As a happily retired United States police officer living in Bonaire, I’d like to comment on the KPCN story.
Removing the ability of off-duty officers to remain armed is a terrible policy. Officers must be prepared to intervene to protect others (including themselves) even during an off-duty status. The 2 incidents involving KPCN officers being involved in fights and public drunkenness speaks to a discipline issue in the Corps which needs to be addressed with robust internal investigations, public prosecutions, and/or terminations.
This Isidor Lo-A-Njoe admits in the radio interview of an issue of daily incidents. Preventing officers from being able to 100% carry out their sworn duties is bad policy.
