Stop politicizing crime...it is NOT a political issue! Both parties need to work TOGETHER to solve this problem. If we remain divided as country the criminals will continue to tear us apart.

True. . .but when the PLP was told that they disagreed . . .they just wanted to win the election. . .they insisted that they had it right by showing that the FNM was responsible for high crime! We the people knew that from 2012. . .but DPM Davis. . .and by extension his party insisted that the FNM were responsibly. . .we elected them to do better. . .the rest is history!

Can someone please explain why we aren't killing the killers(wake bahamas) we are under attack.

They do not have a plan. We need foreign police from top on down plain and simple!

The slain lifeless body of the gunned down Church Minister should be laid in the House of Assembly immediately in front of Bernard Nottage's seat! Nottage's gross incompetency in fighting crime all these years makes him just as culpable as the murderers who gun down their victims. Nottage's gross dereliction of duty allows for easy access to illegal fire arms by gun toting murderers.....hell, we may as well think of Nottage as being a key contributor to the gun trigger being pulled by the murderer as he slaughters his targeted poor innocent victim.

BJ stands guilty as charged .............. dereliction of public (safety) duty to the citizens of The Bahamas

Nice One, Mr. Russell!

**............. BJ Nottage had ALL the answers when Tommy T was security minister! ...............**

............ and to add insult to injury ........ the friggin lawless Dominicans are boldly challenging RBDF patrol boats!!!!!!!! .................. they have this government for a complete joke these days!!!!!!!

I have a few suggestions to reduce crime in NP. This is only my opinion. I am not an expert.

1) Reducing crime on the island should be priority #1. Focus on prevention, small rewards leading to arrest, and anonymous reporting should be publicized and campaigned.

2) Conduct undercover sting operations…especially in high crime locations and during the time period that many violent crimes take place…for example during the weekends / 9pm – 2am.

3) Focus on solving poverty and gun control on the island.

4) Use social media and DNA evidence as tools.

5) Don't be scared of the criminals...enter their territory. Make your presence known.

Prime example of the Government doing there jobs when it comes to the bahamain ppl......they deserve Government of the century. When the people need us what do we do.......... how do we think............ after 4 years in power we do.........for the people cause we always put the people first :)

While murders may be reduced by as much as 30 this year, the problem is that the 'victims' of murder are more and more becoming unsuspecting citizens rather than 'gang members', 'drug dealers involved in turft war', 'persons (criminals ) known to the police, 'victims of domestic violence' or 'persons who had a dispute and found no conflict resolution.' Persons getting killed are mostly unknown to their assailant, they are victims of robbery, they were going their everyday routine of 'living' no ankle bracelet, no criminal record, no drug dealing, but still a murder victim. So even though the numbers may be down, the threat of murder to the average citizen, especially in New providence and Grand Bahama had increased

And when close to $500 million has gone missing or unaccounted for (ok even more) under this Christie led PLP government, who is to say Bahamians must be or even try to be law abiding citizens????!!!

Comrades if the foreign governments possess the capability to hack into the USA government's data, the major banks and the credit card companies computers, you gotta know it's hacking child play for them to also target their ways into The Bahamaland government's data bases - not to mention the data belonging to the two main political parties.
These foreign governments loves be collecting lots juicy data on elected and non elected government officials...and they know when and how to use it to their advantages.
They compile enough data for their own Wikileaks index cards.

Crime will be until the end of time. However ' the best way to "reduce" crime is to give people jobs. A harder way is to increase moral responsibility (almost impossible in this economy). Another addition is to diversify the economy out of New Providence. Another almost impossible way is to reeducate Bahamians away from the gun culture. Also, cut out dramatically the use of hypocrisy by our political, religious and civil leaders. All of which are almost impossible to do. So, until any of them are done - the truth is that violence is the old and new normal. Let's face the truth - we are in a sad state of affairs and we are all guilty of the status quo! Unless you want to blame it on the water.

Ivan Cleare, a minister at New Bethlehem Baptist Church on Independence Drive, was shot and killed early Sunday morning while using a Scotiabank automated teller machine (ATM) at Wulff Road and Jerome Avenue. Mr Cleare’s lifeless body was discovered shortly after 8am when police responded to a tip they received. Have a look at [Rajasthan tour packages][1] which you will certainly like.
