‘Far from the truth’ that I like women & not men- Deputy CoP Vanterpool
Ms Vanterpool, who made the revelations in a candid conversation during the Sunday, May 19, 2024, edition of Real Talk with Karia J. Christopher, added that the accusations caused her to write six resignation letters.
“I went through all the name-calling down to this very day. I like women, I don't like men… far away from the truth,” she added.
DCP Vanterpool said being a woman in the force has resulted in her facing an enormous amount of difficulties as well as personal challenges, even as she has big dreams of becoming the first Commissioner of Police.
She shared details of being oppressed as a female voice in the force before gaining training in the UK. “My desire was only to help women, because of what I went through. I was trying to spare them from going down the same path,” she added.
Family against her joining RVIPF
Ms Vanterpool shared that her family never wanted her to be in the force, but she had a warning from her brother she would never forget. “He said sis, I could not stop you from coming in here, but I want you to make your brother one promise… don't let none of these men in here get between your legs,” she shared.
“I looked at my brother and I didn't say a word because I was wondering why he was saying that, but I will tell you…. As I went through my journey, I recognised why my brother made that statement to me.”
Ms Vanterpool said for females in the force, her mission has been to take women under her wings and to tell them that they are more than just a sexual tool.
“You have values, you have standards, keep your head above the waters. Let us work together as a team. So that's all I've been doing since I joined the force, speaking with the females, but the labels that I got were not easy,” she said, adding that it won’t stop her.
Ms Vanterpool said she remains confident, in God. “I know where God brought me from, so that is why I can speak so openly about it."

Beloved officer Vanterpool just continue to keep your head and your ethics high and impeccable as you've always done and ignore the naysayers. You know, jealousy is like a canker infection of the mouth - underneath all of the yak yak is nothing but hot air and self doubt.
Just continue to power foward....
All day long they sit in the Canteen and discuss BVIslanders. I hope Jackie will be able to make a difference.
I guess it's a slow news week in the BVI
Can't the BVI find whole and normal for the handling of the public affairs?

Officer?

BVI would be comedy central but peoples lives are at stake in this nonsensical and pathetic functioning Governance.
