Commissioner of Police Ellison Greenslade said he is not lost on how to fight crime and has a fair understanding of what the police should be doing, but said the police can not do it alone.

"When everybody else is losing their head, I believe that as the chief law enforcement officer in this country I should hold mine," said Greenslade in an interview with ZNS. "So I will try and choose my words carefully at each turn. And I can assure you we are fully active and we will continue to move those initiatives that continue to work.

"We are connected into the wider international community. I sit as commissioner at the very highest executive levels of law enforcement in the world."

Greenslade has not yet revealed the 2015 crime statistics or his 2016 policing plan. However, he said the police have not stopped working. He added that he knows what he's doing.

"I'm not sure that I'm lost," he said. "I have a fair understanding of what we should be doing, but I make the point that law enforcement and police officers cannot fix these problems that exist today in The Bahamas alone."

Last year ended with a record 149 murders, a 21 percent increase over 2014, which ended with 123 murders. There have been several calls for the police to reveal promised new crime fighting strategies.

Prime Minister Perry Christie said previously the strategies may impact people's freedom to move about. But Greenslade has yet to reveal how that strategy will be carried out. Over the past five years, Greenslade has revealed the details of his anti-crime plan in January.

Minister of National Security Dr. Bernard Nottage said in mid-January that the commissioner would reveal his plan within days.

Free National Movement (FNM) Deputy Leader Peter Turnquest said on Sunday there seems to be a disconnect between the government and the police force. In November, amid heightened concern about the murder count, Greenslade said it would continue to rise unless the government addresses the bail problem. He said the system was fundamentally flawed.
