In other Police news…Officers of the Criminal Investigation Department within the Federation are paying special attention to cases involving special victims. The Commissioner of Police has commenced formal discussions with overseas agencies to assist with training in these areas with a focus on victims of Rape and Indecent Assault.

It has been observed that we are experiencing too many incidences of Indecent Assault cases especially those of which involve victims which are minors. The Commissioner of police frowns on social ills of this nature and calls upon the social services and Non Governmental Organisations for their support in the stance against such ills. The Commissioner of Police is seeking the support of the General Public at this time especially taken into account that as recent as this week reports have been filled with our institution of a two year old (2) female child being molested.
