Report to go public on police tasing & brawl between 2 officers– CoP Matthews



Mr Matthews, who has 11 months left on his second contract as the Virgin Islands top cop, said once the internal investigations are completed and the report is sent to Cabinet and the National Security Council it is his hope that they will be made public.
However, he did not give a time frame for when the public may have access to the internal reports.
Police Brutality?
It was a few weeks ago when a young man was tased on the eastern end of Tortola for allegedly refusing to comply with the curfew. A few days later, a mentally challenged man was also tased in the Scatliffe Alley area of Road Town.
Both incidents had been circulated on social media and were met with outrage by the public and the media, as residents took to social media and online news with stinging criticism over what they alleged as police brutality.
In addition, the report of a public verbal brawl that could have gotten physical between a police sergeant and a constable in front of a local grocery store on Tortola will also be made public, according to Mr Matthews.
The incident resulted in both officers being reassigned.
Both Officers reassigned-CoP
It is our news centre's understanding that Constable Glenn Callwood aka ‘Supa Cop’ has been reassigned a desk job at the Road Town Police Station while Sergeant Alwyn M. St. Hillaire has been reassigned to the police marine base at Road Reef until the outcome of the investigation.
Commissioner Matthews told the host it is his intention to make the reports available to the public after the internal investigations of the three incidents.

I think this Police commissioner is loosing credibility; he has wore out his welcome; he is two f**ed he in b*d with the go***** but publicly sing another tune
Yeah like wh**** trash ...
With his glass of mauby
Can’t wait for this foreign Police Commissioner to leave this Island. Waste of our money.
You may say that can't happen but more than likely we can gain one another respect by doing such. Let's help each other to make it through. We can only try and if we fail in our trying then go further.
Mr. Commissioner I suggest that you take a different route or we will challenge the legality of you going public with internal matters. You have been forewarned sir.
Laws were made for the peace and good governance of the Virgin Islands. See section 71 of the Constitution. Everyone one needs to get copies of the law and read. I will say that the Commissioner of Police has no statutory authority to take an internal matter public. If he do such he is in breach and so breached which will be resulting in civil proceedings.
