Letter: TCI must learn to get tough on crime PDF Print E-mail

The attack against officers in Grand Turk SHOULD BE the last straw.

What will it take before this government policing force realizes they’re being made the object of a joke by criminals?

When an attack against a police officer happens in the USA, God help the villains.

As we say, there is no wrath like that of a police department scorned.

It amazes me that Commissioner (Edward) Hall does nothing to change the current state of affairs. He waits for someone else to change the situation or solve the problem.

And the Turks Islanders are seeking independence? Are you kidding me? Before one is able to walk on their own, they must first learn to crawl. The TCI government is still in the cradle depending on Mommy to bring them what they need.

The response to all this crime should be a swift adaptation to the current rampant crime.

1. Report in the news that NO ONE will be immune from scrutiny during a crime investigation.
2. ANYONE found to be harboring, lying for or withholding information from the police will be prosecuted to the fullest extent.
3. Issue Tasers to every officer — police, port and customs.
4. Permit civilians to purchase and carry personal type Tasers. (background check required). Best alternative to handguns. Non-lethal.
5. Make ALL handguns Illegal. It is too difficult to know who has a permit and who does not. ANY handgun (other than police) is illegal.
6. Employ undercover trusted civilians as police informants. To gather intelligence from every settlement.
7. Once a criminal is caught, NO bail until the trial will be offered.

Why does all this seem so simple to many of us, yet the answers elude the authorities?

WAKE UP TURKS AND CAICOS!!!  before you’re back in the salt business as your only income source.
