AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Public Safety: VIPD is operating at about half its needed staffing, with 25 homicides recorded in 2026 and only one arrest, raising concerns at a Senate hearing about whether enforcement and community foot patrols can be sustained. Airport Tech & Infrastructure: At Cyril E. King Airport, automated baggage conveyor belts reportedly failed during a record 91°F heatwave, forcing passengers and staff into manual handling after premium travel pricing. Water Safety: DPNR flagged an unsafe St. Thomas beach for Enterococci levels, while St. Croix results were left unusable after a lab equipment malfunction—no clear safety data for weekend swimmers. Cannabis Regulation: The Office of Cannabis Regulation opened applications for multiple cannabis license categories, with submissions due Sept. 15, 2026, via the online portal. Logistics & Ports: Tropical Shipping ordered four Konecranes Gottwald mobile harbor cranes—first of their kind for St. Croix and St. Thomas—aimed at boosting quayside cargo handling and lowering emissions. Connectivity: Starlink updated Starlink Roam rules by grouping countries into shared regions, expanding roaming coverage for travelers including the U.S. Virgin Islands.
