One could make the case that Akeem Frett becoming an officer with the Jamestown Police Department is simply a career-minded journey coming full circle.
Born and raised in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Frett looked up to his stepfather, a police officer, before coming to New York where he studied criminal justice at Monroe College. He returned to the Virgin Islands upon graduation, and two years later — in 2010 — he became an officer himself with the chief law enforcement provider within the organized territory.
