Dominican, Alwin James, has been appointed deputy commissioner of police in the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF).
James, from Wesley, was confirmed in the position by Governor Boyd McCleary.
He has been acting in that position since April, 2012, except for three months earlier this year when he attended the internationally-acclaimed Strategic Command Course at the Police Staff College in Bramshill, England, according to online news website bviplatinum.com.
He was congratulated by commissioner, David Morris, who said he was pleased with the appointment and that they will work together to move the police force forward.
James thanked all those who supported him during his career including his family friends and colleagues.
“I look forward to giving my best to the people of the Territory. I pledge to continue my work in partnership with the other law enforcement agencies in the Territory and the region,” he was quoted by BVI Platinum as saying.
James has served in the RVIPF for 28 years and has been Superintendent in charge of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID).
Congratulations Alwin. You make us all proud. Your brothers , Geese, Aram and Walter should be proud as well as your immediate family. Tan-Jone is smiling!
congratulations stay focused don’t get caught in any net ah wee no grow lakadat may Gad Bles yu
Congrates to the man and well done ,i do feel a sense of pride,but i seem to be getting tired of reading about person’s that have gone away and did well,why cant i hear of a local person excelling?,where is the platform in sport for example,a Dominican Usan Bolt can put DA on the map. We need to develop our own some more and stop piggy-backing on others personal efforts and sacrifices.
what is congrates? lol look spelling…
You’ve made us very proud Sir!! Congratulations and well done. God bless you.
yet when a Grenadian gets a notable position here, its a problem.
Congrats my neighbour and my dear friend. you have made us proud, and have made Dominica proud on a whole! be strong and very courageous my brother. God is with you!
What a wonderful achievement! CONGRATULATIONS!
Its amazing how proud and excited we get when one of ours get appointed to a major position in other peoples countries. However when the reverse happens we throw a xenophobic tantrum. Just saying.
My thoughts exactly!!!!
congratulation my bro(marigot possie) live up
congratulations!
congratulations sir I feel proud
Congratulations to you sir
Congratulations!!!! We are effecting change all over the world. We hope to see you soon to enjoy some of our Wa– ter! Wesley I from WEE.
congratulations, doing Wesley proud
I wish to congratulate Mr. Alwin James. I hope you will use the elevation to this most prestigious office wisely. Please be patient, no sooner the Lennox Linton UWP Administration takes office, I have no doubt in my mind, you will be the Commissioner of Police in Dominica.
well done sir
Congratulations and God’s richest blessings
Congratulations! Unlike the comment last week
of the Magistrate being appointed here. Are we to say aren’t there anyone from Tortola who are qualified for the job.? U see we are one people
regardless of where we come from. Just saying!
He has been working in the RVIPF for 28 years….that’s different!!!!!!
typical dominican
you can say it again, loud and clear
Wesley is proud of you Mr James
Hope the prejudiced British Virgin Islanders do not crucify him. Many of them hate fellow Caribbean peoples!
Your comment is so not becoming. Dominicans treat Haitians who live in Dominica as if they’re less than humans. Don’t you think you need to recall your comment? Just congratulate the guy and move on! In the midst of all the negative from Dominicans abroad, his nomination deserves a big CONGRATULATIONS!
so if they hate you, stay out the people place. what’s so hard in that?
Congratulations Mr.James. Another proud Dominican
Alwin… CONGRATULATIONS to you!! Well deserved promotion, continue to do an EXEMPLARY job.
congrats sir you are blessed
It’s nice that our citizens can rise to the highest level there is in other people country but when it’s people from elsewhere who are given high position in Dominica there’s always an uproar.We need to understand how the world works and stop been selfish.
The article specifies “James has served in the RVIPF for 28 years and has been Superintendent in charge of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).” Obviously he didn’t just land in the BVI or got shipped in from another country to get the job.
A Dominican is deputy chief in a foreign country…a you serious.?
what’s wrong with that, be positive and lift a brother!!
but a dominican was commissioner in that same country…
Congrats James,your in an elite team,not being controlled by a regime that is in dominica.do your job with great pride.
You know anything about the BVI poilce dept or the govt. Everything is politcs with you guys.
Congrats Uncle Alwin. You have worked HARD for this island and deserves this position. Keep on doing and giving your best and let God do the rest. Cheers!!!
Congratulations to my fellow countryman.( Wesley Possie). Its always nice to see your fellow brothers and sisters rise to such high levels.
Continue your hard work. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
God Bless you Always.
He is needed in DPF, as we lack any kind of credible leadership and guidance in the Police Force in Dominica…
Dominica’s Police Force cherry picks incidents to Investigate….what has become of the Gon Emanuel Matter….just a set of spin and rubbish from the law men in Dominica..
But crime hitting up there backs..take that you incompetent DFP..
Congratulations are in order to my fellow country man. ( Wesley possie). Its always good to see your fellow brothers and sisters rise.
All the best my brother. Continue to excel. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
There are lots of Dominicans out there making us proud! congratulations! Blessings
