National Security Minister Robert Montague is promising that the country will see fundamental changes in the Government’s fight against crime during the course of 2017.

“It won’t be business as usual, it will be business unusual. Yes, 2016 had its challenges, but I am happier and excited about 2017,” he said. “This is the year... when changes are going to come. It is the year when we are going to confront some things, talk some truths and make some people uncomfortable. We are going to disrupt some criminal forces. Dutty criminal going run weh.”
Montague then listed some of the proposed initiatives. “The Government is going to acquire 200 more police vehicles, as well as the procurement of two boats to patrol the nation’s coastline, which is to come on stream by January 21, plus a surveillance plane will be purchased later down in the year to help patrol the coastline.
“The south coast will be given top priority with the establishment of marine posts in Old Harbour and Alligator Pond.
“There will be an expansion of the CCTV (Close Circuit Television) network across the island and the plan is to integrate them all into one system. The system is already in four towns and more cameras will be coming soon. We are also going to be establishing a national backroom so that private persons with CCTVs can send in their feed to the police and we are going to put in a video analytic suite so that we can do facial recognition, geo-fencing and licence plate reading, so that you can know when last you see a man and where him turn up and what he was wearing,” Minister Montague said.
He indicated that the Government will invest heavily in intelligence, which he stated must lead the operations of the security forces. He then announced that 40 members of the police force will be sent to Cuba to be trained. more

MATH PUZZLE : Here's The Answer To That Fruit Math Puzzle That's Driving Everyone Coconuts.... What's half a coconut plus one apple plus three bananas? Is the answer 12, 14, 16, 18 or 20. Go to www.RulaBrownNetwork.com for the correct answer.

 02/18/2016 02:01 am ET It's one of those Facebook posts that's all over the place, and -- like " the dress " or the  hidden panda  -- everyone seems to have a different take on it.  What is half a coconut plus one apple plus three bananas?  On the surface, it would seem the apple has a value of 10, the bananas a value of four and the coconut a value of two. And if that were the end of the story, the answer would be 2 + 10 + 4 = 16.  But in the final frame, the fruit are slightly different.  There is half a coconut, instead of two halves in the earlier example equation that establishes a value of two. And instead of the four bananas representing the value of four, there are just three bananas.  If the numbers are reduced along with the portions of fruit, you get a totally different answer: 1 + 10 + 3 = 14.   Which is the correct answer? Like the dress, the answer is in how you see it.... See Rula Brown'...
