I overstand Modern Technology the Police Should have been obtaining information Certain places to Solve these Murders.Secondly the Rslpf have to Demand Cctv from Government to be Installed at Strategic Locations Island wide also the Use of Drones to Locate Certain Locations .The Eye witness is a No go The police have to work professionally to gather information to effect Arrest. Years ago Senior Sgts.Inspectors Asp..Suit.That was investigating these Serious Crimes now it’s Constables and Cpls
.I wonder why
The Rslpf have to Step up before it’s to late and St.Lucia becomes a Little Haiti
We can never prevent crimes from happening but again the police isn’t on top of their game or maybe too many members of the police force are double agents complicating the efforts of the rest from getting the job done st Lucia too small to be that difficult to police so that been said we also need the wireless company to help with the crime efforts we need all hands on deck for this one
