The Barbados Police Service has a new outpost in the Ivy, St Michael community that has been the scene of recent shootings, and Acting Senior Superintendent for the Bridgetown Division Adrian Broomes said the move was part of efforts to ensure residents felt safe.Around 11 a.m. on Wednesday, several officers were seen setting up the outpost and interacting with people in the neighbourhood.Broomes said the aim was to have a stronger presence in the urban district.“When we consider a lot of recent happenings in the Ivy, we look at our core values when it comes to the service and that is to make communities safe. We put this post down as a means of reassurance to let the persons here in this district know that the police are here [and] we understand their concerns. We are not only about the policing effort but we are also concerned about the community and people being safe,” he said.

Years of hoarding large amounts of garbage came to an end Saturday, as members of the Sanitation Service Authority (SSA) and the Royal Barbados Police Force (RBPF) undertook a massive clean-up exercise in Holetown.
According to Public Relations Officer of the SSA, Carl ‘Alf’ Padmore the garbage, located near to the Holetown Police Station, and neighbouring businesses, accumulated for just under two decades, and had led to a serious public health safety situation in the area.
“What you would see is the accumulation of garbage over 15 years, done by a gentleman who identifies himself as Victor Roach, who would have been occupying land not belonging to him or land he did not get permission to reside on.
