The Virgin Islands Police Department (VIPD) advises the public that, effective Monday, March
20, 2026, and until further notice, the Firearms Bureau on St. Thomas is operating on a
limited-service basis due to technical difficulties.
At this time, the Firearms Bureau will only be accepting firearm-related applications. All other
services are temporarily suspended.
The VIPD is actively working to resolve the issue and restore full operations as quickly as
possible. Once all services have resumed, a public notification will be issued.
The Department appreciates the community’s patience and understanding during this time.
