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).
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.
