The Royal Dominica Police Force has issued a Pink Alert for Kenan Peters, a man reported missing and whose whereabouts remain unknown. A Pink Alert is the public appeal used by the police when a person is missing and there are concerns for their safety, and it asks residents across the island to help locate him.
Under the Pink Alert procedure, the public is asked to report any sighting or information that could assist officers in finding the missing person. The police have not released further details about the circumstances of the disappearance, and no other information about Mr Peters has been made public at this stage.
Anyone who has seen Kenan Peters, or who knows where he may be, is asked to contact the nearest police station or the police emergency numbers without delay. Even a small detail — a place he was last seen, a vehicle he may have travelled in, or a person he may have been with — can help investigators narrow the search.
Missing person cases are treated as a priority by the constabulary, and the Pink Alert mechanism exists precisely so that the public can act as extra eyes and ears across Dominica's communities. Residents in Roseau, Portsmouth, and the rural parishes are all asked to remain attentive and to pass on anything that may be relevant.
The police have reminded the public that information can be given confidentially, and that there is no penalty for coming forward in good faith. People who think they may have seen Mr Peters are urged not to approach him if doing so would put anyone at risk, but to contact the authorities immediately and let officers respond.
Dominica 1 will carry further updates from the police as soon as they are released. In the meantime, the public is asked to share the Pink Alert widely — with family, neighbours, and community groups — so that the appeal reaches as many people as possible, including Dominicans in the diaspora who may be in contact with friends and relatives on the island.
Anyone with information is asked to call the police emergency line or visit the nearest police station. The constabulary has not indicated how long the search will continue, but Pink Alerts remain active until the missing person is found or the alert is formally withdrawn.
