The Special Corps Aruba (CEA) received five transport vehicles

from the Netherlands

ORANJESTAD - Recently, the Minister of Justice and Social
Affairs paid a visit to the CEA to see the five transport ve-
hicles that recently arrived from the Netherlands.

Based on a long-existing agreement between Aruba and
the Netherlands, Aruba receives vehicles from the Neth-
erlands that are in good condition and no longer in use
by the authorities. In this case, CEA received these five
vehicles used to transport detainees.

During the visit, he received a thorough explanation
from the CEA personnel about these vehicles. These ve-
hicles are Mercedes Benz and in excellent condition, fully
equipped with the latest technology and indoor security
cameras for the safety of the personnel and the detain-
ees while in transport.

The Minister is grateful for the arrival of these vehicles and
agrees with CEA Director Ronny Geerman that a structur-
al plan is needed to replace these vehicles in the future.

The negotiations with the Dutch authorities are ongoing
for a replacement plan soon. These investments are es-
sential for the personnel.

The priority is to invest more in the personnel and to have
the necessary equipment to perform their duties accord-
ingly and safely.q
