Deputy CoP Alwin James announces retirement
Mr James informed his colleagues of his bombshell decision to retire via a letter, which has since been obtained by our newsroom.
It is unclear when will be Mr James' last day on the job.
"I have made the decision after almost 37 years of service to the people of this territory and the force to end my career as a law enforcement officer. It is with sadness that I officially share my departure with all ranks and support staff that has served with me for the past years," the letter stated.
'We overcame many adversities'- DCP James
Mr James said the RVIPF was faced with many challenges and overcame many adversities during his tenure.
"I love this noble profession and is grateful for the rewarding and successful career over the years."
He also thanked the RVIPF for giving him support during his time in leadership.
"There were some traumatic experiences like the murder of Constable Rawlins and wounding of Ag. Sergeant Browne in 1985, shooting of Chief Inspector Jacob George in 1996, hurricane Irma in 2017 and others that will never be forgotten by me. We stood as a family and supported each other," Mr James stated in his letter to colleagues.
DCP James was appointed Acting Deputy Commissioner of Police in 2012 and was promoted to the rank substantively in late 2013. He served as Acting Commissioner for an extended period in 2015 and played a critical part in the response to the catastrophic hurricanes in 2017.
He was awarded the Queen’s Police Medal in Her Majesty the Queen’s 2021 New Year Honours.

Can't figure out what you're getting at here.
THAT WHY YOU DONT LIKE HIM..MAY I SAY THIS MANY LIKED HIM.
Now that he is leaving, let us wish him well in his retirement. To those who are still serving the force let us try to embrace the community thus making the people to cooperate with them and make this territory a better place for everyone to feel safe

What do you call this?
If you are a Police ,you sure have less years in the Police Force that James # 1 2,3,4 or what ever number you want to use to discribe them and for sure you have not contributed as much as them to the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force and the BVIs and you are not a better Police officer than them and will never be. The record is there to show. I can bet you that you haven't been to court more than them.
Instead of all you keep hating on James 1, 2,3,4, or what ever number study all you life. For sure James # 1,2, 3 or what ever number you want to use is not studying you.
Do me a favour, man up or woman up and since you know that James #2 should go next say it in person don't hide behind blogs. Because I know them and if anyone of them have that to tell You that in your face they surely will.
Some of all you wasn't even born yet when they join the Force but all you just want to go in and sit on all you A...s and do nothing but want Rank and position. Go work. You haters.
