The police can't work 12hour shifts forever. How many of our politicians work 12hour shifts on a continuos basis for the salary we pay them? Some of them can't stay awake even when they know they're being recorded on camera.

consecutively , daily , and on high alert. The last thing you want is a tired hungry unpaid pissed off big guy with a gun needing to give hours to your petty issue. It's not about handling it , they have wives and children. So there's no time for emotional release when they get home. There's missed obligations. Even if they get a check for the week , what time is that to cash in time before groceries run out. 12hr shifts and not even a service to do all theses errands for then during normal hours, bunch of shit.

This goes in par with the whole social media monitoring rumors this week. Reputation threatened = arm flexing.

or become bitter, vile individuals with little respect for others

I understand your point, but these same police officers dont have a problem moonlighting for the PSA................security guards to every type of activity you can name AND in government uniform etc. So why cant they serve their country????????????????????

Hey duck face bastard. Stop being a asshole. Police officers are people like you and I. Infact I would suspect you have a relative (s) who are police officers, so you have to be understanding in this matter. You claim you where employed at a restaurant business and worked 15 hours. But i am sure anything over 8 hours you where compensated for, but police officers are not compensated and are working extended hours, that is the problem. These people have families like you and i. (Well i cant say because your a duck lol). If there is something strange in your neighbor hood, who you gonna call (the police).

Even if they get a check for the week , what time is there to cash it before the banks close, before groceries run out. 12hr shifts and not even a service to do all these errands for them during normal hours, bunch of shit. Just hire more positions one time. You mean of the $15million wasted on a commercial , we can't find $15million to hire more police to stay out later, process refugee cases, target human traffickers. I don't expect they'll add any damn job if they NEED more police immediately and won't do it.

I tried dating one. I gave up on their schedule.

There is no other country in the world geographically located so close to the united states and 2 of the most violent and poorest Nations in the world. Also with a number of other islands to police. so no other Nation or country can tell us from their experience how to police here but yet the majority of ungrateful Bahamians complain about the Police here wow.

They should be burnt out dealing with a dysfunctional social, moral, systematic problem that has caused so much crime... Police can only shift crime from one location to another they don't stop crime.. Crime is a product of dysfunction, its a virus... Believing that Police can cure crime is like believing one can cure the measiles by poping pimples with a needle... They are poorly selected, poorly paid, poor accountability and training, poorly supervised, and we exspect quality.. Now u overwork them to solve a problem created by years of social and moral decay brought on by years of self descrimination, greed and politicians who feed on ignorance of the mases for there own self interest.. This is why me and many other young Bahamian men and women leave and stay away for so long..U get tired of the B.S, self discrimination, lack of opportunity and ignorance..

Can someone please help me i have goggled for the most dangerous countries and the countries with the most murders per capita and guess what the Bahamas does not show up anywhere on any of these lists where did this information come from?

here is a recent local headline
"Hospital Report shows 40% more rapes than police statistics"

[http://www.tribune242.com/news/2014/feb…]

there is also some funky issues with what is murder and attempted murder and causing harm that appear to reduce the crime statistics.

New Providence is 21x7, with 250,000 people and over 2000 police and 1000 defence force officers and they cant solve crime? Thats more law enforcement than most large first world cities per capita. Our problem is not quantity but quality of officers AND corruption

The Bahamas for the most part does not have a crime problem............. Nassau has

The source of the crime is ignorance, poverty and greed...The police have nothing to do with personal ignorance, poverty and greed... The police cannot stop worthless men from impregnating women, or irresponsible women from selecting irresponsible men to breed with creating unstable homes & fatherless boys are girls.. Nor can the police control politicians.. F'd up homes without good leadership and accountability generally breed criminals or irresponsible people... U can have 100000 cops it still will not stop worthless men for impregnating irresponsible women, mixed it with poverty & there u have the breeding ground for criminals....

You hit the nail on the head

Bahamianpride is spot on. Motherhood is a sacred gift from God. However, thousands of slutty Bahamian females have desecrated this precious gift from God by becoming ghetto incubators
