Making the Right Choice

The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force (RTCIPF) welcomed students and guidance counsellors from the Clement Howell High School to the Chalk Sound Police Station and the Grace Bay Police Post today.

The visit aimed to encourage students to make positive life choices.

Acting Commissioner of Police Fitz Bailey addressed the students, emphasizing the importance of choosing a positive path despite challenges.

“Sometimes, your environment may not be ideal, but do not let this deter you. People may try to make you feel lesser than you are, but their words do not define you. Everyone was created in the image of God, and you have the power to shape your own future,” said Commissioner Bailey.

He encouraged the students to take control of their destiny, highlighting that they are “procreators” who can create their own world.

“The choices you make will determine your future. Always strive to make the right choice, avoid negative influences, and look up to positive role models,” he advised.

Commissioner Bailey also spoke about the nobility of the policing profession, sharing his journey in law enforcement. “Policing is a noble profession. My first and only job has been that of a police officer, and I can confidently say it is one of the best careers you can pursue.”

The visit allowed students to interact with officers, learn about the roles and responsibilities of law enforcement personnel, and gain a deeper understanding of the importance of maintaining law and order within their communities.
