I am a 13+ year police officer (US native resident) looking to possibly make a move to the USVI area. Outside of the limited information provided by the USVI government and police websites, I am seeking anyone (USVI police officer preferred - one who has transferred from the states, if available) who has insider information concerning the police department in that area. I am looking for information such as general working conditions, hours and rotation requirements, specifics on the benefits package, etc. I have been in this business long enough to know that there is always more to everything than what is lead on to be. I will provide an email address for any leads provided. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

The pay is very low. I had a friend who used to be a police officer in the States who said she'd never join here because the fellow officers wouldn't watch your back the way they would in the States since she was an outsider. That may just have been her opinion but it probably made sense. This was maybe 10 years ago but I doubt much has changed.

If you've not visited the USVI, you need to come down for a couple of weeks and check it out for yourself. While you're here you can go into recruiting/personnel at the police and get some info..
