Three members of staff at the Regional Security System (RSS) Headquarters have earned certification in Caribbean Security and Defense after successfully completing a specialised course hosted by the William J. Perry Center for Hemispheric Defense Studies.

Elizabeth Bynoe, Sadio Harris, and Captain Dr. Dreana Marshall were among the 52 participants who took part in the residential phase of the programme, held in Washington, D.C. from March 9 to 20, 2026.

Deputy Executive Director of the RSS, Atlee Rodney, who served as a visiting professor for the course, stated that the programme was highly important and particularly relevant for senior law enforcement and defence officers across the region.

“The topics covered were relevant to present regional security challenges. I am of the view that this course has achieved its objectives and has transformed the participants to be more effective in their respective roles in keeping our region safe and secure,” he affirmed.

During the two-week programme, participants examined several key issues, including transnational organised crime, maritime insecurity, illicit finance and money laundering, cyber threats, geopolitical competition, and the region’s vulnerability to natural disasters. They also assessed how these dynamics intersect with policy frameworks in the United States and broader trends across the Western Hemisphere.
