FAT HOGS BAY, Tortola, VI– Expressing concern at gun violence in the Virgin Islands (VI), Tola Radio 100.5 FM radio co-host Rosemary Cindy Rosan says although murders and crime continue to be a concern in the VI she would not want the local police to have guns, adding that some police officers are "psychos".

Rosan's comments come on the heels of the gunning down of 25-year-old Julio Rivera on Purcell Estate on November 6, 2023, in a parking lot along DeCastro Street. It is the 6th shooting death for 2023 in the VI.

No guns for police - Cindy Rosan 

According to the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF), Mr Rivera was found with “multiple gunshot wounds about his body in the main parking lot on Wickham’s Cay I.”

Speaking on gun violence in the territory during this morning’s  November 7, 2023, edition of ‘Da Morning Braff’ radio show, Rosan said despite the crime, she does not want the police to carry guns.

“‘I’m going to be apolitical, just based on how the police handle us, some of them, personally I wouldn’t want them to have guns,” she said.

“Some of them their attitudes and their egos and their behaviors need to be in check… some of them are mental psychos that I won’t want to see have a gun. I’m telling you straight up,” she added.

Criminals carry guns & police should too- Caller 

Rosan said the same way the gun violence bothers her, it is not normal to see the VI reach a place where officers are walking around with guns.

“I don’t know if we are at a place where that’s what I want to see daily… but if that’s what we have to do to get it under control,” she said she is just not sure. 

Meanwhile, one caller adding to the conversation urged the host to get comfortable with the idea that criminals carry guns and the police should also.

The caller argued that police would not shoot at persons randomly, and stressed that with changing times, armed police can help bring crime under control.

    Not every cop is a good guy but at the same time not allowing them to carry guns means that they will never be in a position to respond to anything right away. These criminals have guns on them its crazy that the police don't. Every week somebody getting shoot or robbed the VI already becoming uncomfortable!

    1st. You have to proven to be mentally stable and very Verse with the laws especially in terms of when and why to use a fire- arm. 2nd. They have to learn to shoot and be good at it. We don't want them to be shooting at Paul Ms and hit Harry or another person, or property...

      If they’re not mentally stable, they shouldn’t be policeman anyway.

    Wow! People like Cindy, with her fowl mouth, add to a climate of disrespect in this society that was unheard off before. In fact, where she has gone to live outside the BVI, people speak of her demeaner in such derogatory terms and attribute this behaviour to people of the BVI. Why? I hang my head in shame. She didn't like it when VINO had her head hanging out a psychiatric ward. Stop it!!!

    The incognito trained professional law enforcement officers in the BVI are all trained marksmen that can kill with a single shot from their concealed weapons . Criminals and other gangsters should live in fear of these plain clothes men and women protecting the BVI residents.

    Carrying guns is irrelevant because the police arrive AFTER crimes are committed.

    Woman get a life (Cindy) so the psychos in the streets can have illegal guns killing each other and the police that are trained to use them are psychos and should not carry guns . shut your mouth cindy and do not let that s... slip out again. It is better to be thought of as a fool than to open your mouth and be proven otherwise.

    Oh my Lord have mercy on your people. Look who is calling the police "psycho " . It looks like Fire calling Yelo crazy. She is fitting very well in the above categories.

    Considering that SinD is not in law enforcement or legal work or medicine,
    her public declaration that some of the VI policemen are " mental psychos" gives indication that she is acquainted with "some of them" so far, intimately and personally. Shameless hussy!
    I think that John Q Public would agree that psycho mental and or otherwise psycho,if there is such thing, aptly describes dkme of her conditions..

    I just here wondering when and where allyo are in contact with police. All this familiarity and personal description. No matter the country I am in,police over there and I over here. But then I as a woman not in
    Bars bellying up on a bar stool with police and that sort. For certain I wont recognize they are police if they are not in uniform. Another thing is that they are from UK and updeislun so our paths would rarely cross socially. Just a lil taken back that Cindy so familiar with them and their personality even though claiming and compaining that they are rarely seen in public places but come to think of it she too is updeislun stock. One set ah people with like behaviour in many ways which is as it should be. So she and them psycho together. She must know.

    Ms. Rosan, you're so on point with this one!

    You know, I have seen Tola cops at work for many years, and in many cases, it's been a heavy handed approach, for simple, minor, and petty offenses.

    And I'm talking about a consistent heavy handed approach.

    We need caring, understanding, but knowledgeable about the law, kind of officers, with the right training, handling the use of firearms.

    And, I'm not sure, if most of these officers, fit those descriptives..

    ..Mental evaluations, and it's continuity, must be a part of the training, before the use of firearms, can be placed in officers hands. There should be no way around this!

    Ms. Rosan I have always supported you but this time you have lost any support or positive feeling I have for you. I wouldn't say much but it is ok in your book to give the guns to your phyco "friends". The platform you make this statement from is rifed with such sentiment.

    Ok forget the messenger, what is protocol as of now? police do have firepower but issued to special officers like those n the taskforce or special units, u guys think it would be right to just give any officer that joins the force a firearm? Be real ..

    Police officers all around the world carry firearms, obviously there has to be proper training during your time at the training academy before you graduate. The fact that only a special group of officers are allowed to carry firearms while on patrol is obviously not working. This system hasn't been working for years, the criminal elements have upgraded and the police service hasn't. The police officers out there no longer only have to deal with someone who's stealing a goat or making an illegal right turn. They now have to deal with criminals who are committing armed robberies and murders. Even England has updated their no firearm policy , it's time to get serious BVI.

    I see the disrespect already. 'Psycho' police; how many are that, which ones are that, who determines that? We have some good police here and some not so good police so to label them with one brush is disrespectful. But that's what she wants, to be able to disrespect them and not be concerned that they have a gun. Well you should respect people. All people. She is a 'psycho' in the media and she won't behave herself regardless of public outcry, so why should anyone care about her opinion on policing or national security?
