    I would like to congratulate Ag. Commissioner of Police and her team for providing service and protection to the Territory. Since she has been acting in the office of Commissioner of Police, one can see that the force has been cooperating with her to reduce crime and criminality in the society. However, I would like to see her visit all the Police Divisions regularly to ensure the stations are well kept and they are provided with the requisite supplies. She needs to listen to the concerns of members of the community.
    I would like to see more Community Policing being done to educate the population of the role of the Police force so that she will receive full cooperation from the public. Also, the Traffic Division needs to enforce the safe use of the road, especially with the young motorcyclist and the large trucks.
