The ceremony commenced with the Governor General, His
Excellency Sir Emmanuel Neville Cenac welcoming the future Justices of the Peace.
In his short remarks he briefly went through the history of Justice of the
Peace institution while in between adding a bit of humour which is part of
his signature at many of his speeches. In closing he told the new appointees,”
You are the eyes of your community.”
After the short remarks the Governor General's, Aid de
Camp Curtis Sealy, swore-in the Justices of the Peace administered the Oath of Office.
The Certificates were then presented to each JP by the Personal Secretary to the Governor
General. (View video below)
The mission
of the Justices of the Peace: To provide the highest standard of service and
performance to the citizens of Saint Lucia through efficiency, consistency and
fairness and to ensure that justice is provided without unreasonable delay
thereby enhancing the public's confidence in the Justice system
Choiseul/Saltibus now has 13 registered Justices of the Peace. The table below shows the Choiseul/Saltibus Justices of the

Support your JPs - they are there at your service; make use of them. A new blog will be created soon to inform the Choiseul/Saltibus residents and by extension the island about the importance of JPs in the community. The blog will be named "Justices of the Peace and You."
