    The police & governor need to prioritize the fire arm trade & possession over all. When you sit and think about it better these young people sell weed a victimless crime, than get into all kinds of serious & petty crime such as burglary, theft, scams or robbery which other countries suffer heavily from.

    Its high time to legalize create a new industry and leverage the tourist arrivals, many come from cannabis legal states and countries.

    a substantial amount of drop crimes with in this society involves non virgin islanders but the territory gets the negative remarks

    as a matter of fact; some people joins the royal virgin islands police force takes the vows to uphold the laws of the territory yet finds themselves before the magistrates court and the high court and these serious issues gets swept under the rug

    was made to overstand recently a member of the same special unit within the royal virgin islands police force went before the justice system in this British Overseas Territory for breaking the same laws he swear to uphold, got bail and mysteriously disappeared from the territory

    2019 members of another special squad that formed a department within RVIPF went before the justice system for tampering with evidence and these folks continue to walk free among you and me throughout your village and every man mount shut

    But only the Tola boys & girls are highlighted and showcase as the big time criminals in their own home town….run talk that
