Richard Ullger takes vacation leave after less than a month on job!

Mr Ullger's appointment had caused widespread protest after his pal, Governor Daniel Pruce, ousted the local qualified Acting Commissioner of Police, Ms Jacqueline E. Vanterpool, even after crime under her watch went down, and confidence in the police force was beginning to be restored.
Mr Pruce, a UK-appointed Governor, disregarded the recommendations of the Police Service Commission (PoSC), which voted against Mr Ullger's acting appointment and had recommended Ms Vanterpool for the CoP position.
Pruce not committed to law and order?
The governor, who seemed not to be committed to law and order and following the rules, was determined to move Ms Vanterpool because she allegedly challenged him when he continued to show no regard for the courts, law and order and the rights of residents and police officers.
Many residents remain suspicious of Mr Ullger’s appointment, and some claim he has an agenda and may be here to continue the witch-hunt of former CoP Mark Collins. The alleged witch-hunt involves bogus arrests and charges against residents who advocate for law and order and speak out against double standards, hypocrisy and victimisation, including of fellow police officers.
Is he seeking credit already?
Mr Ullger is expected to be back sometime in the first week of January 2026.
According to the same Government House sources, speaking to our newsroom on condition of anonymity, Ms Vanterpool will be acting CoP.
Social Media has said that Mr Ullger was claiming credit for a drug bust last week on a ship named ‘C Elizabeth II with more than 750 kilograms of cocaine, however, he had nothing to do with it.
It was reported to be a USVI Operation, and the perpetrators were chased in Virgin Islands waters, after which USVI authorities informed local law enforcement authorities.
