After spending two weeks in quarantine following his return from Ireland, Commissioner of Police, Gary Griffith, will be back in office on Thursday.

The Top Cop says his first order of business will be to ensure that people adhere to the latest Public Health Ordinance Regulations. Griffith plans to visit areas such as beaches and bars where people continue to gather in very large numbers.

The CoP says he has noticed that citizens have become relaxed with the reduced Covid-19 positive  cases, and despite pleas and warnings, a large number of people still do not wear masks in public.

He said it came to his attention that thousands of persons converged on beaches throughout the country last weekend and the cry was the same – no masks.

“It is not that I am going after people and giving them tickets where the fine is $1,000. But they must be responsible at this time as two of the measures to prevent the spread of the virus are to wear your mask and maintain social distancing. That was not the case last weekend,” the CoP added.
