Ministry Demos New 911 Dispatch System for Top Officials
The Ministry of Health and Social Development hosted a live demonstration of the Territory’s new 911 computer-aided dispatch system for Health and Social Development Minister Vincent O. Wheatley, Gov. Daniel Pruce, Acting Police Commissioner Jacqueline Vanterpool and Russell Jones, director of the 911 and Emergency Operations Centre, outlining how the platform that went live Sept. 11 is designed to speed response times and tighten coordination among fire, police and medical services.
Officials said the system integrates real-time GPS tracking, digital mapping and access to location data through Town and Country Planning’s GIS database, and enables instant cross-agency communication.
The showcase followed hands-on training in September for Fire Service officers, police and 911 personnel at the Emergency Operations Centre.
“The launch of this new 911 system gives our emergency teams the tools they need to respond faster and coordinate better,” Wheatley said.
“It was important for our leaders to see how the system works in real time,” Jones said. “This technology prioritizes accuracy, communication and speed.”
The ministry said it will continue investing in technology and training to strengthen public safety.
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.
