Great Achievements! Top CoP Sings Praise To RVIPF For Work In 2021

Members of the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) came in for high praise from Commissioner of Police, Mark Collins, for their work in 2021.
In an email sent to the RVIPF at the end of 2021 and shared with the public via a press release, COP Collins said the collective work has resulted in a decline in reported crimes and a high detection rate.

“We have arrested and charged persons in connection with five of the nine murders which occurred over the last two years. In fact, a total of 20 suspects were charged with murder, attempted murder, illegal possession of a firearm, robbery and other related offences,” the press release said.

It continued: “Additionally, we confiscated over two tonnes of cocaine, 30 firearms, 1,650 rounds of ammunition, hundreds of thousands of dollars believed to be generated from proceeds of criminal conduct, along with a quantity of counterfeit notes, well-over 150 motorbikes, uprooted marijuana fields, and recaptured an escaped prisoner who was wanted locally and overseas in connection with several serious offences. This can only be remitted to exceptional and excellent work by all concerned.”

In the meantime, the Commissioner said while a number of contributing factors like retirements, resignations, interdictions and the COVID-19 affected the RVIPF’s manpower, “officers and civilian staff collectively pulled together, set new records and make the Territory safer.”

“I am quite aware that none of this has happened by chance but rather as a direct result of hard work, commitment, and dedication. With that said, I want to express my heartfelt thanks to each and everyone one of you. Your contribution, no matter the quantity, has acutely positioned us to be seen as an organisation which is making a positive impact and a difference in the BVI,” he added.
