Police Chief Daniel Carbon has said a recent increase in crime in Dominica is posing a challenge to the police because criminal activities are “bold and brazen.”
Addressing an end of year briefing of the Ministry of Justice, Immigration and National Security at the Financial Centre conference room on Wednesday, Carbon described the crimes as ‘complex.’
“The crimes are complex, the criminals seem to be very conscious of what they are doing, they seem also to be posing a challenge to the police and some of the criminal activities are very bold and brazen,” he remarked.
However, Carbon ensured the nation that the police force will do all it can to lawfully prevent criminal activities from happening and appealed to the public for assistance.
“As a people that we have a right to be safe and secure and demand to be safe and secure,” he stated. “We as a people, every citizen of this country, and even visitors have a responsibility because the police force alone cannot prevent crimes from happening…”
He said the public should work in partnership with the police.
“We need your assistance.” Carbon stated. “I can say that there is no crime committed here that somebody in this country does not know about it. Even before it happens, during the planning stage, when it is about to happen or it has happened, there must be a citizen in this country who has the intelligence to know these things.”
He described the public as “the eyes and ears of the police force.”
“You are a valuable resource, you have a lot of information and intelligence and I plead with the public to work with us,” he said.
Carbon gave the public his word that information and intelligence will be treated with confidentiality.
He also warned that one knows when, where and whom criminals will strike next.
“It could be your brother, it could be your sister, it could be your mother, your daughter, your son,” he stated.
As part of it strategy to combat crime, he said the police force has initiated a robust patrol of both uniformed and plain clothes officers.
“We have been patrolling island-wide and I must say the police force have been working extremely hard,” Carbon stated. “Within the last few months following the passage of Tropical Storm Erika it has been a continuous work for us…we have been patrolling all our tourist sites.”
He had a strong warning to criminals.
“There are 99 days for the thief and one day for the watchman,” he said. “The criminals will take their chances but the police force will put itself in a state of readiness and we are on high alert.”
Recently there has been a spate of criminal activities in Dominica, which include a break-in at the Office of Director of Public Prosecution, a robbery at gunpoint of the Rubis gas station in Castle Comfort, a burglary at Green’s wholesale in Loubiere, the robbery of two Chinese nationals at gunpoint in Canefield, an assault on a senior citizen in Wesley, among others.
Mr Commissioner you are not honest with yourself and the ppl of Dominica and thats the reason why you are failing. Get rid of the square pegs that you have placed in the round holes in CID, DRUG SQUAD, SSU, TASK FORCE and all the other departments of the police force and allow those whom you dont like because they not carrying news to you but can do the work to do what they are being paid to do. plz let this be your new year resolution.stop victimizing the good , knowledgable and skillful police officers whom you dont like for no genuine reason. your wickedness is taking a toll on you and its obvious sir, just look at yourself in this pic and you will see the results of your wickedness. plz stop it, asknyourself a question, swallow your pride and move the good men around to where they belong.
Hello and good afternoon my people. Well am very disappointed in our Police Commissioner because he is telling our citizens that he don’t have any plans to fight those criminals when it’s his responsibility to come up with a plan. There are many of us who reside abroad who have experience in Law Enforcement and are willing to help but I don’t know of any program that the Government has to reach out to us. I would certainly like to used my twenty four years of Law Enforcement experience in NYC to help my country.
Carbon, like many of his ilk are stuck in a time warp. This is the most foolish statement that I’ve read in a long time. Officers need to be armed and confront violent criminals with the same level of violence that they disburse upon law abiding citizens. When thieves are caught robbing gas stations at gun-point, unload on these bastards. Start setting examples and they will think twice about robbing the innocent. More foot patrol is required. Gone are the days when officers sat in HQ, played dominoes and ate in the canteen. Officers need to be visible at all times.
Then sir if its a challenge for you ad your margie police then give me my gun license so i could protect myself and family.i will not sit by and watch those joker little boys come and do ham to my family. you all cannot do it them let me have my gun please
As Far as I see it Dominica needs a Defense Force.Dominica has well established individuals who are retired soldiers.They can use their expertise to enhance that Defense Force.The source of funding can be identify to spearhead the effort. The Defense Force can implement military and vocational training. The Defense and Police force have to work together.Their duty is to country and to maintain law and other.
That would be a foolish waste of money that would be better spent on beefing up the police force. Dominica needs to be well policed, it doesn’t need a military occupation. The two are completely different.
So who’s the liar? this story, or that one
bunch of jokers

smh… listening to the commissioner I get the impression that reading was not one of his hobbies. or not his favorite hobby.
The Officers must be placed around the financial institutions, and they must split up and walk in the quiet areas too not only the crowded areas. Just my two cents. harder punishments must be given to those bold and brazens.
carbon you have lost all respect of the public you will not win the war on crime in Dominica look at the way your police treated the innocent hard working people of Salisbury .
When you a hearing today from the Head of the the Police, 99 days for the thief and one day for the watchman, this shows the level of incompetence this man has. He can’t run the department that’s why crime is on the increase. Watch the man he is tied, the country need another chief to take control of the rise in criminal activities in the place.
I was in Dominica a week ago and apart from the policemen on the bikes, is only one police I saw patrolling the streets of Roseau in his gabardine . Am asking this DLP administration to repair this menace and get a replacement now or else it will be to late, get rid of this one he is to vindictive.
I wish the men & women well and greetings during the season. I can’t believe that’s a force I once work.
Mr. Commissioner gone are the days of “99 days for the theft and one day for the watch man” you must realize criminals are changing their game plan, law enforcement must be pro active always staying ahead of the bad guys. Dominica is much to small for the policemen not to know who the bad boys are. There should be constant surveillance on these guys, we as law abiding citizens should not be living in fear wondering who is next. The police needs to take this thing seriously . Thank yoù.
That’s because you’ll are not dealing with them bold, brazen and forcefully.
Even YESHUA ,THE MESSIAH , when HE returns to rule and reign on planet earth let it be made known that HE will be ruling with a rod of iron. Not just a rod but a rod of iron. That means no nonsense will be tolerated.
With that said, you’ll think it can be solve the way that you all chose too..then good luck to you all….
These days people have their own interpretation. Who is YESHUA?
Do you think Our Lord Jesus Christ will come to earth and remain here in this mess, as it is which humanity has created for themselves?
What we Christians know, when Our Lord Jesus Christ returns to earth, His Second Coming, it will be cleansed of evil people. We do not know when and if it will be in our lifetime.
He will not have to rule with an iron hand for the people who will be alive will have been cleansed.
As always, to this moment, we are told how to live in godliness for we know not the day or hour. It could occur suddenly.
The crime rate is climbing in Dominica it’s a serious issue for a country that depend on tourism, The police force should take action to reduce the crime rate.Now I’m thinking what I should do when I come home, Before I use to have fear when I’m overseas,Now I have fear when I am home.
Carbon that is the stupidest comment of the century!
There is no wonder why the criminals are always fifty jumps ahead of Dominica police. To justify your inability to combat the criminals, and solve existing crimes you coined this stupid excuse: “because criminal activities are bold and brazen?”
Man in a less backward country, you would be fired for such stupid analogy. The criminals are bold committing crimes in broad daylight because they know when they are caught the punishment boils down to a slap on their risks. Then again like in the case of Emanuel, who’s house was firebomb, even with the hard evidence the criminals are not prosecuted.
There are occasions when outside help is needed, rather than you, guys call the FBI, or British Scotland Yard to help; your foolish pride, and ambition causes you not to seek that help. Even when an FBI agent was brought in, and found DNA evidence that should be used to convict a criminal, some stupid Dominica lawyer, said DNA…
Even when an FBI agent was brought in, and found DNA evidence that should be used to convict a criminal, some stupid Dominica lawyer, said DNA evidence is not enough to convict that sort of evidence is not good! Hence, a man raped and killed a little girl, and walked free though his DNA was found on the child!
Man shut up, just shut up, stop talking nonsense, damn backward!
The police needs to be arm the crimina have better guns than the police times have change in Dominica so it’s time the cheif of police upgrade his police force with whatever the needs are to better aide there jobs. Is time to put effective policing in place before u loss control harsh punishments let then know u mean business . these harden brazen criminals that it’s zero tolerance.And the public must play there part if u see something illegal that’s not right say someting to the authority. Create an annoymous center connection.
It’s been 100 days for the criminals in Dominica
crime will always be a challenge for the police , and the criminals will always be bold and brazen when the police force have a chief who cannot hold his own.in this country there are criminals and CRIMINALS . there are criminals who are clothed with respectability and the police cannot touch those because he is their puppet on a string. there are some incidents well known to the public.before the police would say that they will do their duty without fear or favor but since the force began to have chiefs who are like puppets they are now serving their political masters with fear and favor
By the sweat of another mans brow we shall always eat bread the big loaves too
First, I am pleading with my fellow Dominicans to be brave and report any criminal activity. We are each others keeper. It can happen to you too. So don’t watch it happen to another person and keep silent.
No, a mostly incompetent, politicised, police force, is posing a challenge. What do we expect will happen when most crimes, petty or otherwise go unpunished. Wake me up when we are serious about something in this place. Those of us who have our wits about us need to exercise extreme vigilance in the evolving Dominica.
I have spoken to several police officers about the police force and every one said that Carbon’s management of the force can be described in one word “Utter Rubbish” Carrette saw what was coming.
Bear with me my people! these pity crimes are usually cause by people with no home training and do not go to any church services. When Satan was cast out from Heaven he ended up on planet Earth. whether we like it or not we got to live with them. Our new hospital! Roseau bridge to come in into town. Middle bridge to Goodwill only and the foo dog bridge to canfield and beyond. How exciting. The POLICE HAVE so much power, giving them a license gun is like making them Judge and Jury. At school if you don’t behave you get detention, at work if you don’t obey the rules you get the sack. In public if you misbehave the police get you
Merry Christmas to all those who took time to report the news and deceminate all the going on Locally, Rregionally, and internationally. Thanks D. N.O. crew for your services. Remember! Where there`s no vision the people will perish. Looking forward to the New Year and beyond mor than Ever. Blessings.
The robbery did not take place at Green’s Supermarket. In Loubiere but at Green’s Wholesale in Roseau. A robbery did take place at Green’s Supermarket in Loubiere but that was in 2010. The person who orchestrated the robbery was caught and while playing a supervised basketball game at the prison, he escaped. Most of the money was recovered by the police but they claim that it cannot be returned to the owner as it is to be used as evidence. Incidentally, there have been more than 7 adjournments since 2010.
I do not understand why they will not return the money. Why all these adjournments? It figures. They should have taken a picture of it and returned it to the owner. Hope the money is under lock and key and will eventually be returned to the owner.
Remember, a few years ago, two visitors, a husband and wife’s vehicle were robbed not far away from the airport while they were bathing? Some personal possessions and the lady’s wedding ring were stolen. The thieves were caught and some of the stolen items. Among them was her wedding ring. She was told that her ring could not be returned because of evidence. Eventually, they said they packaged it and sent it by FedEx. When the box arrived the ring was not included.
They should have taken pictures of the stolen items as the ring and given the ring to the lady. She never got it. Holding back money and the ring. How honest are they?
Carbon you are not up to the task.You should be ashamed of your performance so far as commissioner.You deserve a decorative F written in RED.That’s the colour you see.What about the numerous unsolved cases?The kidnapping?The lady burnt in her house?,,, ,and a myriad of other cases! SHAME ON YOU CARBON! Did you not plan to use DEADLY FORCE, on law abiding citizens exercising their constitutional rights? Why cant you use the deadly force on the criminals? A
Political police force is a deadly thing in any real country,and under you that’s what the CDPF has bbecome.
what about the criminals that stealing the country’s money?
Let the force be with them, do not violate their rights as human beings. But suck it to them, the ways and means act is gone, our Laws have no teeth, programmes are not put in place to rehabilitae our offenders, so when they have serve their time, they can return to society with some desired skills to earn a lawful living. Hard labor should be hard labor, the persons in charge should examine that aspect of this situation. We should conduct a symposum on crime fighting and marry it with a massive rehabilitation efforts to allow those who wants to live a life without commitiing crime. Utilize our many, many, formers police officers to conducts lectures at the prisons and the force they still have lots to offer, and if ask will be very happy to contribute. We all in this together. Dominica is ours to protect and we must do it in a wholesome manner by giving every body a chance to come forward and play their part. Yes i am passionate and smh. looking at you Sir tells the whole story. love.
Here is another joker, if u guys stop being the military wing of the labour party ,and do the job that your oath requires u to do ,things would be a lot better.the public has lost trust in u guys
Police : It is not your Damn Business where Labour PARTY get its money. No Law No Co nstitution can prevent me from ……. When wi tness came forward to the burning of mR eMANUAL\’S HOUSE THE POLICE SAID HE WAS NOT TELLING THR TRUTH. pOLICE OFFICERS YOU GUYS HAVE A HIGHER aUTHORITY TO ANSWER TO sKERRIT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COME TO YOUR RESCUE….
Merry Christmas to my fellow officers of the Common Wealth of Dominica Police Force which i am proud to say i was a part of and really enjoyed serving my people, and arresting persons who commited crimes against my people. Having said that let it be clear that the following are not to be construde as being against my commrades in our once feared Police Force. My friend and commrade Mr Commissioner, it is sad and disheartening to listen to you explaine the plight of criminal activities in our beautiful country. Surfice it to say without a doubt our police force needs a complete over haul, from top to bottom. our approach in the year2015 of combating crimes and dealing with criminal activities leaves much to be desired. We cannot approach crime fighting like we did in the 1960s, as we were always reminded the police has o be ten steps ahead of the bad guys and girls, imagine every tom dick and harry who feels like commiting crimes in Dominica does that with out fearing. contd….
the police or the consequences of their actions, That is sad. We have lost the public trust in the police, in my opinion partly due to our own behavaior as officers, and partly due to the perception let out there, that if Tom. Dick , AndHarry can do it and get away with it then its open season. Monkey see, Monkey Do.! What is good forthe goose is good for the gander, we should be very careful about the vibes we exhibit out there. Another aspect all common scence approach wich will not cost us a dime. old school policeing, namely, its long over due that we have to mix todays technolgies, with the old school ways of fiting crime and dealing with those who commit crimes, to wit, our C. I. D. should be made to disguise them selves in all ways such as posing as for instant, homeless persons, on the streets, posing as Dread locks and all, the list goes on, our young recruits should be trained along side our Eperienced officers to blend in high crime areas, theres more of us than them. suck i
More than a hundred years ago, Upton Sinclair wrote , ” it is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on him not understanding.” And, as long as long as people get the vibe of lawlessness and not following common rules from their leaders or get the message that they can get away with brazen acts of lawlessness they will continue with those acts. . How much of the limited resources of the State were wasted recently in trying to get an outside prosecutor to punish a sitting MP over a comment made in the heat of an election meeting for which he later later apologized whilst the person/s who firebombed a lawyers home in goodwill are allegedly still at large? The persons who broke into the DPP’s office still have not been caught.
A lot of talk and little action. Same ‘ol, same ‘ol. And then there is the court system which is another joke as well as Stock Farm.. No hope for this place until some people get real. When you have a PM that essentially doesn’t live here and have to put up with all of this what do you expect? I bet he’s going to the US for Xmas again. A new commissioner as well as a new govt. is in order to get anything accomplished. Only the criminals will have weapons. Nobody with a brain will invest in a country like this.
Have you considered offering rewards for information leading to arrest and conviction? Say $2000 for the gas station robbery?
What about Crime Stoppers? How much is offered?
Face The Facts, I have nothing against, even to this day I continue to read all of your comments, but I will not forget you accused me of plagiarism. I do believe you should know the subject before you ask a silly question! Note:
Crime Stoppers refers to a program that allows members of a community to provide anonymous information about criminal activity.
It is a volunteer organization of people and businesses who willingly give their money to pay people who have information about criminal activity of others.
An informant can provide crime solving assistance to the authorities without being directly involved in the investigation process. International level it is known as Crime Stoppers International. Crime Stopper programs are operated in many communities worldwide. For instance Crime Stoppers Australia and Crime Stoppers USA. I doubt crime stoppers in Dominica is on that level!
why u all d/a people stop blaming the pm
He appointed that chief when there were much better candidates out there
The public is crying out to work with you concerning the Emanuels case but you guys are so corrupt and dirty the case has gone cold.
Every day there are so many home invasions of the guest houses in Dubique area of Calibishie. Just in the last month there have been 6 that I’m aware of. Talk about bold and brazen. They break in at night when people are sleeping and walk off with the stolen money and electronics. The police are aware of it yet never once patrol the area in the evenings. Sadly so many don’t even bother to tell the police because they say the police are so inept and do nothing. They have the nice new police station and dont want to leave it. Pretty sad state of affairs. Desperate times deserve desperate measures. Dominica needs to get tough on crime or it will turn into a place that criminals know they can get away with their crimes.
Management of the guest houses should have their own security. They should be in a secured bullet proof enclosure.
ask him how come he refuses to issue firearms licenses to police officers in these times of bold and brazen criminals that go as far as robbing firebombing and stabbing (almost to death) of police officers. could that possibly be a contributing factor to the way in which the police force reacts to crimes now a days?? could the fact that he has so devastatingly and severely divided the police force and broken the spirits of senior and capable police officers be the real challenge facing the police force?? could it be that he places square pegs in round holes, news carriers while deserving officers get nothing, could that be the real reason that police officers don’t even care anymore??… hmmmm I wonder
Correction: *”promoting his spies and news carriers while deserving…..”
Some countries, if I recall one, Great Britain, its officers do not carry weapons.
Who really stated that police officers do not care anymore? Is it all in your mind?
Some people do not like to hear the truth. Police officers must also obey authority. They must care for they must comprehend that they serve the public.
Some of you have stated that people have the slave mentality. Ever considered it may be that same mentality of rebelliousness which brings out the worst in criminals?
The genesis of the problem is the PM not consulting with the leader of the opposition in selecting a capable chief of police.The notion of consulting involves more than mere telling him who you are going to appoint.This commissioner is clearly incompetent. There are so many unsolved murders in Dominica why are they not being solved.The Chief took it on himself to dismiss a criminal case,something that is unheard of in Dominica before. Policemen charged with murder not showing up to the court for a hearing.When a good citizen calls the police station with regards to a crime just committed and he is told I’ll put you on hold and the police don’t respond till he has to call back.The criteria for selecting recruits for the police service is contaminated by dirty politics.The police allow their own to run away from the country before being brought to court for grave crimes,and on,and on.It is clear that this is the wrong commissioner. You have lost the trust and confidence of the public .
Some of you make statements without thinking and without knowing the responsibility of a Prime Minister and that of the leader of the opposition. Since when a prime minster is obligated to consult a leader of the opposition? Wherever you hear this happening? Only in D/ca and in your mind?
Should the leader of an opposition be consulted on every decision the PM makes? You lack broad-mindedness. You better find out about their responsibilities.
Countries in the world have unsolved murders and cold cases. It happens that one day they will be able to solve them or a few.
In some cases the public helps the police solve crimes. Those members of the public who are aware of crimes and do not inform the police are aiding and abetting criminals. They are also withholding evidence.
Think God and what will Jesus say for those who are aware of crimes and do not report it to the police. They better think of it for one day God will judge them. Need I state more?
If the police allow the criminals to run away from the country and from the justice of the Court, know who will hold them accountable for deceit and not fulfilling their paid positions, GOD!
One day, everyone has to answer to God for the time He allotted them and what they did with it.
Authentic visionaries have stated, as revealed to them, we will answer to God for every second of our life and what we did with our time Therefore, waste not your time in idle words. Be careful of what you state and about others. Ensure it is true; not gossip and through the wickedness of the heart and vindictiveness.
did someone say Brazzers?
Petty crime is “brazen.” Stealing millions from poor Dominicans is BRAZENER.
What do you consider petty crimes?
It depends on the manner the crime is committed which is bold and brazen. As an adult, should you not know?
@ face the fact : As an adult, is this the best way you know to explain yourself? This is what you said.
“It depends on the manner the crime is committed which is bold and brazen. As an adult, should you not know?” “DEPENDS ON THE MANNER” – THEN YOU DROPPED THE “DEPENDS” AND CONCLUDED FORTHWITH IRRESPECTIVE OF THE CRIME IT MUST BE, “BOLD AND BRAZEN.” Nice try; but try again.
ba yo bwa; you are so foolish in your thinking,
For so long the opposition is trying to help; Remember the gon emanuel issue,and many others , In your judgement , do you think the government embraces help from the opposition?, the answer is no , and why?, because criminals dont investigate themselves
Criminal activities are on the rise because ,once a rapist ,paedophile or murderer is caught ; either they are set free or serve a very short time in jail. when a police officer should be sitting at the police station in wait of someone who needs help for example the man at point michel who came to the police station at 2 in the morning knocking and got no answer,left ;then came back at 6 am that was the time the police officer was coming in from his girl friend’s house,police are standing in street corners in roseau chatting with friends instead of walking about to see what is happening,food party in police stations,where police become too friendly with people ,when these same people commit crimes they end up with a simple slap on the wrist. land problem the police is playing justice in favour of their friends when they have no clue about people’s land. police is too corrupted,stop making police sleep in police stations 24/24…Police should not have beds to sleep on ,some are fat.
This comment is highly difficult to read. You need to learn punctuations as, proper commas, full stop and capital letters and where exactly they fit in.
Incidentally, the word is “pedophile”. I have not heard that the spelling of this word is changed, be it in the American or English/British manner.
What I was able to read from the beginning, blame their attorneys who plead on their behalf. You know about that.
If you’re going to try correct someone please learn American is a nationality not a language..
Do not tell that to the Americans lest you insult them and their language.
I know exactly what I stated and the reason why I did.
I said “American manner.” Americans do not think they speak English. They are not in the Commonwealth.
Americans follow their own way and style. Note how they have left out some letters from some words, shortening them. They expect us to follow suit.
cheque – check,
honour, – honor.
humour – humor,
harbour – harbor, etc.
The next time you decide to correct anyone, do put on your educational thinking cap if you have one. In some cases, people know why they commented as they did. You do not have their mind, cannot read it and therefore cannot think for them. Understand the gist of what they stated and meant.
The Police are ordinary men like any other man. This why they called policeman. They are brave, peaceful and quiet people. They are helpful, always give correct information. Their task entails: To prevent crime, uphold the Law and bring criminals to justice. They are highly disciplined, good manners and respected. When so called criminals take the law into their own hands and get caught, they beg for water, they beg to go to toilet, they get so angry at getting caught that they beat their heads on the wall. They get back like a child again. These are just silly and lazy people. The Police get paid for being in court but, the offenders lose days work and money too. “CRIME DOES NOT PAY”
What days work the offenders lose if it is crime they are involved in.?
Who has empathy for criminals? Not me!
If they were able to run away they would. I suppose they never consider that they will be caught. They should think twice before committing crimes. Consider what they have done to their victims by stealing what they have worked hard for.
Tell criminals to get a life and a job. They want to live off the avails of other nationals by stealing from them. When caught, they should bear the consequences of their action by a stiff penalty and imprisonment.
The solution the police is simple. If our supreme leader was not so obsessed with promoting his passport sales, then he would have dedicated his time into assisting the police force in their plight. The master of the universe does not know how to run the affairs of state. If he was qualified for his P.M. position, he would have found ways to generate funds so that more police could get hired which would have resulted in more police patrols. But that’s not the case. As long as his majesty is feeling safe in his mansion and sipping champagne that’s all he cares about. To hell with the rest. But at the same time I do not feel sorry for the police force because all they know how to do is to sit down in the police station and play dominos all day, get women pregnant in every village they go, and only come out when they hear the word DRUGS. Sorry sir, ask your supreme leader for finances to recruit more patrol officers.
………. u talking about the 70s, hello wake up!!!!
“Recently there has been a spate of criminal activities in Dominica, which include a break-in at the Office of Director of Public Prosecution, a robbery at gunpoint of a the Rubis gas station in Castle Comfort, a burglary at Green’s wholesale in Loubiere, the robbery of two Chinese nationals at gunpoint in Canefield, an assault on a senior citizen in Wesley, among others.” The data is quite staggering, if you ask me.
I am not prepared to entertain the idea that the official Opposition and its supporters are fomenting discord, disorder and lawlessness in the country. What I will say is that it is past time when the Opposition should stop behaving like those past and enjoin with Government and civil society on avant guard ways to arrest this downward slide into criminal chaos for the good of all and country. The scourge of crime knows no boundaries and spares none. We reap what we sow eventually. Prudence should prevail among all leaders of our country. Join together and stop crime.
Sorry! I must admit I hit the thumbs down button by mistake; an unknown reflex.
I do believe that the opposition has done much to undermine the government and the country in general. God knows if they are responsible for the spate of crimes in Dominica.
Some people are not foolish. When the opposition as their leader project disobedient, disrespect and contempt for the PM, his works and plans for Dominica expect this. This includes staging protests. Criminals may be some of the very ones who support that Party. Think about it.
@ face the fac u shud tell the LGBT community in North America that their protest action for equality is promoting disobedience. I’m guessing u think the organisers of those black lives matter protests promotes violence for standing up against injustice…has it ever occurred to u that the environment of begging created by this government, might be the reason for those petty crimes? I’m sure u heard of the red clinic…for years the governmentwas giving away money so ppl chose to remain jobless,and on Wednesdays dress in red to go see Santa at the Financial Center. The cash has ran out and they are still jobless.
Some of you make the mistake of judging people who you do not know. You do not know me; do not know what I do, how I do it and the advocate that I am.
I am no wimp as some of you who merely talk and criticize and this is all that you do.
Help the police to apprehend criminals. They cannot do it alone and they cannot be everywhere in Dominica. The police need the help of the public.
The increase in crime eh…..list them for us please, they go back a long way;
Here goes:1. French man passport fiasco Against the constitution, 2.the bin bobol, 3. the fertiliser bobol 4,. The lap set diplomatic issue 5. the flying in of illegal election voters, 6. Layou RIVER HOTEL 7. The villas,
Thanks Commissioner for your intiative
…and please anyone add to this list to help the Commissioner OF Police
Heinous crimes like firebombing of 2 innocent Dominican elders.
Firebombing of police officer George, investigating money-laundering
Carving out 15 acres of our land from our Cabrits National Park and hand that over to the Foreign Range Dev. firm.
Handing of our diplomatic passports to so many with questionable, criminal deals. A few are in jail.
Sale of our passports without accountability or transparency.
US$20 million of Felix Chen re. Layou River hotel investment.
My Trade House Dominica deal.
Macau travels, signing of Agreements
Refusal to implement or assist in Electoral Reforms.
$60 million Debt to Petro Caribe
many. many more………..
“We have been patrolling island-wide and I must say the police force have been working extremely hard,” Carbon stated. Patrolling with what? I might add? And how visible and responsive and effective? One day for the watchman you say? Do you only want watchmen in your “Force”? As this is pretty much what” the Force” is. What a joke! Policemen paroling with no guns! Other islands do have the cops with guns. When are we going to wake up. In case you missed it Mr Commissioner, DA is no longer the innocent island with low crimes. You can’t fight crime with eyes and Batons, and on foot. This is the 21st century. Get tough (not only when you want to beta up prisoners). Nuff said.
Do the police officers not have taser guns?
It is our world and our country. We are responsible for what occurs in it.
You can do one thing and this is to pray for your country that God may eradicate crimes.
Just as the police need your help, God needs your help in this respect as also bringing souls to him.
Fervent prayers do help. Dominicans must do more praying than bickering and criticizing. Too many are doing that. They rank among DLP non-supporters. These are not helping the country one bit and to be free of crimes especially the bad and brazen ones.
Thats what happenes when leaders are not leading by example
Do you live an exemplary life?
yes, I do
