A UK-funded adviser is helping the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) improve its operations, including officer communications, digital forensics and support for vulnerable people.
HM Governor’s Office introduced Clare Jenkins in a Facebook post on Monday, October 12, outlining her work alongside the Acting Commissioner and senior leadership team. The post did not state when she began the role or how long her assignment would last.
The RVIPF is in the process of recruiting a new Commissioner of Police.
Jenkins brings 33 years of experience with Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, where she served in roles including Acting Assistant Chief Constable.
Her work with the RVIPF includes developing a new Strategic Assessment and future operating model, alongside improvements in safeguarding and analytical capability.
The introduction of a new radio system is a project she considers particularly important.
“An effective communications system is vital for officer safety, particularly in the Sister Islands, and will help officers respond more quickly when people need them,” Jenkins said.
She is also the British Overseas Territories lead on Violence Against Women and Girls and is working with local safeguarding professionals to strengthen support for vulnerable people across the Territory.
According to the Governor’s Office, Jenkins takes particular pride in practical improvements that help officers carry out their daily duties, including ensuring those serving in Anegada have the facilities and equipment they need.
“I genuinely care about the people who work in the RVIPF and want to help them succeed to the best of my ability,” she said.
Outside work, Jenkins enjoys exploring the Territory’s hiking trails, swimming and snorkelling.
