The police can’t solve this crime problem by themselves. People just need to watch their associations and learn to be contented with what they have until they could do better. Avoid negative influences and people who want things to come to them overnight and would do anything at any cause to get it, without working hard or being honest in their dealings. Always be prepared to weather the storm and to work hard for what you want, nobody said this will be easy, but at least you should be able to sleep good at nights. Parents you need to set up rules and guidelines for your homes, these children need to know you are not playing with them. Nothing should be in your house and you don’t know where and how it got there, instead of sitting down watching Life Time and Basket Ball games, you should be carrying out regular and full inspection of your homes and yards. If you come across anything and you don’t know how it got there, someone need to be doing some serious explaining. The first thing on your list should be no weapons or drugs is allowed in this home, if found on property, as much as I love you, the matter is now out of my hands. This is where The Royal Bahamas Police Force steps in. Once you are under my roof, please abide by my rules and regulation. Once we understand each other, I don’t see why things shouldn’t work out for you. Love you always.
