Didnt the Police themselves recently like 2 weeks ago have a public advisory to women ....dressing scantily when going to Junkanoo and a local religeous leader also publictly supported the Police which caused an enormous bruhaha???
The distance between the Police advisory location Junkanoo and FishFry is walking distance plus with Junkanoo there is also a Central Police station just by East St.
Police should know there are wutless fellows in the area cause even Bahamians can tell them dat.
Suggest some police sting operations with police men and women to blend in the tourist crowds to get to the root of the problem.

This routine of going into the VATcookie jar for funds to support failed or failing businesses must stop and persons held accountable.

Prudent Lending is one of the simpliest things in that you must ensure that you get repaid.

Only having 28.4% working and 71.6% impaired needs to have the police and forensic auditors take over the bank keys and see why banking policies have gone so wrong and whether policies created by bankers, accountants, lawyers can be so wrong resulting in massive impairment/losses to the taxpayers.

If policies were not followed and loans given out when banking policies did not support it then the question of fraud arises and fraud does not have a statute of limitations so let the investigations begin and who committed it and who was complicit in knowing it happened and who may hzve approved it.
In proper banking there are checks and balances to ensure proper banking.

For physically hurting a police in line of duty in a tourist area he should be get 50 years hard labour.
An example must be set to deter others and eliminate extra man hours and police pay entailed in having other police officers removed from other areas to render assistance and arrest culprit.
Police officers must not be assaulted in public areas with tourists as this sends the wrong message to our tourist business.

Fishfry was not originally a place for fine michellin rated dining five star dining with knife an fork. Many go there to eat conch salad wid spoon and eat conch fritters wid yer hand, an some people eating da fish head and people talking loudly and some marauding thugs well dey ack fool cause dey cant drink an some aint hav broughtupsy.
Good luck wid the major attitude change but the place does seem to be in need of more security. And the best partof da fish is still da fish head.

good one. love it. go to the head of the class.

Fully agree Dawes. It appears that many things are reported with credible information to the US authorities to warrant such a warning to their citizens.
It is time that local investigation results are made public from these long outstanding conplaints plus immediate visible security and proof that counter measures are effected to protect our golden goose at Fishffy.
Our legal punishments for accused and convicted offenders causing harm to our tourist should also be increased.
Nice try Mr. DeAguiler at saying there is a
PoliceStation on site at Fishfry.
Its obvious that many things are not reported locally.

Google bahamas murder rate and there are a number of articles mid 2017 Bahamas has the 11 th highest murder rate in the world. EVEN Dr.Sands had also surprisingly pointed out that the leading cause of death is by bullet, not heart attacks or doabetes.

While the nomenklatura would say we are doing better reality is that Fishfry which a number of Bahamians thought was safe is now a place where tourists are now advised to avoid.
Reality is both sides think we have a problem.

The Port Lucaya businesses need to market their businesses better so that the tourists will choose to walk across the street and patrpnize their businesses as many will do if the conditions are right.

The hotel investor has obviously calculated the returns and potential to get the best fpr their shareholders money and will invest in various countries.

Common sense is that the hotels were there first

Agree! Start with human capital. Lets have officiers who appear to truly want to be police than just simply govt workers.
Lets have police who will show up ptomptly when the neighbour is playing what sounds like music vibrating your walls past 10 at night, police who can show up at the accident scene within 15 minutes from the nearest police station, police who answer the phone after two rings, police who dont keep you holding while you on your cell phone, police who dont seem to only patrol the main well lit roads instead of all the lil juk juk corners, police who only do public walk about with all da people taking pictires an expect you gan be fool to be seen talking to them about any bad boys, police who needs to be walking through all dem track road the bsd boys use cause dey aint want to be seen walking on the main road, police who driving police cars wid de windows screw down, police who checking out all dem abandoned buildings like the old abandoned Citi lodge motel on Okra Hill, police who are in plane site patrolling Bay St from fFish Fry to Montagu, police who stopping all the tinted window cars, police who don make you feel like you the crimjnal rather than the victim, .......actually many police do a wonderful job and deserve commendation medals to wear showing their pride and awards year round for fine work and professionalism rather than to wait 2 weeks before election expecting promotion an pay increase. Having awards, commendation badges, etc on their chest should uplift that uniform, morale etc Lets have some award winning police have dey picture monthly in the papers an what they done fer it.

....you're too kind.
