And, in other police news, yesterday we showed you the groundbreaking ceremony held in Bella Vista village for a new police substation.
The fast growing, hard partying village has experienced a significant spike in crimes and other traumatic deaths and the police have decided to actively increase their presence there, but according to acting Compol Jones they are not waiting for the substation to go up, they have already started sending more officers to be stationed there.
Bart Jones, Acting Commissioner of Police
"The issue of Bella Vista is that we have increased police presence in Bella Vista for some months now. The issue of the station just allow for, for greater space and for additional units to be put in place down there. So, we have already, even before the inauguration, the groundbreaking yesterday, we saw the need for additional officers down there, that that community is growing. And it's not only Bella Vista, but the the neighboring villages as well, that we are responsible to police. And so, the increase, increase the level of the, the rank of the officer in charge of, of the vista, and so as I said the station will then provide us with additional space to put the other resources, Gender-Based violence, child friendly space and and other services that we provide."
