EDITOR, The Tribune.

ONE has to wonder if whomever is running the RBPF hasn’t lost a few marbles and is therefore incapable of prioritising police resource usage. In my own family we have lost two vehicles to theft in the last two weeks, and I personally know of three friends who have also suffered car thefts in the last month.

And it was not so long ago that an armed robber invaded my home at 4am and spent 45 minutes terrorising my family and me at the point of his gun.

Have the police found the two cars stolen from my family? Not a chance! Have they apprehended anyone in connection with my home invasion. Or any others for that matter. No siree! You don’t see the police in Nassau after dark anymore. They are probably more terrified than the people whom they are bound to protect and serve.

But today, in Big Day as the old people say, 12:00 high noon, the RBPF managed to mass at least 20 of its finest, along with their cars and shiny motorbikes, and took over the entrance to Sandals Resort on Cable Beach, to target the real (true true) criminals in our midst.

“You were doing 36 MPH in a 25 MPH zone, sir, please pull over to the left.” Don’t dare protest that to the left is a private driveway, they had commandeered that for the country. Police in flak jackets swarming all over the hotel property must have been very attractive to Sandals guests.
