US State Department Raises Grenada Advisory to Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution

Key points

• The U.S. State Department raised the Grenada advisory to Level 2, added a 'crime' risk indicator, removed previously listed areas of increased risk, and updated the advisory summary.
• It advises exercising increased caution in Grenada due to risk of crime; violent crime can occur anywhere in Grenada.
• American citizens in Grenada have been victims of armed robbery, assault, burglary and rape, and in some cases have been killed; police response times may not be as fast as one might expect in the United States.
• Specific guidance includes not physically resisting a robbery, using caution when walking or driving at night, keeping a low profile, staying aware of surroundings, and not answering the door unless you know who it is.
• The advisory recommends enrolling in STEP, reviewing the Country Security Report, and visiting the CDC website for the latest travel health information for Grenada.
