Policing Guns

Mr. Greenslade took time out of his hectic schedule to share, with intense passion and humility, startling criminal statistics and misconceptions of criminal profiles with an attentive Sunrise audience. In particular, he dispelled the myth that non-Bahamians are the predominant criminals. He also mentioned that most of the criminal activity is not random but rooted in various relationships. Regardless of one's outlook on crime in The Bahamas, his appeal was centered on individuals making positive contributions rather than complaining about the surging layers of crime in The Bahamas. Mr. Greenslade stressed that it is incumbent upon each individual to do their part to be law abiding residents. It is only then he said that the Royal Bahamas Police Force would be clearly seen as effective in executing its mandate. ACP Greenslade and a few members of the SWAT team introduced the Sunrise audience to a small inventory of dangerous weapons that have been used in serious crimes and consequently confiscated within the Commonwealth of The Bahamas. The team members explained the design and the extent of damages that each weapon can inflict to underscore the serious challenges that they are being faced with in their duties as law enforcement officers and the risks that haunt our social freedom.
