“While we have made progress, our efforts will not stop here. We continue to rely on community cooperation to strengthen our crime-fighting initiatives.

      Look at your hand carefully. There are at least three fingers pointing backward. Quit condemning yourself

    As a territory we need to come up with a proper youth policy; i.e. a plan that will provide opportunities for all youths, early intervention for at risk youths, advocacy and remediation for those that have fallen through the cracks. We talk a lot about saving our youths but we don’t act on it.
