Governor’s Office extends tenure of Assistant Police Commissioner
Acting Governor David Archer Jr. has announced the extension of Assistant Commissioner of Police Pamela Trevillion’s tenure by an additional six months.
Highly-placed sources told our news centre that the Public Service Commission had decided against renewing the UK national’s tenure but the Governor’s Office opted to override that decision.
A press release issued by the Governor’s Office on Wednesday, November 21, described its decision as constitutional.
It further said the decision is part of a broader reorganisation of leadership within the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF), aimed at improving the implementation of recommendations from a recent Law Enforcement Review by His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS).
“Assistant Commissioner Pamela Trevillion will remain in her role for an additional six months, from November 22, 2024, to May 2025. This decision, along with all RVIPF Human Resources matters, is made in accordance with the constitution,” the release stated.
The press release emphasised that the RVIPF is facing significant challenges, but the expertise and professionalism of its officers remain a priority in all recruitment decisions.
The extension of the UK national’s tenure comes after Governor Daniel Pruce’s decision to terminate the recruitment process for a new Commissioner of Police, originally scheduled to take office on November 30. The recruitment, initiated earlier this year to ensure continuity following Commissioner Mark Collins’ term, was halted due to evolving requirements, creating a temporary leadership gap.
This shift also follows reports that a high-ranking police officer is currently under internal investigation. Commissioner Mark Collins declined to comment, stating he could neither confirm nor deny the reports.
In 2023, the UK government allocated approximately one million dollars for a comprehensive review of the territory’s law enforcement agencies, prompted by rising crime rates, particularly gun-related offences. The review examined the structure, resources, conduct, and standards of the RVIPF, Customs, Immigration, and the Prison Service.

OVERRULED
Would this have been done for a local?
Think about it….. a local would not have been on a two year contract – it would have been permanent!
White protecting whites is called racism
Blacks protecting Blacks hiding Black criminal including murderers.Blacks rejecting a police bill that would better flush outthe crime and the criminals Blacks importing Black
Criminals and giving clearance for their stay. Blacks building
their country into another
criminal and poverty septic link
In the Black Caribbean chain….
Just get the UK to provide a proper police force for 2 year period of time..
Too much crime & corruption from within.
No one is going to arrest their cousins or siblings…clean up the place!
The UK takeover of the BVI begins!
That would be a light at the end of the dark tunnel along with Trump’s deportations and citizen by Birth gone byebye.
Everybody hiring, protecting and promoting their own. While we fight among ourselves over who getting what and who not supposed to have this and that not realizing that the whole thing about to get taken from us. Between the uk and the million expats a year we importing we gonna lose what we have if we don’t wake up.
What planet are you on?
Ok..since you are referencing and referring to local news,in the Caribbean thousands are murdered each year and with no exception,the victims and their killers are Black.
Inthese BVI,there are 100plus unsolved murders. The victims are Black. The murderers for certain are Black. They,their identities and their locations are well kept secrets by Blacks. The other” lessser” crimes that are unsolved or the perpetrators not apprehended are the workings of Blacks. The local and neighboring prisons are full to capacity with Blacks and the unfortunate victims are Black,. Just in case you are in another realm,be informed, there are hundreds of different Nationalities ethnicities and races in the Caribbean.
Hope west Bank Ny*** get throw down under her belt
And dirty police protecting N**** for Big money set of island man police need to go taken money from West getting money from N**** to buy right hand side car and bill up there home down the island, l**rack u have All jahr**m money now they need to come for you
they majority of the police force are Vincentians so what do
We need some form of self rule:
The UK is now formally. advancing its agenda to take over our purse and other.
They are now outwardly setting their young ones up to do so while denying our young people the same career opportunities.
This under handedness will only stopwhen the ties with Uk are severed completely,and this ust be done beorethey send in their Marines to complete the take over.
Indeed, it is quite obvious that the current acting COP will be the last local and Black the nation will see in decades if not centuries.
Antone who objects to. these statements are either the opperatives and or the. uninformed of the Brit mode of thinking.
He who knows not must confront history and read, as nothing has changed in that mindset since medival times.
We better wake up before it is to late.
Importing thoudands of criminals and potential criminals some not yet conceived from the bedrock of crime in the Northern Hemisphere necessitating the imports of additional and foreign police and law enforcement the predictable end result as it is now was orchestrated by the local Government for their personal gain. The UK is simply stepping in as mandated by Rules Law and obligation. A last ditch to save their sinking ship and irresponsible crew on a suicide mission.

An opinion is just that an opinion, especially. when it serves not to educate or benefit mankind.
An opinion then, is, looks and smells indentically to the anus of the holder, stink, smelly and useless.

Well if she got to stay a lil longer to clean up the dirty ones then do so please. Take some politicians with Yuh too
Can you imagine paying tax and bills for water but the water cut every evening?
Can you imagine paying tax for roads but every couple days or weeks you have no care issues or need new tyres? I surprised no one riot yet or sue them pants off maybe that’s why the politicians feel them could do anything
. imagine independence?? Wow
I dont understand, they come here for two years and dont want to leave, the fact is that she has never been paid so handsomely in her life, her rent is paid out of the public purse and all kind of allowances, these people consider that they are in heaven, Pam needs to go back home, we dont need her here.
Why does the RVIPF need an Assistant when it has two DCoP s? The Assistant was created to accommodate a white UK national(s), The current Assistant is being accommodated to position her over more qualified locals. She was sent to act in Montserrat. Governor Pruce deliberatively suspended the CoP recruitment process, for allegedly there were no UK nationals on the short list. Is this a case of UK nationals taking care, looking out for UK nationals. Colonialism is alive and well.
She is rude and writes a lot of s**t to police officers not knowing the police act she need to do a sensitivity course nothing but a …
Claude for Police Commissioner and A Penn C.O.Prison.
Governer extends colonial hand and Premier can’t do duck squat about it. Where in London England can he or we do the same?
My people are fools, cowards and slavish tothe core.
@ Anonymous, don’t be a moomoo, we cant go England and do the same, the reason is that we are one of several British territories, England is not.
Chile hush the defeatist laguage. You obvviously do not know or care to know thatwhatever weall agree upon to. bring change to our lives can be done.
Copting all of the worlds land, resources and people by means of war thenownership. does not give England any God ordaie right to stake out the position you so foolishlystated.
Did India, Kenya, Barbados and many, many more opened there eyes and mental faculties, and proceeded to rid themselves of tyranny, opppression, genocide, murder, greed and selfish oppresion?
We must bewalking away from theoffspring of total and complete evil and towards freedom and justice, from exploitation, mimickry human greed and selfishness
The UK law enforcement of Caucasian race are here as a result of the consistent and rising of numbers of murders and other crimes being committed by the Black population locals and most especially by those Bkacks imported from other Caribbean islands who claim to be seeking opportunity for a better life.
In addition there are police imported from the said Caribbean Islands as accompaniment which by its very nature is counter productive.
It is degrading humiliating embarrassment which speaks to the character of the demographic which requires such containment and overseers. Yet Still they are shamelessly making noise of discontent, questioning the need for the UK intervention. Putting their tails between their legs and humble
Y hiding their faces …shame eludes these defacto set of humanity. The BVI, will never be the same but will become the SameAs all the rest.

Sopt the llies, divisiveness and incinuation. you are clearly an unread intellectually defcient lunatic.
Are. the crime levels greater here than in UK?
Have UK laws diminish them in any way, or stop people from being human hating people who would then deemed themselves to try to continue to divide he BVI and the Eastern Black?
And you do this divisive tactic so we locals could begi hating our Caribbean brothers.
Then alsoto keep. them from increasing our population, so it will become easier for the past and current tyrant to divide and conquer so the hidden agenda would be easier to execute
We love all peoples, but especially. our Black people, irrespective of where they from.
Indeed, we would rather tolerate the Easterns the Ukers.
How convoluted is this move? Extremely convoluted!!
This is the same playbook tactics the law firms and financial services firms in the BVI use to retain and promote other nationals while stagnating well-deserved hard-working locals; at least those with good work ethic and integrity.
