Swirling rumors have found their way into the rumor mill as it relates to the downsizing of the grand Turk Police station.
RTC News contacted Press Officer, Kevin Clarke to verify the story.
In a response to our news room, Police Operations on Grand will not be greatly reduced. Commissioner of Police has issued this statement.
“I am not certain how the rumour originated that Grand Turk policing is being greatly reduced because it is so far from reality.
“The Senior Executive of the RTCI Police are actually strengthening Grand Turk by deploying an Inspector and a Sergeant on each of the four shifts, which were not there before.
“We are essentially delegating more authority and decision-making to the each shift to ensure accountability and to aid in policing services.
The Commissioner continued, “I am committed to ensuring that Grand Turk has the policing services that it needs. Each of our islands has particular needs and the RTCI Police will provide the unique policing service that each island requires.”
RTC will continue to follow this story in the event the rumor becomes truth.
