We need to see more of new CoP - Radio show caller
Hosted by Douglas Wheatley and broadcast on ZBVI 780 AM, last night's show saw a number of calls from concerned members of the public on various issues.
However, this particular caller was peeved that there were two robberies of supermarkets within weeks of each other.
He noted that while the Commissioner of Police just came to the territory, he is the one in charge and therefore must be held accountable.
“The Commissioner of Police...he just came...and I respect that. But the point is that he is in charge now. We can have a common sense approach to the crime that is going on in this country but I am not seeing that being done,” the man said.
He expressed dismay that an almost similar crime in terms of modus operandi took place within weeks of each other.
On April 18, 2016 One Mart in Purcell Estate was robbed, during which shots were fired and cash taken, in almost the same manner as the Riteway Food Market robbery on Monday evening, June 13, 2016.
“How could you have one place robbed some weeks ago and a few weeks after that another place robbed of the same thing?” asked the caller.
He said that it is incumbent on the police to come up with a strategy that will work in order to seriously combat crime.
He said that as in the two cited cases and many others, by the time the Police arrive on the scene the suspects would have already fled and persons who might have witnessed anything will be afraid to talk.
The livid caller suggested that police presence be heightened in such areas as to prevent such incidents. He said police officers can blend in using unmarked vehicles.
“What is happening? I am not impressed with the experience of this gentleman. I think we need to see more of him and all this experience that he said he comes with,” he said.

Here we go with the blame game: there are person or persons from this territory that fully well know who have committed those crimes as well as the other unsolved crimes in this place but saying nothing.. How you expect this white boy to fix your problems(just asking).....this is your country; when the commissioner's contract expires he is off to his private villa in Florida but we have to stay here, lets try to solve our own social affairs ...the talk show host just prating the same thing over and over and what is the result(nothing).....talk that
maybe put on a photo exhibit.
