Police and National Security officials in the Bahamas are expected to increase the ranks of the Police reserves in the next year, according to Minister of National Security Tommy Turnquest.
The decision is the result of what Turnquest called the “significant role” the reservists have been playing in the Bahamas’ war on crime.
“The involvement of Police Reservists have been invaluable to achieving positive results,” he said. “Such collaborative measures will surely continue as it proves that the pooling of the various resources at our disposal is the key to making a notable difference in the reduction of crime.”
The reserves, which were established in 1965, contribute more than 1800 hours annually to assisting the career force in crime fighting.
