THANK YOU, BUT THATS NOTHING COMPARED TO WHATS OUT THERE, DO SOME MORE SEARCHING, THEN UPDATE THE INFO. YOU GUYS JOKING THATS NOTHING AND YOU ALL KNOW THAT, LUCIANS STILL NOT SAFE WITH THAT INFO.
and how many of them got bail? All of them
@Sexy Girl. Move from there. Take yourself from behind the keyboard and get out there and bring in at least one gun.
Any way, good job SLPF.
(1) Let’s get the total bail amount associated with that haul (2) Let’s get the total prison time associated with that haul.
Only then we can connect the dots/make extrapolations. Otherwise, it’s just numbers and great for trivia.
I hope that really the amount that was confiscated. tell us how much drug money that was confiscated. how come is only st Lucia you not hearing about drug money police confiscating. why the not reporting that.
Yeah, good job? but the criminals waiting to buy back. The head has a rape allegation to clear up, but That’s under rug, so we can sell a few bullets back even guns in the mean time. What’s good for the goose is good for the………….just going through the head of the corrupt cops
I commend you for reporting gun seizing data. However, I would like data on the apprehension and conviction of those who commit violent crimes. How many of those alleged murderers are caught?
I am not the least bit impressed with these figures! Give us all the facts. How maby arrests were made??? How many of those arrested were given bail almost immediately? How many of those arrested were convicted and sent to prison? I believe the authorities will never give us the full story because the truth would be an embarrasment to the powers thst be!
CROW OR JOHN CROW, HOW MANY YOU GOT ARRESTED FOR, HOW MANY YOU CONVERTED. YOU ARE OUT THERE GO HELP INFACT TURN YOURSELF IN.
Your minds would be blown away if you know the ridiculous levels of corruption that exist in the Royal St. Lucia Police Farce. The best way to find out is to find a former police officer who spent a short time in the service and left out of frustration. Those would be more willing to discuss what they saw and caused them to leave. This country is well on its path to becoming a failed state, Haiti style. You cannot have law without order. A society cannot be a free for all do as you place as is here. Society needs rules and enforcers. We have neither.
All of y’all who would like SLU to become a failed state, go and come back again. Neva happen! And y’all that commenting about convictions, that have nothing to do with the police. Go ask the judiciary that. @Sexygirl, you not sexy at all. I’m sure you giving your “mun” mal tet.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Does this numbers mean that the police have done a great job or does it show how slack our borders are? How do these numbers relate to the qty of shooting or murders for the year. Can we compare numbers for the last 10 yrs. Guns and Ammunition seized, Muders by gun fire and Shootings?
Sorry to say, its just a matter of time; in Ecuador it has been and its more so now than ever before; In Haiti the same have been from the beginning and its getting worse. Whereas the U.N. have sent in International Troup to keep the peace after horrendous Earthquakes, Political violence, the murder of various leaders, things nave not changed and is not likely to change in a hurry. see what’s happening in Ecuador, the lure for Drugs, money and fame which attracts competitors, enemies, death and all. This whole affair is international and very close to home. This Administration was told to get some ‘Bad Ass’ Cops from Jamaica, Trinidad and elsewhere but instead, they chose guys from the tiniest most passive Islands, which tells me they’re not serious, they don’t really want to get rid of their domestic crime. Keep dragging your feet, it wont be long; the Lord God only Knows.
