Dominica

Child Soldier Global Report 2001
From the Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers
Grenada, Saint Lucia, Dominica, Saint Vincent and Grenadine and Saint Kitts and Nevis have police forces only, although some paramilitary training is provided for special units. The police are generally organised and supervised according to British law enforcement practices. None of these Caribbean states has a system of conscription into security forces and, therefore, recruitment is on a voluntary basis only.
