Safety
Kingston’s crime rate is higher than that of other places on the island, and it is one of the most dangerous cities in the world in terms of murder rate. Although the Trenche town of Kingston does have an interesting history, no tourists dare to go there unless they are part of a goodwill tour or some kind of pre-arranged similar activity with a high level of security. Generally, tourists who go there will sign a death sentence execution order. However, common sense and preventive measures should ensure a pleasant experience in a safe area of the city. If you find that you need the police, the emergency number is 119.
