    Let me commend the royal police officers of her majesty's royal virgin islands police force,for their continued efforts to enforce her majesty's laws in the uk-colony of the british overseas territory of the bvi.

    The residents of the Queen Elizabeth the Second, are at peace,in their minds,knowing that the royal police officers of the bvi are hard at work,while convicted criminals are outside,looking to harm innocent people..

    But I have one advice for the police..

    Whenever you come across convicted criminal like Mathew hart and this other convicted criminal from longlook,who said that police tase them, officers, TASE DEMMM AASSSSSS of the street.

    The BVI is under a state of emergency,so no unauthorized person should be out in public.

    Good job,police officers

      You have to always tell the whole facts when you seek to engage in a conversation from here and not from here. as a classic example and do not get upset.... the local chap got 3 years for a television set while another was given 6 years for Killing another Person and yes!! the court record is public knowledge: Anyone committing gun crimes in this place should be dealt with severely be he or she from earth, mars or the moon

    Look at the profile of these kids with little or no responsibility. They just want to have money to splurge and don't work for it. There are many grown people with many responsibilities who lost their jobs but are not out there robbing and thiefing. Its a mentality.

    It is so predictable. Young men such as these, are the same ones you fight with on a daily basis in school to focus on their school work so that they don't end up becoming a plague to society but sadly, few listen.
    And the beat goes on.......
