....computers...nurses...equipment...need funding
Actually any govt given unexpected forced expenditures would have to divert monies to meet the more critical demads for good governance.

Sorry Minister, it is not only the security mechanisms of da facility....any persons challenged bored wid nothing to do ....will find another way.
What is needed is find more educational ways of stimulating dere minds to put them on a rewarding rehabiliting path....move dere brains an minds on a different path. And fire the guard personnel an their bosses because if these kids were that inclined the public vould have been a risk. Teach the kids and reward them to build a solar car an stuff....design a hurricane proof house....

They needs to use some technology been around for decades like sirveillance cameras,, catching fares being solicited money exchanging hands persons going into plames stuff, also use some decades old crime fighting techniques like undercover work where police poses as passangers, they can also wait at the disembarking airport,,, repeat procedure...3 to 4 times a day....inpoumding an aircraft on the ground and finding out records are not in order to lay charges...????....yep I think I see the problem..there.......we needs foreign trained guys who can run fast enough to stop the pilot jumping in his aircraft and taxi ing .down the runway...!!!

BEC to whatever name BPL.....should have left out the use of the letter B for Bahamas...as the word Bahamas should only be attached to superior qualities representative of a nation where all must strive for the highest standards of excellemce .!!!!.....just as there is rightful indignation expressed over misuse, depicting part of the Coat of Arms....so should the authorities condemn the usage of our name we use with pride and dignity being affixed to a product that puts it in any negative light.

Da Minister needs to look at a CNN article titled "Drones driven by AI will ttack illegal fishing in African waters" by Katy Scott
There is a company called ATLAN Space which is using this. And there are numbrs of uses of drones in Africa to carry medical supplies to inpenetrsble areas, sowing plants, other.

A large part of dis stagnation would seem to lie in the lack of visionairies....new views...new blood...new does not necessarily mean young but old too whose ideas needs to be tried...many old some letter writers been around and have wisdom to know the better routes....need to use think tanks...instead of the same group of persons no matter which side....ironic the same thinkers putting words in da mouts of whosoever new Minister comes along...people related....connected....been in the systen so long that they marry up each other chillren...god children...forming a 'nomenklatura'....everybody comfortanle in the old systen that requires little.....same ol same ol...
Needed are persons willjng to seek new blood...new views....all of dis cost little or no money....stop flogging the few hotel business...create new vistas...tings for visitors...people want more to do am see an learn...history....culture...dese young tourist chillren just dont seem interested ...in things those of the visitors of the last century did...dey wants more..different....new...stuff...
Look outside of Freeport ...Advrrtize old US GB missile base wid old airstrip to investors with plans...gpvt can offer incentives...stop beating the same old tired ideas for frvelopment....the world has changed....an seems to hav left many stuck in da last century

Some tings shoudda have been basic in this century
1. Crime charts patterns showing criminal activity which to the simpletons d grade people like yours truly would seem to indicate months likes August an others would show more criminal activity....cyclical periods, trends patterns developments are used by most bankers govt to proactively plan preppare execute grab opportunities
2. Given that there are some main roads like Bay St Camera surveillamce systems should be in place to quickly locate criminals.
3.This business of constamtly buying polkce cars, an more police cars....an police cars an cars...an more police recruits an more police recruits. .being the main play in dealing with criminals costing millions of taxpayers scarce dollars.....needs to ne replaced in large part by surbeillance camera systems...
4. Deterramce factor of criminal activity with camera systems that works and used would seem to be preferable .than having a police car to drive like crazy running after criminals.
5. Synergies, efficiencies gained from camera systems.like when the camera operators see suspicious activity....cars can be dispatched directly using best routes and cut off points to be stationed......cameras can be used to ticket red light jumpers....spot accident .....blockages....prioritize areas of comcern.....watch the jitneys running up on the pavement to get past traffic...go through gas station to bypass traffic lights....go off assigned routes.....stop the male jitney drivers...gossipping two jitneys next to each other blocking cars from passong....cameras can be used to spot and alert police to take action......one $50,000 ? Car can buy plenty cameras.....an cut down the use of say 10 police cars,....gas....mechanical repairs...car parts...an 20..? New police recruits riding round with pipin cold air conditioning....

Just google skimming and scanning..?.?and as it relates to scimming......involvrs a device to be used embedded on the ATM machine.......the greatest concern seems ..should be the inability for bank sirveillamce cameras ..part of the article on scimming.
Looks like whether it is an immediate holdup of customer at the ATM machine posing life threatening situation.....or ...suspicious persons tampering wid da ATM machine......Forcing pore people to leave going to da teller ...and safe personal banking at teller with the Security Guard nearby......and to use the ATM machine where deys can be attacked is not good...they wrong for that.......whatever happen to dat senior bank fella who been talking bout using atm machine an technology stuff ....couple months ago......he say someting then..he be da one to say something now.....
