PoSC rejects Governor’s recommendation of Richard Ullger for CoP
The sources, speaking to our newsroom this morning, November 10, 2025, have confirmed that Governor Daniel Pruce, in his relentless determination to have a UK national head the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF), recommended a Richard Ullger to the PoSC last week.
However, the same sources have confirmed that the PoSC has rejected the Governor’s choice in a letter over the weekend and stood by its recommendation of the current acting Police Commissioner of Police (CoP) Jacqueline E. Vanterpool.
Daniel Pruce a polarising Governor?
Last week, Mr Pruce, a now controversial and polarising figure in the Territory, ousted the Acting CoP Ms Vanterpool and reverted her to the Deputy Commissioner’s post. This is a move opposed by a majority of Virgin Islanders and the Government of the Day.
The move will take effect on November 18, 2025, when Mr Ullger will take up the top job for an unknown period. As usual, Mr Pruce is expected to reject the PoSC recommendation and hide behind Section 97(2) of the Constitution, which gives him discretion.
There are many qualified law enforcement persons, both locally and regionally, who can hold the post of CoP; therefore, there is no need to bring in another UK national, according to political pundits, unless there is a hidden agenda to initiate a reign of terror on the citizens of the Virgin Islands, according to some.
We will march!
Many social activists, the media, civil society, and religious leaders have described Mr Pruce's decision as racist, sexist and a colonial power grab and have planned a week of protest beginning today, Monday, November 10, 2025, at 3:30 PM in front of the Governor’s Office parking lot in Road Town, the capital city.

Men like Mr Noel lloyd, Mr Lavity stoutt, Mr Brewley, and others , the men of today (some) are cowards, where is the Honorable Skeleton and others ??, wow , they should be ashame,, wow ..
This non-amusing comedy and misguided racist, sexist, and colonialist tragedy is as *&^%’ up as Hogan’s Goat. Daniel Pruce has earned hands down the WOAT ( Worst of All Time) moniker,,dethroning former Commissioner John Augustus Cockburn Cruikshank. This racist, sexist, colonialist mu*@ $ku** is living high on the HOG in the BVI on BVI taxpayers dime/expense, viz, housing, food, transportation, communication, entertainment, etc.; Webster would define this as crusading. Without the host, parasites die. How amusing is it in the 21st Century that Virgin Islanders don’t have any (nought) say in appointing or electing a governor to represent the Virgin Islands,,yet the UK-appointed Governor goes as Governor of the Virgin Islands. The attitude and behavior of the UK-appointed Governor harkens back to the 15th Century. Pruce does not give a rat’s ass about the BVI and its local people. Consequently, he needs to cart his racist, sexist, muda $junk on the first boat sailing back to the UK to his cold flat. He is bad for the BVI and its people. He acts like a disciple of Charles Darwin and Social Darwinism natural selection. The BVI is living the the result of the decision to appease colonialists,, self-discriminating by put others over own,, putting whites on pedestal, by dividing and scattering, meritorious manumission, etc. IF DCP Vanterpool situation does not make us stand tall and fight for our qualified own, what will. It is disappointing that the protest will only go on for a week. This playing right into the colonialists hand; they expect us to protest for a minute and go away . We need to persistently and consistently protest until the aim/goal is achieved. A rattler does not quit until the job is done. Strike, strike, strike, and strike again.
People protest away all be it peacefully but good to see, 'Self Determination' rasing its head on thus one. People power.
Truth will always raise its head in the end, Virgin Island definitely keep this one from your door
