A stronger welfare network for the Caribbean
The Caribbean Federation of Police Welfare Associations (CFPWA) is a non-profit regional body that advocates for the rights, welfare and working conditions of police officers across the Caribbean. It was founded on 25 May 2007 in Nassau, Bahamas, after nine countries signed a Memorandum of Understanding.
Core Mission
Enhance the productivity and operational standards of law enforcement, and create and sustain welfare programmes that support police officers and their families throughout the region.
“One Voice, One Vision”
Uniting the region’s police welfare organizations into one cohesive force that elevates policing solidarity and protects the labour, safety and rights of front-line officers.
Advocacy
Operational resources, adequate healthcare provision, and uniform standards for working conditions, housing, mental health support and equipment.
