At a presentation at the Jamaican Canadian Centre (JCA) in Toronto, Canada, on Saturday, hosted by the organisers of the Peaceful Caribbean Conference, due to be held in Barbados next month, Peter Sloly, Deputy Chief of Toronto’s Divisional Policing Command, spoke about his wide experience in law enforcement and the issues of increasing crime and violence in the Caribbean.
“You have to weed out the bad cops; we have the same issues in the city of Toronto. The people who you deal with are sophisticated, move money around the world through safe ports, if your local station lacks the same level of equipment, you will not be able to keep up. So investment in the infrastructure is critically important as investing in the people who keep up the systems – the officers,” Sloly said.
Those of you who state that there are few comments for this article I am still trying to figure out what they are trying to relay here that we do not know about. Those who reside in Toronto are fully aware of the crime situation and that there are bad cops, some of whom, through the years have been arrested, charged, imprisoned, suspended and fired. No exception in the U.S. and U.K.
There is so much occurring in DA which we have read about and commented extensively on, giving them our time and our all that we do not have much to state and some, nothing at all to comment about this article. When their meeting is held, hopefully, they will have something constructive to report that many could comment on.
It is not strange that there are no comments. We have just not found a way to blame the government in this article. As soon as we figure it out we will post.
But isn’t that strange? There are comment on even the simplest of articles but none on crime in the Caribbean? The voice of the people is what governs a democracy. So if the people have not spoken then does it mean that we should leave it alone because there is no crime in the Caribbean or that the leaders don’t want to be exposed as the criminals?
An article goes up about crime in the Caribbean. In Caribbean news now publication there are almost 1500 reads and comments from all over the Caribbean. The same article is placed on Dominica News Online and there is not a single comment. Are comments on crime censored on DNO as well?
