The killings in this country are still too high. while the murder count is at 56, the police shootings will bring the number of killings to over 60. And while the murders have slowed slightly in the month of May, the country is still on course to record a murder count of over 130. Hopefully Marvin Dames will implement some policing strategy that will break the back of these killings. While road blocks are effective in catching traffic violators and other criminal offenders, strip searching young men in the middle of the street is poor policing. Not only does it look disgusting but it creates animosity between police and innocent motorists when they are strip searched in the middle of the streets. Obviously embarrased they see the police as the offender who publicly violated their person. And some police officers do not spare any pains to make their 'victims' feel intimidated.

New Providence is a tiny island. Put in 10,000 cameras. You will solve this problem once and for all time at a fraction of the Police's annual budget.

The male 'friend' left his female friend lying in the road while he drove off to the hospital? Doesn't sound like a friend to me.
