In light of the recent terrorist attack in France and with the high alert the French President Holland has issued for all French territories, the authorities on the Dutch Side of Sint Maarten has decided as a precautionary safety measure to also increase their security at major points of entry to the island such as, airport and harbor. Joint controls by the Customs, Immigration and Border Protection Service and Police Department at the border crossings between both sides of the island will be part of this plan of approach. All other critical infrastructures on the island are advised to heighten their security at their location and to report any suspicious situations or persons they may encounter to the Police Department. These security measures will continue indefinitely.
