RVIPF takes up post @ BVIPA in Port Purcell
According to reports reaching our newsroom, the RVIPF took up its post at the British Virgin Islands Ports Authority (BVIPA) headquarters in Port Purcell on July 1, 2022.
RVIPF officers stationed @ Port Purcell
The officers are to be stationed at the Ports security checkpoint.
Our newsroom was also informed by sources at the BVIPA that police officers will also be stationed at the ports of entry in Road Town and Beef Island.
The RVIPF, via its Media Liaison Diane L. Drayton, confirmed that the officers have been stationed at Port Purcell.
According to the ‘Framework for Implementation of the Recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry Report and Other Reforms’, Cabinet approved joint responsibility between the relevant government agencies and the RVIPF for security of all ports, including airports, under the command of the Force, until security concerns are effectively addressed and new constitutional and legal arrangements have been considered.
Hypocrisy & irony
Recommendation B40 of the CoI Report states that the Governor orders an investigation into corruption within HM Customs by the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force.
Many have been left baffled as to why the CoI Commissioner has ordered an investigation into corruption into HM Customs and not the RVIPF, which has been rocked by corruption and scandals under UK national, Commissioner Mark Collins.
Many have been wondering if it was payback for HM Customs exposing the RVIPF for lying to the public about police officers using government vessels for leisure activities.

Stop the ignorance and racism. You are the ones making the territory look bad.
It is about time. They need to send more up the airport
This is just another joke on the people of the BVI. Who is Government Official #1 and Who is Government Official #2 and Who is Government Official #3? Yeah, and the rest of them? Hmmmm? Why they think the people of the BVI stupid?
Pleading on this BVILOVE , we speak about daily.
God Bless.

ting 2 tell the king !!!!
Trying to catch them red handed…must be a setup…Don’t trust these men….The Great White Hope…
Obviously I believe there is a sharing of intelligence etc mechanisms already in place. If the procedures are not working then fix them. If this was a problem in the UK this wouldn't have been the response surely not. I think this move pushed us backwards and I don't think this will stop here expect more to come.
Irrespective of the alleged malpractice at the ports, It doesn't require police assets at the port since they claimed they are already understaffed and unable to adequately police the islands effectively. There are other meaningful ways to deal with port security if they have evidence otherwise. But in my opinion this is a bigger agenda.
What happen to the sniff dogs
Some years back the trainer of the dogs were the biggest offenders in the third pillar what a life … BVI
Around the same time 19 Feb 2021 — LONDON, Feb 19 (Reuters) – British police have seized over 2 tonnes of cocaine in one of the country's largest ever drug busts .
At least the commissioner getting rid of the corrupt cops.
Would you care to explain?
What I would suggest is that these officers wear body cams… While they are on the job.. And someone trusted needs to review their cameras.. Idk if there are live cameras that someone in a remote area can monitor but they need to look into that.. Maybe then the public will be pleased a bit more?…
Ohh and the prison! idk if there are cameras in corridors and common spaces but there needs to be cameras.. They need to show how some of these things are getting into rooms like tvs????…. Anyhow.. Commissioner body cams are the way to go.
And what about those police officers who are involved in drug smuggling, drug bust scandals and other
criminal offences.
I hope someone will be watching those police officers because many of them are involved in criminal activities especially those from other countries.
