yet. The
Alpha Team will continue to monitor this situation.
The Alpha Team is a jointly multidisciplinary team comprising the Police Force of St.
Maarten (KPSM), Customs, Immigration, the Koninklijke Marechaussee, and the
Dutch Caribbean Coast Guard.
