Two Police Officers Injured in Single-Vehicle Crash in West End
Two officers from the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) were injured in a single-vehicle accident in the West End Police District overnight, according to an official statement issued on Saturday, July 6.
The officers, who were traveling in a marked police vehicle at the time of the incident, were reportedly responding to a sudden death call in the district when the crash occurred. The vehicle sustained front-end damage, and both officers were transported to Dr. D. Orlando Smith Hospital. One officer is reported to have sustained serious injuries, while the other’s injuries were described as non-life-threatening.
Acting Commissioner of Police Jacqueline E. Vanterpool
“The injured officers are receiving the full support of the RVIPF during their recovery,” said Acting Commissioner Jacqueline Vanterpool in a statement. “Out of a need to balance transparency while maintaining investigative integrity, I am unable to give further details until the investigation into the circumstances leading to the accident is completed.”
The RVIPF indicated that additional information will be released as necessary. The investigation remains ongoing.
The fugitive known as John Dawn Emmanuel, also identified as Brent Dain Danglade and the alias “Small Brent,” who was first named by the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) in connection with the May 2025 murder of Nyron Erickson in Tortola, is now also being sought by authorities in Sint Maarten in relation to a separate double homicide investigation.
JTV News will continue following developments in this major regional manhunt.
The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force has confirmed that Tarik Aaron was arrested shortly before midnight on Friday, April 17, on extradition orders issued by authorities in the United States Virgin Islands, and has since appeared before the Magistrate’s Court.
According to police, the arrest was carried out in connection with a request from USVI authorities, though further details have not been disclosed.
Aaron appeared before the Magistrate’s Court today and was denied bail.
Further updates are expected as more information becomes available.
Six new police vehicles have been added to the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) fleet as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen law enforcement capacity in the Territory.
The force stated that the vehicles will support policing operations by improving mobility, response times and visibility across communities in the Virgin Islands.
“These additions form part of our continued efforts to enhance operational capacity and visibility across our communities,” the RVIPF said in a statement.
The vehicles are expected to be deployed on roads throughout the Territory as they begin active patrols in support of law enforcement duties.
The RVIPF also indicated that additional vehicles are expected to arrive in the coming months, further expanding the resources available to officers.
