Police & Security Update

Progress is being made-

1 - Sergeant Bullard is on the job. Those who have been in Treasure Cay since the early 1990’s remember him well as the most effective police presence ever. He is a full time employee of Treasure Cay Limited and lives in the Madeira Park Staff Apartments. He is actively patrolling the community both in the day and night. He has already intercepted a fellow at night who hand no business being here.

2 - The Gate House is Complete; new additional cameras have been installed.

3 - TCPOA was very pleased to award $1,000 to a good citizen for his help in the apprehension, arrest and conviction of a miscreant for breaking into an unoccupied home. The story was covered in the Abaconian. The award was the first under this program.

4 - Three arrested in boat theft. A boat stolen from a canal was recovered with the help of a GPS tracking device that had been installed. Three men were arrested and found in possession of items that linked them to previous thefts.

Continuing efforts-

1 - Treasure Cay limited along with help from Sergeant Bullard is recruiting staff for the Gate House and patrols. When complete there will be a staff to man the Gate House 24/7 and have night foot patrols.

2 - Reflective car stickers. More than 280 cars now have the reflective stickers that will help the security staff at the gate and on patrol identify vehicles owned by Treasure Cay residents.

3 - Photo identification tag equipment has been purchased to aid in the identification of workers who do not reside in Treasure Cay. All contractors and employers have been notified of this requirement. Homeowners will also have to provide identification for their employees.

4 - Treasure Cay Limited has sent letters to all the developers currently working in Treasure Cay asking them to contribute to the capital cost of the security program. Currently only Treasure Cay and the Bahamas Beach Club are funding the project.

5 - The last bi-weekly security meeting (1/21) was attended by all the Villa and Condo Association heads. There was strong support for the program and universal opinion that the key to success was 24/7 staffing of the Gate House with conscientious employees.
