Is Daniel Pruce a rogue Governor? Overrides decision of PSC & NSC
Word reaching our newsroom from senior sources within the Governor’s Office familiar with this matter is that the Police Service Commission (PSC) has rejected the renewal of a contract for the handpicked Assistant Commissioner of Police UK National Pam Trevillion. This decision was endorsed by the National Security Council (NSC), as there are many current senior police officers more qualified than Ms Trevillion and can do the job.
My way or the highway- Governor Pruce
However, Governor Daniel Pruce has come to her rescue and overridden both the PSC and the NSC and granted Ms Trevillion a six-month extension on her contract. It is unclear what special skills she has brought to the force as many lower-ranking officers have alleged she has caused a lot of confusion in the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force and she has clashed with many officers as they alleged “she doesn't know how to speak to people”.
It is also reported that because none of the UK Nationals who applied for the CoP's post did not make the cut to replace the controversial and embattled CoP Mark Collins, Governor Pruce has halted the recruitment process and demanded that all who applied must re-apply again.
Many have claimed this is an attempt to ensure many qualified locals do not get the post including Acting Commissioner Ms Jacqueline E. Vanterpool.
Under investigation?
Meanwhile, a Deputy Commissioner of Police is under investigation over what they claimed to be a lack of communication during a police drill and simulation exercise at Fish Bay on Tortola. It is alleged that the Deputy in question did not communicate to the relevant senior officers about the exercise and the police tactical unit that carries firearms went to the scene with guns believing it to be a real situation.
While the lack of communication is serious and could have caused lives, others see it as an attempt to keep out that Deputy Commissioner, who has applied for the CoP post, from being seriously considered.
Residents continue to be concerned about law and order in the British Overseas Territory of the Virgin Islands under CoP Collins and have accused him of having a target list aided by governors and UK police officers of residents who are outspoken and have challenged police injustice, brutality and double standards for arresting and charging persons often with bogus allegations in an attempt to damage their reputation and integrity.
Are you on the target list?
They have gone after current elected officials, heads of departments, other civil servants, police officers and even private citizens, claiming they are corrupt. Mr Collins himself faced some 55 allegations of corruption and violations of rights from his own police officers and is expected to demit office on December 1, 2024.
When the Governor's Office was contacted for comment on November 18, 2024, we were told the Governor was out of the territory and his response could be delayed.

Most of us verry happy Mr Collins clean up the place
Look the wh**** out blogging hard. Things hard in the UK so *** scared to go back home.
Humans are not perfect creatures. Why demands of others that which you are not hypocrite?
Now that approximately two weeks of heavy rain showers have felled on the BVI in this November Month, or regular daily traffic roads are further ragged, gagged and dugged, plus additional potholes BVI wide. Criticize that instead.
DC Vanterpool is a great person and a dedicated law enforcement officer.
The Gov is within his rights to make the decision, upon receipt of advice. He's done so. Let's let everybody get back to work.
We need a strong, qualified and capable Commissioner who is full of integrity. I don't care what passport they carry - we have problems we need leadership to solve (from gangs to financial crime).
You need to ask, why is Trevillion so determined to stay here. Why doesn't she want to return to her home country.
She is so qualified but yet going to training courses that should be reserved for those that now need the training but then would say they donate qualified persons to do a certain job so they need to bring another officer from the UK. And the beat goes on....
How does she expect to manage grown men and women but every time something doesn't go her way, she is crying like a child and ready to throw a tantrum.
And of course the governor is there for her to run to because as we all know they look out for each other.
And the public really needs to keep a close eye on this governor. People don't have a clue of all that's going on.
By no apologizing the UK institution & thus the non-elected governor god or bad man he may be, is looking very fishy as the perpetrators of those centuries of crimes against humanity should surely come to an apology history considered. Instead they continue with an arrogant colonial behavior pattern.
We are the villains when its pointed out... wait they havent apologized and want to dictate? Thus we are still under racist oppression.
Colonialism has always been about exclusion, racial superiority, control, power, might is right/white is right, etc.,The colonialists have always treated natives/locals as the other, less than, etc. They cast themselves as the upper class and the less than locals/ natives , especially blacks as the underclass. The locals/natives of the conquered and colonized lands, lands and labour were exploited and expropriated through dehumanization , abuse, etc.
The UK-appointed governor is a whale in small pond, wielding unilateral power. The UK is the administering power for the VI tasked by the UN in 1946 with responsibility for guiding towards a full measure of self-governance. The VI is supposed to have local self-governance, but that is in name only; it is a mirage. The UK wields unilateral power with any devolve powers, ie, constitution, etc can be easily reversed. For example, the VI constitution is currently suspended albeit being held in abeyance. All UK-appointed governors are despatched on a mission with specific orders to control the subjects. Some are brash and others are snakes in the grass. Locals play a key control in helping governors accomplish his/her ( well there has never been a woman or minority UK rep) mission, through their disunity, division , appeasement,etc.Guv Pruce handling of CoP recruitment shows his total disrespect for the VI and its people, demonstrating his unilateral power, cavalier attitude, ie, I put my thumb on the scale so what, what can you do about it???? The subjects are beneath him so he didn’t have an obligation to tell them why he suspended the CoP recruitment, for supposedly there were no qualified UK nationals on the short list and I force feed the process to ensure applicants are on the short list. The VI and other OTs must understand that they are territories which belong to the UK but they are not part of the UK; they are subjects . The UK tells subjects what the deal is , not ask them.
Call it what it is ... Daniel Pruce us a wicked disciple of Lucifer. B***h now.
