Asst CoP of RVIPF Pam Trevillion appointed Acting CoP in Montserrat
Ms Trevillion is said to be on secondment to the RMPS from the RVIPF, to offer support to Montserrat and as part of her "own development".
According to a press release from the Government of Montserrat, Her Excellency The Governor, Mrs Sarah Tucker, swore in Acting Commissioner Trevillion on Wednesday, January 3, 2024.
Ms Trevillion will reportedly hold the Leadership on behalf of Police Commissioner Robin Hall whilst he attends meetings in the UK.
Governor Tucker thanks VI for its support!
Governor Tucker said, “This support from our OT family in the BVI, is a positive demonstration of the collective commitment to build capacity and capability across the region and share our expertise where we can.
“We have previously had support from Cayman and Bermuda in Policing and St Helena in Health, and I hope that over the coming year we will see a continued increase in exchanges and support across the Overseas Territories, both for Montserrat and by Montserrat.”
Trevillion’s controversial appointment in RVIPF
Critics had viewed it as a backward step in the RVIPF when Trevillion was sworn in as the new Assistant Commissioner of Police on November 23, 2022.
Critics of the appointment have stated there was no need to import an Assistant Commissioner of Police from the UK when there are many local Senior Inspectors who are qualified to carry out the post.
Many had also seen the hiring of Trevillion as a clever way for the Police Commissioner, Mr Mark Collins, to run the force, with his Assistant Commissioner, while bypassing the local Deputy Commissioners of Police St Clair Amory and Jacqueline E. Vanterpool.
Ms Trevillion reported directly to the Commissioner of Police, also a UK national.

The wheels of the monster colonialism cabal mill is turning; it turns slowly but tactically and strategically. There was no one in the Montserrat Police force who could serve as Acting CoP? The plan here is clear Deputy Trevillion is being groomed, punching her ticket for CoP in one of the OTs. Clearly who is earns her advantage. Virgin Islanders continue to interestingly and disadvantagly divide and scatter, making them as a group weaker and more vulnerable, while others coalesce as group(s) and leap frog over them, leaving wondering what the @#$%^& happened. Here is a news flash. Disunity, appeasement, etc., is what is happening. Virgin Islanders are afficted tge Stockhom Syndrome, behaving appeasers like Neville Chamberlain, and betrayal as Benedict Arnold. Continue behaving the way you are. Harry say would hear.

Of course it’s the commissioner will hail from the UK, and sad to say, there is nothing the people of Tortola can do about it. The premier and government minister need to wake up and come together.
It is about time that we give our full support for our fellow black brothers and sisters in their pursuit to higher levels of accomplishments. Willy Lynch, the white slave master from Virgina had given a prescription to the slave masers in the Caribbean, how they should control the slaves and get them to be submissive to their owners. By dividing and rule they were able to prevent uprising on the plantations.
The Premier need to stop being silent, scared a yes man and fight for his country. Then the people will support him in the fight, march, protest and let their voices be heard. Only then will change come.
