Barbados Police force, should take some help from the NYPD.  However, Barbados needs to deal seriously with the issue of the deportees.

When Trinidad brought in someone from Canada to run their Police department I sent in a comment saying that Barbados should follow. Barbados Police chief did not want to hear that. Barbados Police seems to have an internal problem and I know that Bajans workers don`t like no boss when they can`t work as they please. I mention that they are top Bajan Police right here in NYC, gold shield detectives that could show the Barbados police how things are done.
Crime has taken a new level and the Barbados police is not ready yet to deal with it and neither is the Courts.This tragedy is a wake call for the whole of island.

Let New York’s finest help. Please!

This story was reported in the Sunday Toronto Star. Can you imagine the readership? On Labour Day weekend when persons relax on the last weekend of summer and catch up on the news? We really don’t need this type of exposure to boost our tourism. Instead of seeing feuding top cops in the headlines we want to see real reduction in crime with the culprits being APPROPIATELY PUNISHED!

I’m glad that other investigators going to come in to help. They have to get these thugs. They can’t get away with this horrible incident. When they come, they need to start with the Chicken place..maybe a copycat, but it is a start. Please don’t let these beautiful people death be in vain, they belong to somebody.

RBPF please accept NYPD’s help.  The longer it takes to solve this crime the chances of catching these criminals are slim.  This kind of crime is unheard of in Barbados and I strongly believe that the culprits are either deportees or from another island.

This is exactly why Immigration reform is so very important for Barbados. When the current Government came to office and laid down certain guidelines for those persons who were in Barbados illegally every one started shouting. Did you realize that from the early unscientific poll on the Nation page every one still is shouting.

Just check out the Modus Operandi and tell me what you the same people think.

This is a tragic loss to the family and victims of this fire bombing in Bardados. I pray for the family in this moment of time, I also pray for the person or persons who did this because they have to face bigger judgement that is God and he does not sleep.

If the help is NEEDED then by all means accept the help..This is not to say that the Barbados Police Force is inadequate..It is simply saying make haste and capture these two and punish them severly..the death penalty or street justice.

Take the help. we need all the help we can get to help solve this crime.

Its time Barbados bring some one from outside to help solve these crimes. I never knew that they were so many until the Nation paper started to interview the families.Some are as old as 10yrs. Here in NYC they are top Bajan Dets that
would lend their expertise.
Bajan police don`t have the
experience to deal with this kind of crime so they just let it go under the rug. I have not heard if an
arrest was made in Mr.Hutson`s murder as yet and this is only one of many.Barbados police chief don`t want what Trinidad did in bringing some one from Canada to be their chief,well start getting some of these crimes solve.

With this sort of criminal trend, we must start to look at the transnational aspect. There seems to be criminal elements associated with various drug cartels, that effectuate these crimes from country to country. With the recent change that in the criminals tactics, local police forces must take a serious look at this side.
It is clear if the facts that were published in your news paper re correct, that they clearly intended to burn this establishment. In your paper, it is stated that they took money, and still burn this establishment. Police must seriously look further than those cowardly persons, that perpetrated this crime.

Barbados should accept this offer of assistance from NYPD. My reasons for this recommendation are:
1. Some of these dangerous criminals learned their criminal ways in New York or other large American cities.
2. NYPD is more familiar with this kind of extreme violence which borders on terrorism.
3. Family connections in small islands can hamper police work. A more objective approach is needed.

I hope Bajan pride does not get in the way of common sense this time around. Things have gotten too bad for us to play that game. Act now or cede total control to the criminal element.

This should not diminish the skills of the RPDF at all but they need some additional help.

Barbados has some well trained and qualified Police Officers.

However, a crime so henious and sadistic on innocent women trying to make a living and other shoppers in a civilized place like Barbados warrants expert investigative help from a respected man like Ray Kelly.

Judging from the outcry and anger, if this evil person has any intelligence, he would turn himself in ASAP.

I must take this opportunity to forward my condolences to all the families.

People, people, PEOPLE! For the love of God, give the Royal Barbados Police Force the chance to prove themselves. Do you realise the message that is being sent out to the whole world? They are being told that the R.B.P.F are incompetent and need others to hold their hand.

So should they throw in the towel and declare defeat at this early stage? What happens the next time there is a crime,should they look to outsiders to solve it for them?

Every police force throughout the entire world face challenges and they do not always get it right.

There is no proof whatsoever that bringing in help will make any difference. It’s mere speculation.

All this criticism can’t be much good for their morale.
Give the Royal Barbados Police Force a BREAK!

To all of you who don’t already know it, right now the Commissioner of Police, Mr Darwin Dottin is giving a press conference. He has revealed that help has been brought in, from an arson expert to Interpol; they have been covering as many viable avenues as possible.

I hope that all of you who have been knocking the R.B.P.F, that your anger is now somewhat abated and instead will now show them a little more support and encouragement.

This crime has nothing to do with terrorism, Barbados Police Department should be very careful in bringing in help from New York’s Police Department. Detectives in Barbados are smart enough to solve this crime.

Somebody should circulate a petition to press the government (and police force) to accept the outside help of the NYPD.  Barbadians finally sound fedup with their chupidness. These criminals have finally shaken a hornets nest and they don’t know what is coming to them from now on.

First let me give my condolences to the families of the victims of this terroristic act. I don’t know who committed this horrendous act but they need to be caught and brought to justice as soon as possible. Maybe the authorities need to look at this crime from another angle. These guys knew that the store only had one way in and one way out, yet they started that fire at only way in and out. Maybe the robbery was a cover for another crime; maybe they were there to carry out a hit. We must also stop the nonsense about deportees and other Nationals. Remember we as Bajans also travel and live illegally in other countries. No matter who did this, it’s still a COWARDLY act. Those ladies were not going to give chase and the perpetrators knew this. Please catch them and let Justice be swift.
