We got excuses 18 months ago of no money when we asked for more police protection on AC ...... but when a viable suggestion (BDF patrols) was made directly to the PM, it was met with an "Ok - yea we can do that". And GoB came through - it took a lot of private sector support and co-ordination (Rebecca, Tim, Cal and Amanda, Legacy, Captain Morgan's, and others deserve standing ovations for their contributions)
--- BUT the base/oversight of the operation was/is from GoB
BEcause of that, this program is now part of our infrastructure.
The brainstorming may yield some ideas about how to work with what we have - including existing budgets and personnel. If you keep that in mind something is more likely to happen.
