RVIPF Refutes Allegations of Physical Confrontation Between Acting Commissioner and ACP Trevillion
The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) has pushed back against recent media reports suggesting that Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Pam Trevillion was placed on forced leave, calling the claims “erroneous, misleading, and misinformation.”
In a statement issued Monday, February 10, Acting Commissioner Jacqueline Vanterpool said there was no physical confrontation between herself and ACP Trevillion while clarifying that no investigation of any kind—particularly one related to assault—had been initiated against the assistant commissioner.
Vanterpool urged media outlets to exercise diligence in verifying information before publication, emphasizing the ease with which these claims could have been fact-checked. “Disseminating misinformation and disinformation can have serious reputational consequences—not just for the individuals named, but also for the integrity of the RVIPF as a whole,” she stated.
The acting commissioner declined to comment further on what she described as baseless rumors, making it clear that she does not endorse or recognize the claims circulating in local media.
