The Governor acts as the chief executive officer, representing the Virgin Islands at the local, federal, and international levels. The Office provides strategic leadership across government agencies, initiates key legislative and budget proposals, and ensures coordination in areas such as public safety, economic development, education, healthcare, and disaster response. Support functions within the Office include executive administration, communications, legal counsel, and intergovernmental affairs, all aimed at advancing the Governor’s policy agenda and delivering responsive public service. The Bureau of Economic Research (BER) operates under the Office of the Governor and serves as the central agency for economic data collection, analysis, and reporting for the U.S. Virgin Islands. Its primary mission is to support evidence-based decision-making by providing accurate, timely, and comprehensive economic information to policymakers, government agencies, the private sector, and the public. The BER monitors key economic indicators such as gross territorial product (GTP), labor market trends, inflation, and demographic shifts. It also plays a vital role in preparing economic forecasts, evaluating the impact of proposed policies, and administering federally mandated surveys and data submissions. In addition to its research functions, the Bureau supports economic development planning, grant applications, and special projects by supplying critical economic insights that guide strategic initiatives across the Territory. The Office of Gun Violence Prevention (OGVP) operates under the Office of the Governor and was created to address and reduce gun violence throughout the territory. Established as part of the Governor’s public safety and community wellness agenda, the Office’s is expected to collaborate with agencies within the government to implement data-driven strategies that prevent violence, support affected families and promote safer neighborhoods. With a focus on both prevention and response, the OGVP is a central component of the Territory’s broader commitment to building resilient, violence-free communities. Directed by a mandate to coordinate closely with law enforcement, public health officials, schools, non-profits, and community organizations; the OGVP is charged with identifying at-risk individuals, disrupt cycles of violence, and promote outreach, education, and intervention programs. The Office also plays a key role in policy development, public awareness, and resource mobilization to reduce gun-related incidents and improve community trust.
