Tourism Police Station Opened
By Viraj Perpall

Seeking to prevent crime from destroying the nation’s number one industry, tourism and police officials on Wednesday opened the Tourism Police Station on Bay Street.

Minister of Tourism Neko Grant said the tourism industry is indeed threatened by crime.

He said it is imperative that steps be taken to secure the welfare of Bahamians and tourists alike.

"Tourism is a good business for us, but we should be careful to guard and protect [it]. Believe me there would be no tourism business for us if we do not have proper security in our country," Mr. Grant said.

The tourism minister said that security is linked to visitor arrivals as studies have shown that security ranks high on the list of requirements for tourists when considering a destination to vacation in.

"Where crime rates soar out of control, those countries experience a significant falloff in tourism," Mr. Grant said.

He said The Bahamas must not allow itself to become complacent in protecting those who contribute to the success of its economy.

"This is why this station has such an awesome task," Mr. Grant said.

He said that although all police officers have the heavy task of keeping the peace in society, officers attached to the Tourism Police Station will have additional responsibilities as they will have to pay special attention to the safety of people who are not citizens of The Bahamas.

"We hate to see crime perpetrated against anyone, visitors or residents, but when a visitor is robbed or attacked some peculiar situations arise," Mr. Grant said.

He added that the world is a global village and no nation can exist in isolation.

Mr. Grant said when a crime is perpetrated against a visitor from another country it can interfere with the diplomatic relations between both nations.

"We can see quite vividly through the example of Natalie Hollaway In Aruba," he said.

Recently, an armed robber in the Cable Beach area shot John Capser, a New Jersey policeman, in the chest, according to police.

This incident came days after Khodee Davis, 16, was stabbed to death on Cabbage Beach on Paradise Island.

Speaking at the opening of the Tourism Police Station, Acting Commissioner of Police Reginald Ferguson said only the most up-to-date equipment will be used as Bay Street is a priority for law enforcement officials and must be protected.

"Police on Bay Street will be performing their duties using 21st Century methods. Officers will be able to police and patrol Bay Street knowing exactly where the hot zones are at any time of the day or night," he said.

Mr. Ferguson said that the use of Closed Circuit Television will ensure that officers approach situations with advanced knowledge of what is going on in specific areas.

He added that the use of technology will help officers to use what he calls "smart" policing.

Minster of National Security Tommy Turnquest said the opening of the Tourism Police Station is one of many initiatives the government plans to introduce to address crime.

"I do wish to inform the public that there are strategies in place to deal with the crime situation and also to make Bahamians begin to feel safe," Minister Turnquest said.

The best I can tell this is where the church is - does this look right to anyone?



Buckeye, I used your map and followed the road past the circle in the road and went two more streets - this is where you end up.

I'm not at all sure - the steeple is not showing up even with the 3-D buildings feature on.

My opinion only:
EVERYTHING about this case is nauseating, and in fact IS disgusting. Simply ignoring the things that show up in the press (while more bearable to many) would not serve our cause very well. When Joran "exposes" (sorry) his true nature to the world -- we cannot ignore it. In fact, it is even more necessary to over sensationalize it so that even more people in the general public are made aware just how depraved these people are. It's been 3 long years -- playing "nice" hasn't worked.
I agree wreck.

By showing Joran's true colors only proves to the world that we were right.  This picture needed to be shown as disgusting as it is.

Does anyone really think the Sloot's are bothered by his behavior.  After covering up a murder in their own home does anyone really think they care that their psycho son dropped his draws.

I will make a prediction right now and say that the Sloots aren't long for the wear on that island.  They will be packing up and returning to the Netherlands or some other country where their family is.  They stayed long enough for their second child to graduate high school and see him off to college.

P.S.  They will keep the house they are living in on Aruba and board it up.  They won't rent it and it will be watched.

ENLARGED


This area looks like a closer match for the above ground cemetery and the red buildings.



This building here looks like it could be the polis station - and it would have a direct sight-line to the Church.

Pita, I changed the name on that pin. Thank you.

This doesn't look right for some reason.

and it doesn't seem to follow the directions Buckeye provided.

Rob:
Go north from the bird sanctuary, past half of the High-Rise hotels, and turn right at the first traffic light. Proceed a mile or two to the next traffic light. Originally built in 1776 and last renovated in 1916, Santa Anna Church boasts a soaring ceiling and an intricately carved altar, communion rail, and pulpit. The neo-Gothic oak altar, carved in 1870 for a parish in the Dutch province of Noord-Brabent by Hendrik van der Geld, came to Aruba in 1928. The two stained glass windows, dating from 1932 and 1965, honor four former lay priests of Alto Vista Chapel. The adjacent cemetery has no grass, but its hodgepodge of grave "houses" painted in tropical pastel colors and festooned with a verdant garden of plastic flower wreaths is bright and meditative. A family of resident burrowing owls stares down from their perch at uninvited intruders. The church, which is usually locked, is on Caya F. D. Figaroa at its intersection of Palm Beach in Noord

Hi Kat_Gram,

It is a disgusting picture, but I think it's good for people to see what Joran is really like. No one made him behave that way - it shows what his true nature is, IMO.

I don't care a whole lot about Joran's picture, but I do think people should read that he declared himself to be "king of the ocean".
