'What is the plan’ for good policing in the VI? – Protesters demand of Governor
Mr Ronford speaking to the media said, “It's not a lot of us. A lot of us talk, but they didn't show up but we know we have social media, so they will see it.”
He added that despite the small turnout, the group will head to the Governor's Daniel Pruce's office to present him with a letter for Better protection and for better policing of the ocean, land, and sea.
“What is his plan? We need another plan. We need to have a plan, and the plan needs to be explained to the politicians and the people of this country,” he said ahead of the March.
A demonstration - Bishop Cline
Meanwhile, Bishop Cline said the demonstration was not only to send a message to the Governor, but also to criminal elements.
“I saw it as a demonstration, not so much against, but something. for a safer BVI, for better policing... It is a demonstration to send a message not only to the Police and the Governor that we need better protection, but also to send a message to criminal-minded persons that would have the audacity to come out in the middle of the day and hold up our business places.”
He added, “We are not happy with this kind of behavior, this is not the BVI that we invest in, that we hope to see going forward and leave for our children and our children's children. So when we are marching today, we are marching for better policing and for a better, safer community.”
Bishop Cline called for the involvement of parents, churches, families schools, and everyone else to send a message to the Governor and Police despite not coming out to the march.
“So, wherever you are, even though you didn't come out because of work or whatever, because you're afraid. We decided still to take a stand for a better BVI going forward,” he added.

Over the past 20 plus years, especially the last 10 years, serious criminal activities have been and continuing being on a steady upward spike year in year out. Sad, isn't it? Yes, it is sad.
Of all the many serious crimes that are happening in the BVI daily, is only poor policing the Clines can see, that we need to march.against?
The main focus should not be focusing on the police. This is just a political distraction to get people attention from the many subtle criminal activities of the self-sanctified, but are not, cleanse, but yet pretending to be righteous people for personal attention.
I believe that in the governor's office has a paper shedder. All the governor need to do accept the letter, at then, get his secretary to photocopy it, after that, order the secretary to shed the original, and keep the photocopy in a file for record keeping.
In the BVI lately common sense is not that common, but for many the exception.
Because of the continuing deceptive action of the Clines, the Cline family is in decline, spiritually, socially, and sadly sensible.
We the peace loving people that living in the BVI are saddened by these shameful behaviors of some persons that living among us, but any effort to single out poor policing as the main setback makes no sense.
Aint no Senior Virgin Islander on here blogging let alone referring to themselves as such. Lastly if you were, you would know that all such persons are disgusted with Police performance over the years and it continues to worsen as time progresses.
you too funny
Stop asking what your country can do for you and instead ask what you can do fir yiur country
???????????? you all are something else on here well sah

Really Native Senior?. If you have an original why copy it and tgen destroy it? Common sense is not common anymore based on the piss you are chatting.
Moreover, Isabel Wilkerson, Pulitzer Prize Winner, in Caste (The Orgins of Our Discontents ) reference the era of the Third Reich in Germany where a soldier ( August Landmesser) stood with his arms folded while his other fellow soldiers were” heiling in unison , their right arms rigid in outstretched allegiance to the Fuhrer.” He was the one man standing against a furious rising tide.
Further, Claud Anderson , Ed.D., in Black Labor, White Wealth notes, “A great writer said that, “ Those who the gods would make powerful must first organize.” These are true words which Virgin Islanders must adopt and employ in addressing a myriad of issues facing the territory.
however no one seems to care about the negligence within UK Representatives
For example
Border Security falls under the Portfolio of His Excellency but take a good look at the type of Ammunition in this place: BVI do not manufacture weapons therefore we need far better border protection
For Example:
when you move about this little island one hardly see any presence of law enforcement; yes you will see the presence of massive law enforcement after an accident
The gun boys moving around free simply because the presence of police patrols will act as an deterrent within our communities
Both the movement of the police and improving security of the border is a must
