Like everyone else in the British Virgin Islands, I was deeply shocked by the murder which took place in broad day light in Tortola on Tuesday. It was a truly appalling event.
Good afternoon Governor, Premier, members of the press, ladies and gentlemen,
I hope this afternoon to share a policing perspective on the current crime climate and what my officers are presently doing to maintain security and a level of calm and safety within our communities.

Good Day and God’s blessings Mister Speaker.
In April 2020, I stood in this honourable House and informed the people of these Virgin Islands about the economic stimulus for fishers and farmers in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mister Speaker, I thank you for the opportunity to share with this Honourable House and the entire community updates on the progress in schools since the start of the 2020/2021 school year and into the second term.
Mr. Speaker, COVID-19 was declared a GLOBAL PANDEMIC on March 11, 2020.
Empowered by The Public Health Ordinance of 1977; The Infectious Diseases (Notification) Act, 2013; Quarantine Act, 2014 and the Public Health (Covid-19 Control And Suppression Measures) Orders of 2020, the Health Emergency Operations Centre (HEOC) was activated as the primary advisory body in the Territory’s defense against COVID-19.
