AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Local Public Safety: VIPD is operating at about half staffing levels, with 25 homicides recorded in 2026 and just one arrest, raising concerns at a Senate hearing about whether current enforcement and community foot-patrol coverage can be sustained. Public Health & Tech Ops: DPNR’s weekly beach water report flags one St. Thomas shoreline as unsafe, but St. Croix results were wiped out by a lab equipment failure—leaving gaps in official swimming guidance. Local Infrastructure at STT: Passengers at Cyril E. King Airport say automated baggage belts failed during record heat, forcing manual handling after premium travel pricing. Connectivity for Travelers: Starlink updated Starlink Roam rules by grouping countries into shared regions—expanding coverage for trips that include the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Regulated Industry: The Office of Cannabis Regulation opened USVI cannabis license applications, with micro-cultivation and research/R&D available territory-wide and a Sept. 15, 2026 deadline. STEM/Logistics Investment: Tropical Shipping ordered four Konecranes Generation 6 mobile harbor cranes, including first-ever units for St. Croix and St. Thomas, aiming to boost quayside cargo handling and cut emissions. Policy Watch: The SEC proposed expanded default electronic delivery for investor communications, and the House advanced a bill to make daylight saving time permanent nationwide.
