~~Adz:Left~~ NASSAU, Bahamas – ACTING COMISIONER OF POLICE Reginald Ferguson told regional commissioners of police and military chiefs attending a key law enforcement conference in the Bahamas that the region’s future “depends heavily” on the outcomes of conferences such as the one they are attending.

According to Caribbean Net News, Ferguson was addressing the opening session of the 11th Meeting of the CARICOM Standing Committees of Commissioners of Police and Military Chiefs which opened on Thursday, October 30 in Nassau.

He stated that the meetings are being held at a time when “the ever-roving minds of the criminal opportunists, who are always willing and ready to take advantage of every opportunity to play their craft, are coming together to do so”.

“The criminals are committed to pooling their resources, intelligence and whatever else is available to them,” said Ferguson.

He further stated that law enforcement agencies in the Bahamas, particularly the Royal Bahamas Police and Defence Forces, are well aware that the ultimate victory over the vices of crime, evil and anti-social behaviour could only come about when persons work together to get the job done.

“The united front represented by your presence today is refreshing and it sends the right signal to the entire region and even beyond,” Ferguson added.
