A review of law enforcement and criminal justice bodies in the British Virgin Islands: Volume 2 – a road map for 2025 to 2035
We carried out this review at the request of the then Governor of the BVI, John James Rankin CMG, in response to recommendations 38 and 41 of the 2022 Commission of Inquiry report.
We were commissioned to review nine public sector bodies in the British Virgin Islands.
We provide the findings and recommendations from our review in two volumes. In volume one, published in 2024, we focused on recommending action that law enforcement and criminal justice bodies could take quickly. We also addressed current and future problems that gave us the greatest cause for concern, but which may not be easily resolved.
In this second volume of our report, we set out a road map for change over the next ten years. It details improvements to how some of these bodies operate and how some functions might be carried out more efficiently or effectively.
We also consider the role of the National Security Council in providing a platform for oversight of law enforcement and criminal justice, among many other threats and risks.
The recommendations we made in volume one remain valid regardless of the more fundamental and long-term changes proposed in volume two.
