Summary
Barbados’ new Police Commissioner, Sonia Boyce, is stepping into history as the first woman to lead the force — and the nation is watching closely. With crime surging and tourism on the line, she’s promised reform, accountability, and trust rebuilding. But locals say it’s not enough to just arrest more people — she must tackle the root causes: gun violence, drug abuse, and youth disengagement. Families are grieving, streets are scarier, and the economy depends on safety. The real test? Can she balance swift justice with long-term solutions — from school violence to job creation — to build a truly safer, more hopeful Barbados?
