And yes the FNM did such a great job. ROTFLMAO.

Is this the same Police Commissioner who has all along told us that we must do our part to help our police force fight the growing cancerous scourge of crime in our society today? Now he says he and his police force don't need our help! I can't help but suck ma teeth on hearing dis!!

The Comrade Chief Constable of Policeman's has publicly rubbished the whole idea of communities coming together to reduce crime. He's not even smiling when he tells members of communities, that policing is going so well that not only don't they need to come together to begin to get a grip on neighboured crime, that he doesn't need their help. Okay, maybe I didn't correctly read the story? Could be cuz of his being misquoted, or under quoted? Or, is it - possible, the Chief Constable doesn't realize, how important communities are to good policing? Forgive me for my sounding somewhat, all Chief constable confused.

Idle hands are the work of the devil. Until you get these punks off the street and working, nothing will happen on the crime front. A quality education might help as well. Also it would be nice to have some leadership in this country that was beyond reproach but we all know that being shady and corrupt is endemic amongst our politicians.

My how far the diva COP has fallen .................. he is a tired, beaten civil servant. Time to retire

You have Allyson Maynard-Gibson to thank for the revolving door at Fox Hill Prison. Right now though, she's much too busy trying to keep John Boswick from spending even one full day in Fox Hill Prison. It would seem the serious charges against Boswick for the illegal possession of firearms ammunition is about to be dismissed thanks in large part to the way in which Allyson Maynard-Gibson runs the AG's Office. As AG, she seems to be doing a better job at defending Boswick than his own defense counsel is capable of doing!

Comrades I am not among those calling for the Chief Constable to step aside but I will not support his stubbornness of resisting outside help. In fact he does it all the time, by sending his officers off to countries for training. There are presently 1541 citizens and foreigners confined at Fox Hill Prison, with 900 locked up/remanded in jail, resulting from minor, non violence drug offenses.
"The Royal Bahamaland Police Force exists under the authority of The Police Act 1965. In accordance with the Act, the force is headed by a Commissioner who IS subject to the AUTHORITY of The Minister of National Security of The Bahamaland. The Commissioner is Ex-Officio Provost Marshall, and has the responsibility for the GUIDANCE and general direction of The Royal Bahamaland Police Force."
Comrades this is the real meat on the political interference bone.

Hilary Clinton says the most important is not announcing her candidacy for president or even running for the post. The most important thing is having a vision and a plan and having the ability to carry out that plan once you are elected

Where is the legitimate public debate. We have the Police Commissioner making a philosophical statement about the administration of our criminal justice system, of which he is apart. It is a BIG issue as crime impacts all of us, is he right or wrong?
. The Tribune reporter totally misses the point and diminishes the issue by quoting Bran, who as usual offers no more than a surface, shallow political assessment. During the last election the PLP blamed crime on the FNM because they realised that society believes crime is the problem of the government of the day. This obviously has come back to bite the PLP but make no mistake it is us, the general public or society, that has the most to lose from this way of thinking. What has happened to us? We are quick to criticise and belittle fellow Bahamians trying to do something positive yet with respect to the BIG and IMPORTANT issues in our society we are prepared to sit back and expect the government or someone else to solve those issues for us. My friends, democracy is a wonderful theory and it works often not because of good government but because of the vigilence in which society holds government, even good but especially bad government, to account through public awareness, discourse, debate and activism.

You don't need outside help, but you do need more education. Why are cops so stupid? Why do they have the mental capacity of a 5 year old? Your Facebook page for example, you have a policeman posting in ghetto slang - "Coropral" Pratt. And it's not by accident, that is obviously how they talk. They don't even spell CORPORAL properly. If you want to be taken serious, EDUCATE YOURSELF, for the love of god. OR at the very least let someone with basic education handle your Facebook page, Website, etc. ~ MAJOR
