"Grenada has long been home to a significant and vibrant population of U.S. citizens, many of whom live, work, study, and invest in our tri-island state. These individuals are valued members of our communities and benefit from the same security protections and public services as all nationals and residents. Their presence is a testament to the confidence placed in Grenada's quality of life, safety, and governance, and historical people-to-people ties with the U.S. Additionally, hundreds of thousands of visitors travel to Grenada annually, enjoying our renowned hospitality, rich culture, and world-class tourism offerings."
A U.S. State Department advisory warned that violent crime can occur anywhere in Grenada and noted American victims of armed robbery, assault, burglary, rape, and occasional killings, with slower police response times than in the United States. The advisory recommended buying travel insurance, checking evacuation and medical coverage, and keeping a low profile. Grenada's government swiftly pushed back, defending safety and highlighting thousands of American residents, workers, students, and investors who receive the same security protections and public services as nationals. The government emphasized the island's strong tourism numbers, hospitality, culture, and economic reliance on visitors.
