Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands, 29 January 2026 — The Turks and Caicos Islands Border Force commenced the observance of Law Enforcement Week 2026, held under the theme “Strengthening Unity, Honouring Service, Protecting Our Borders,” with simultaneous church services on Sunday, 25 January 2026. The services brought together officers, families, government officials, and partner agencies in reflection, prayer, and thanksgiving.
Services were held at Salem Baptist Church in Grand Turk and the Church of God of Prophecy-Blue Hills in Providenciales, underscoring the importance of faith, unity, and moral grounding in the demanding work of law enforcement.
The services were attended by members of the Turks and Caicos Islands Border Force, the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force, other law-enforcement partners, and members of the wider community. On Providenciales, the Deputy Premier and Minister of Immigration and Border Services joined in worship and reflection.
In his remarks at the Church of God of Prophecy- Blue Hills, the Deputy Premier and Minister of Immigration and Border Services, Hon. Jamell Robinson, reminded officers of God’s protection and guidance, citing Isaiah 54:17: “No weapon formed against you shall prosper.” He noted that this promise extends beyond physical protection, offering reassurance of God’s covering over decisions, judgment, and purpose, while reaffirming the Government’s commitment to supporting officers and their families.
At the Salem Baptist Church service in Grand Turk, Mr. Pascal Bacchus, Acting Permanent Secretary, speaking on behalf of the Ministry of Immigration and Border Services, highlighted the indispensable role of faith in safeguarding the nation, referencing Psalm 127:1: “Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.” He emphasized that while law-enforcement work is demanding and often unseen, its impact is deeply felt, and expressed sincere appreciation for the professionalism, resilience, and sacrifice of officers and their families.
Both services offered prayers for the safety, strength, and wisdom of law-enforcement personnel as they continue to protect the borders, uphold the law, and serve the people of the Turks and Caicos Islands with integrity and dedication.
The Turks and Caicos Islands Border Force extends heartfelt thanks to the clergy, congregations, partner agencies, and all attendees for their support in making the church services of Law Enforcement Week 2026 meaningful and dignified.
