NO COP, none
always say enforcement is lacking in the territory because you hardly see police unless vehicles collide
crime will be committed because there is no vigilant enforcement between point A to point B
MaN hunt my @#$ not one cop in sight stop fooling the people governor get on it before members of the public take serious action vigilante justice armed and ready
at the foot of my bed. They trespass anywhere near my house I have to do what I have to do.
And you saying they gone. I believe they both right here still on the island.
But the Smith guy has more connections here.
This is the height of sickening on the HMP and the none visual presence of the RVIP speaks volume.
Every office on duty that evening needs to be seriously question. Someone needs to be held accountable for this escape by this young man. And the took another killer with him too. Look trouble for the bvi
The officer that knows Almestica better than anyone is A/DCP D***s, but the A/CoP has moved him off operational duties because she sees him as a threat for the CoP job. For some, personal enhancement has become more important than catching criminals. Unless this changes more people will get shot!!
You are such a sour idiot. Why would any sensible leader send their best out on leave. There are other officers in the force who can do the same job and more. Did you stretch your nose and mouth to see what you are saying is correct. The place is in turmoil and you on here writing shit. Why don’t you make yourself more useful instead of being a menace. The prisoners should find you and out some sense in your head.
