Police Commissioner Fitz Bailey attended a service at Abundant Life Ministry on September 27, 2026, to discuss the shared mission between law enforcement and the church. By participating in the worship, he sought to emphasize the collaborative responsibility both institutions hold for safeguarding the people of the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Bailey and fellow officers participated in a service designed to foster community fellowship. He described policing as a commitment to service, a duty he noted is reinforced by their oath of office. Bailey praised the church’s social responsibility and its role in bringing diverse groups together. He stated, “The role of the church is about servanthood, serving people.” He argued that while police protect the public from violence, the church must address the spiritual component of society that law enforcement cannot reach alone.
The Commissioner expressed hope that this partnership between the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force and local religious institutions will persist. He emphasized that safeguarding the community requires ongoing cooperation between police and organizations that can combat issues beyond the reach of traditional law enforcement. He remains grateful for the opportunity to worship alongside members of the congregation.
