Police investigation through 2011 has been good – Carrette

Carrette

There has been increase in the level of violence in Dominica but the Police Department says its investigations throughout the year have been good.

Several robberies have taken place this year, with the latest one at HHV Witchurch and Company in Portsmouth. Police have not yet disclosed
details of the incident or whether they have perpetrators; but said investigations are ongoing.

Police Chief Cyril Carrette has said 2011 has been a “good year” for police.

“I think the police have done a good job for the year,” he said, while warning against negative criticisms of police work.

“In every situation when it comes to investigation, you don’t investigate matters like you see happening on the television. That is show. You have to go down on the ground and get the evidence. You have to ensure that everything is done methodically,” Carrette stated.

The robbery at HHV Witchurch occurred Thursday night and follows what law officials have described as a recent spate of robberies on the island.

    We need more police on the beat, they need to enforece the law also. We also need a police rapid response unit who can respose to crime in quck time.

      Only in Dominica this could happen. We should have a Police complain commission where any indivdual who feel threaten or ill treated by a police officer can lodge a complain.

      I willl write the Pm on this matter.

    What is a long service award? Someone work for a period of time, this is a service. After that they retire right.What is all the hype? Give them a BIBLE and a pen and let go rest their weary bones.

    You must be singing a song for yourself. Just because you are the helm, you just want to say that investigations were good. Don’t praise yourself, let it be done for you, Mr. Carette.

    if you have to toot your own horn, then we have a problem there. Just do the work and let some else give you the kudos, don’t give it to yourself. This tells a whole lot about police work in DA and how they are viewed.
