After a weekend marred by violent shootings and a new murder investigation, Fitz Bailey was officially sworn in as the new Commissioner of Police for the TCI. Governor Dileeni Daniel-Selvaratnam administered the oath, marking another leadership change in a territory grappling with a steep rise in violent crime — from just two murders annually two decades ago to nearly 50 in 2024.
Premier Washington Misick called Bailey's appointment a “new era” for law enforcement. However, public patience is thin, with residents demanding real results and a significant reduction in gun violence.
Bailey, a 40-year veteran of the Jamaican police force, steps into a critical role at a critical time.
