Crime going up under CoP Collins?
Under the UK Commissioner of Police Mark Collins, crimes in all categories have skyrocketed despite local taxpayers being burdened with paying some close to 30 UK Police Officers, stationed in the Virgin Islands.
The UK police officers were brought into the Territory because Commissioner Collins claimed the local police officers do not have the skills to fight crime.
However, rather than solving the skyrocketing crime rate, the UK officers are allegedly being used as part of a plot and target list to go after locals with bogus arrests and charges.
Many of those targeted include residents who speak out against injustices in the police force, the legal system and the right of Virgin Islanders to be free from colonialism.

The UK and USA makes it relatively cumbersome and difficult for them to enter and deports them by the thousands .
Not a month goes by that they are not kicked out and sent like cargo back to their countries.
Fathers need to be responsible, but so do mothers. Girls need to finish their education and get married before they have children. Single mothers are a financial burden and the source of many of these unruly kids.
memories.

2) if you all invested in the youth sports and arts you would have way less getting tied up into drugs and ridiculousness.
Sorry we off island
Crime is out of control
For this some place
.
If porn was made illegal BET people will kill over it and sex trafficking will increase!
Guns, black markets, gangs and prohibition go together because when you can not sue or go to the police, the only way to settle the score is violence. Stop the knee jerk reactions and think about the consequences of our actions.
When alcohol was made illegal alcapone rose and violent crime spun out onto the streets. We repeat the same nonsense and call for more drug squads.
Now a days alcohol is legal and still very harmful but at least people don't kill over it, but they do kill while under it! They dont kill the bartender for a bad drink or a mixed up tab.
dude like he build tough
