Top CoP Mark Collins optimistic for 2024 despite petition against him
The Commissioner in his New Year’s 2024 Message said he remains grateful for the privilege to serve the VI community and that the past year has been one of both challenges and triumphs.
VI community spirit a beacon of strength - Mr Collins
“In the face of various obstacles, your commitment to community and unity has been a beacon of strength. As we embark on the journey that is 2024, I want to reaffirm the RVIPF’s unwavering commitment to your safety and well-being,” he added.
“Our dedicated officers are fully devoted to upholding the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and service. Together, we will continue to work tirelessly to create an environment where every resident feels secure and protected.”
Further, the Commissioner added that in the pursuit of public safety, he recognises the importance of collaboration between law enforcement and the community and that vigilance, cooperation, and trust from the public are invaluable assets that enhance our ability to address challenges effectively.
“We encourage you to engage with your local law enforcement officers, participate in community programs, and share information that can contribute to a safer and more secure Virgin Islands. 2024 holds the promise of new opportunities and challenges, and the RVIPF is prepared to face them head-on.”
Commissioner facing 55 allegations
In early December, a petition was signed by some 30 persons in the Virgin Islands, including officers in the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF), calling for the removal of the Commissioner of Police from office, with the justification being 55 damning allegations made against him.
It remains unclear if any investigations have been launched into the allegations or the current status of the petition.
Meanwhile, Mr Collins said that as the force continues to evolve its strategies and foster partnerships that strengthen the fabric of the community, a commitment to accountability remains steadfast, and the force will keep the people informed about its initiatives and progress throughout the year.
“In closing, I want to express my sincere gratitude for the continued trust and support of this territory. Together, we can make 2024 a year of prosperity, security, and unity. Wishing you a Happy New Year filled with peace, joy, and safety,” Mr Collins added.

The white people and Asians and Middle Eastern people tend not to be in jail because they are not the ones dealing drugs and shooting each other.
He could lie to the public about the out post police stations not being closed like the public saw & reported without any penalty.
He could cover up using the police boats to transport in and out the BVI non police officers or officials of the BVI.
He could could cover up for his kind island hoping using the police boats while getting drunk.
He could have 55, allegations against him but get away with all without an independent investigation just by talking and clearing himself while others are not afforded the same luxury.
He has challenges with the truth but always gets away with it with no repercussions.
He has divided the police force worse than ever and is allowed to do so.
He is using his powers to instill fear in the people of the BVI rather than ensuring their safety.
He goes after anyone who challenges his rule and those person's have no recourse.
The list of concerns about this man is long. He needs to be put on administrative leave right away and an independent investigation be done on him and his performance or lack thereof.
Because they are crooks. And the law is coming for them.
Thats why they don't like him.
Rubber &*^%k, the Trojan horse at it again. Be vigilant folks, these folks can never be trusted. He is a plant pretending to be down with the common man. Be vigilant. Insanity is believing the same people who fooling us over and over, and over again… Columbus got lost and fool off the Arawaks and Caribs. What happened to them. The Arab, Moors, European,,etc traders fooled off the African tribal leaders. Millions of Africans ended up across the Atlantic as slaves. Slave masters fooled off slaves and more importantly sexually abused, raped, separated and sold off their families (not seeing them again), deliberately keep uneducated/illiterate, fooling them about being on a civilizing mission. Colonialism and colonialist fooled the slaves and their descendants and continues to fool us. When will be learn, shed the training wheels,,develop out self-empowerment, unite,,partake in group effort….etc..
All you guys BRAIN WASH
