Police Chief, Daniel Carbon, has reportedly summoned executive members of the Police Welfare Association (PWA) to an urgent meeting in his office to address, according to him, an alleged conspiracy to plan subversion by its members.
Sources have reliably informed Dominica News Online that the meeting is expected to take place on Wednesday, March 22.
According to the sources, Carbon has threatened to arrest police officers who are involved in the alleged subversion.
The sources stated that the Chief of Police said he has been reliably informed by intelligence officers that members of the force have hatched a plan to commit some illegal acts and he intends to take action.
The sources say that as the news of the threat by the Chief is spreading within the force, members are disturbed and are asking him to prove the allegation.
DNO is following this developing story and will publish further information as it becomes available.
If one wants to read so much crap just follow workers Kangaroo club supporters comments on DNO,Facebook and Twitter, I have always say I am not the sharpest tool in the box but Workers Kangaroo club and supporters really freak me out……..please stop the world and let me out of here!
Some of you do not appreciate what I stated? I am aware that people as you do not like the truth to be told. Your opposition does not make me wrong. It does not make you correct. One day the truth will unfold to you and you will realize your error. I will keep stating the truth.
This is not a competition; no awards are given. It is simply everyone providing their views. It should be a means of amicable discussion. It is not meant to create discord and enmity between fellow Dominicans but simply a discourse which should end in, “free to agree and disagree.” However, know the difference of what is right and what is wrong. Some need to learn that.
I follow one way. It is the way of discipline, of truth. I want what is best for everyone and for Dominica. This should be the trait of all Christians with no exception.
If we do that we will be happy and peaceful, able to generate it to others.
Police officers had more respect for former Police Commissioner Cyril Carrette.
Carbon look sick or is it just my eye sight?
one day at a time sweet jesus, thats all am asking from you.
This police chief is a “yes man” who can’t even defend his staff.He allows the Portsmouth police station to become uninhabitable, almost, before he secured the necessary assistance to get his men decent living conditions.What a joker,now he wants to intimidate the representatives for the rank and file officers.Keep on dancing to the political tunes, however all things must come to an end and I hope your tenure as chief ends soon
DNO, do you realize the damage you are causing? Your unsubstantiated allegations is never corrected. You publication is pure garbage. You have made our peaceful country look like a place of lawlessness, which isn’t true. YOUR unfounded biasness is deplorable. DNO what are you benefiting from such childish behaviors. Again, if a blog doesn’t favor your political ideology it will not be printed. It shamefully that you decimating the word Dominica. It doesn’t matter whether you publish my blog. There is one who searches the hearts.
Stupes! Grow up!
ummm you post/comment is not a blog to begin with
ALLU KEEP TRYING TO HIDE THE CRAZY GOING ON IN DOMINICA and giving the impression is love for country….instead I recommend you be honest about it and say I LOVE MY PM…
please point out which parts is unfounded and garbage.
To allow you garbage to go through,DNO is indeed professional.
What’s your point? Are you denying the events took place? If so, say that. Otherwise your comments read as if you believe DNO should not post the article?
Paranoia at the highest level.
What is this big issue? Policemen meet all the time, come on stop acting as if there is a problem with the Commissioner meeting with his staff to discuss issues of relevance ………………………. ARE YOU PEOPLE REALLY SO NARROW MINDED??????
Do you all believe that this is the only island where Police Chiefs meet with their staff to discuss subversion etc????
You sure your name is not Mills?
In the Mighty Name of Jesus let the day parlaying continue. Yes Lord You are Marvelous beyond description. People keep the prayers coming
the NJIC is a reginal enforcement department solely created for drug enforcement. i can say that no one working at the NJIC right now was trained for that specific purpose… the managers were the commissioner and comptroller of customs.
in 2004 skerrit single handedly remove all officers and put his own making himself personally responsible for the officers and officers report directly to him…. it would be interested to let the region’s NJCC know what is going on… because they spy on police, opposition, civil servants, business people and people who have no drug affiliated threats to dominica
Well well well sa moi duvant sa zor deye
All polititians and official bodies such as the police fear one thing. INK you can alledge you say what you wish to but when solid evidence is demonstrated in INK that is what makes them nervous, and there is a lot of solid evidence in INK and that can not be spun away ever, If a Police man knows that those up high have been comitting wrongdoing what are they to do, turn the other cheek through fear and intimidation or do the job they are by oath bound to perform. no dilemma hear at all. Policemen do your job or resign
One can also ask whether the information reaching Mr. Carbon came out of the findings of the regional investigators? Did that information came out of a finding indicating a reluctance on the part of the police to bring in the Leader of the Opposition for questioning on his role in the Roseau Riots on February 7th 2017? Is this alleged “subvertive” activity a development that is associated with D-Day 2 coming up next week?
Evidence! evidence! Mr. Carbon must know that he cannot make any such charge against his men without evidence. Else he will be playing with fire. He must present the evidence and act decisively on it. Wherever the truth stands in this matter, it has to be a worrying development for the security of the State. In 1980, soon after taking office, the DFP government had to disarm the Defense Force as it was determined then that their loyalty was not with the government. But rather with a party. When that happened there was the police to fall in line. Soon enough we had a Special Services Unit within the police force. So this perhaps is deja vue. Its very interesting that a common thread exist throughout the comments. People are asking for evidence. It should be noted too that, the Commissioner called for a private meeting with his troops – in house. Who leaked the information – date and time to the media? The Commissioner or dissenting members of the PWA? That too is a form of subversion.
“A senior gazette officer.”
What is a senior gazette officer: how do you define that in another English language different to Dominica English.
In international English language, derived from Latin, we define the word “Gazette” as “a newspaper, or an official journal; that word was first used in 1598. A gazette such as a government gazette is utilized to announce the appointments or other government information in writing!
So, perhaps a senior gazette might mean the editor or some one like that, if you try to define that in any other term you would be talking nonsense.
The purge is about to start. Time to get rid of those policemen who are independent thinkers, who might not be willing to walk in step, or might want to stick to the rule of law, and favor equal application of the law.
In a real Country that Commish should just resign He getting paranoid
Maybe He is getting Trumped meaning that the Political Heads are forcing Him to find evidence that does not exist and the lower ranks are expressing their dissatisfaction and at the same time are negotiating a salary increase with a zero zero zero response from the Politicians
In 1979 The Ayatollah (Charles Angelo Savarin) said that “The Police shall not work” He Charlo was looking for 120% salary increase while He was the head of the Civil Service Union.Zero Zero Zero while He was Minister of Labour ,Zero zero zero while He was Minister of Security and now He is President.Are the Laws of Karma ready to strike? Whatever You sow so shall Ye reap!
“The sources stated that the Chief of Police said he has been reliably informed by intelligence officers that members of the force have hatched a plan to commit some illegal acts and he intends to take action.”
Could the investigative journalists out there find out for the reading public whether the intelligence officers who ‘reliably’ informed the Chief of Police about this latest supposed plan of subversion were the same intelligence officers who informed Skerrit that some people with the assistance of an unarmed dump truck had attempted to overthrow him the other day dere.
Should the investigative journalists dem find out that it is the same intelligence officers involved in both instances, could they also find out if these intelligence officers are of the dotish kind. Tenks.
Skerrit wants to be like Erdogan of Turkey.
People in high places seeing things that’s not there, in less than two months? PARANOID, one word.
why are they crying wolf when there is no wolf, I am pretty certain they cannot handle a real wolf. Take a look at some of them and you will see a bunch of cowards, I hope the wolf never comes so that our country can remain nice.
Deflection , Deflection and more Deflection to cover the eyes and ears of the not so smart or intelligent.
Dominica is small. Nothing is hidden and by no means forever. Know that, there is no smoke without fire.
The Chief of Police has a reason for calling this meeting. I have read what some stated about the police. They have their political views. They should know they are employed to serve the government and the people and should not get involved in political matters. This means, to be neutral; not to take sides. If they are foolish to do otherwise, they will bear the consequences and pay the price.
Those who do not enjoy policing, get out of it. There are others who will be happy to respectfully and diligently perform this job.
Looks like Mercury, smells like Mercury, tastes like Mercury.
Just the beginning of “strategic communication and media relations consulting” operations paid for by our Gov’t. There’s more to come, but they will soon find out that these US tactics tend to backfire in small countries like Dominica.
The first emperor of unified China, Qin Shi Huang, it is reported, died of ingesting mercury pills that were intended to give him eternal life.
Whatever gies on two legs is an enemy, whatever given on 4 legs is a friend. (Animal Farm). It seems this story has more legs that can be counted at this time. Does anybody smell the forced transfers or resignations?
Mr Carbon,was it a coup?Was there any stalled truck with speakers outside of the police station..The police is a FAILED institution….There should be an enquiry into the running of this failed Dominican institution.
A senior gazette officer should be assigned to investigate this as a matter of utmost urgency.
The cabalists are really living in fear. They are seeing threats everywhere even from their police.
Desparation by UWP who are hungrey for power by any means. Linton the full said he cannot wait for another election. What does that say and mean. But all who belong to the UWP cabalists will have to wait for another election for them to get another beating from Labour Power for another 5 years like it or not. WORKERS YOU ALL ARE FINISHED JUST ACCEPT AND MOVE ON LIKE ALL THE OTHER PARTIES IN THE PAST.
Police are realizing the agony of defeat. Because you have untrustworthy leadership. Let us see where we go with this.
DNO all i can say is be careful with FAKE NEWS!!!!! Before you print an allegation you should seek clarity from the source, in this case you have two, the Commissioner and the PWA….. You do not want to be the first and only medium to carry an unsubstantiated item that turns out to be fake, unless you have an ulterior motive!!!!!
I think you mean well so please don’t fall in TT web!!!!! In the mean time am waiting for further development on that story..
You a relative of Donald Trump?
The fake news was Skerrits coup which coup which was executed with a stalled truck with speakers..You accepted it as gospel truth,and even tried to be a judge passing sentence on people…WICKED and EVIL some of you are.

Subversion means overthrowing something, like a government or law, or it can mean corrupting someone’s personal morals, like making a vegetarian eat bacon by tricking her. The Latin root subvertere means “to turn from below,” and when you turn something on its head in a sneaky way, that’s subversion.
HMMMMMM. after the pm gave his version of the attempted coup, the police chief have his version of subversion also
LMFAO

Call back de investigators who.were here to investigate de PM idea of a coup!
Disarray among the police?/ I am not surprised..
I have said ad nauseam that the police in Dominica is a FAILED INSTITUTION…Too much POLITICS in the force..It was not so under other administrations…WE NEED A COMMISSION OF ENQUIRY,from head to toe.
LOL. Fight among yourselves for the bone, with the least amount of meat.
…
The purge has begun, and the police state era has officially arrived. Wait for details of proposed legislation from Napoleon that will seek to impose legality on this madness. There shall be no tears from me because we asked for it, and it was delivered to us. God Speed!
Come on Mr carbon wake up from your slumber don’t be like skeritt. Skeritt could not prove the coup I hope u prove yours.
This is just the beginning
Enlighten us DNO, what is the alleged subversion?
Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
So, what are you saying? Explain.
The true quote is ‘as above so below’ and it refers to the inter galactic wars (between the higher intelligence factions) that are ongoing in space and the war for the survival of the human species below on planet earth and the control of planet earth and its resources..
Question? Who are the member of the Police Service Commission as provided under the Constituition of Dominica?
“There shall be a Police Service Commission for Dominica which shall consist of- a chairman and a deputy chairman appointed by the President, acting in accordance with the advice of the Prime Minister; two members appointed by the President, acting in accordance with the advice of the Prime Minister, from amongst persons selected by the appropriate representative body; and not more than three other members appointed by the President, acting in accordance with the advice of the Prime Minister;
provided that the Prime Minister shall consult the Leader of the Opposition before tendering any advice to the President for the purposes of paragraph (b) or (c) of this subsection. The provisions of section 84 of this Constitution (other than subsections (1) and (15)) shall apply in relation to the Police Service Commission as they apply in relation to the Public Service Commission…
Here we go again another alleged conspiracy, this time by their own. During that meeting, I hope he discusses an increase of pay for the hard working police, maybe that is where the problem is.
Carbon is running scared, , he does not leave his office chair, if he did occasionally , he would have notice the situation of the Portsmouth police station, and the rest of the illegal stuff that is going on in Dominica, so he has to go also . I think police supervisors in Roseau don’t even visit the other police stations around the Island they should be doing surprise spot check all over the Island police stations.
Mr Carbon, Here are some matters which need to be addressed:
1- The alleged diplomatic passport sales.
2- The alleged involvement of the PM with international criminals.
3- The alleged beating of citizens by a minister of government.
4- The alleged hush monies and house given to one of those beaten.
5- The alleged celebration by a female minister when the beaten man implied he should have been beaten sooner.
6- The alleged evidence which the PM said he has in reference to the alleged failed coup recently.
7- The alleged US$30,000.00/month being paid by this government to a US firm for strategic consulting while civil servants are told there is no money.
The list goes on, but we know you won’t address these because he who pays the piper calls the tune, and you are only playing for your supper.

That’s not the point moron.
Then please tell us what IS the point genius.
Hymm belle beff, the wall are crumbling
This is just further proof that the government is governing in FEAR and these days if they hear a helicopter flying they feel is a coup. I guess they know and feel they deserve to be out so they just sounding an alarm even when their is no intelligence. They just in a panic mood so they hearing what no one ever said, ever thought of, or will ever happen.
first is a coup now this
This one is not a coup,its a SKULL!
Officers Lets not be divided. Do not allow intimidation to break our resolve. when they start speaking subversion and any other crap that looks like they are saying we are breaking the law in one way or the other, remain silent till our attorney is present. WE WILL NEVER BE POLITICAL, JUST NEED SPACE TO DO OUR WORK PROFESSIONALLY AND BE REWARDED BY MERIT. Its time this stops.
I hope that his ‘intelligence officers’ are not leading him along as the intelligence did to the PM about the planned coup.
Alas, where are we heading?
Woyyyeeeees……. oh so is the police that wanted to make the coup den
From the Royal Dominica Police Force to the Commonwealth of Dominica Police: How Politics destroyed this once respected and powerful institution.
You forgot now the DLP infiltrated force …….
There is nothing ROYAL about this police force.
This is the state that the labour party has brought the police service in Dominica. When politics take control of the police force that’s what happens.
The ship sinking slow. Those who can bail better do so. Fear is the devil at work. It will all come to a halt one day. Dominica is a toxic volcanoe that will blow a lid anytime soon. Like my grandfather use to say; watch and pray.
What is subversion????
Google it!
What appears to be going on is that Skeritt has His own Force within the Force and when the rest of the Force appears not to be going with His wishes He declares an attempted Coup.No evidence surfaces so now the Commish declares Subversion which pretty much means a coup
Carbon the Commissioner in Our Constitution has to act independently and Professionally .The Minister of Security cannot and should not direct You !When Your Investigators say there is no evidence You must accept failure to do so will cause Your men to lose faith in You .
Too many…. in the force, many politically-motivated. Time to weed them out and bring back professionalism to the force before it’s too late
Tell Carbon behave himself. Police taking action for their money and he want to arrest them. Why he didn’t arrest those that wasted the country’s resources by paying outside agencies to investigate coup . All that money plus what they paying mercury group can go towards Police salary. Wasting money , give ministers 50% raise and want Police to accept 0% 0%0% . The nerve of those
Prayer moves mountains!
ooh boy!!..trouble in house, or is this another conspiracy on suspicion of intent?..Gotta be careful either way..
On another related note, Carbon looks spent..can DNO put some shine on the man picture or maybe he needs a holiday..
Seems like someone is leaking out the chief’s movement or plans too. If I was him I would not even know who no trust. Being reliably informed by intelligence officers doesn’t always make their info reliable . If I was the chief I would take that info with a pinch of salt and becarefull how I proceed. This could be construed as an intimidation to the police welfare executives as they’re in.negotiations for a salary increase. Mr Carbon this may not be the best time to.meet with the executive.
Another scare tactic. Is it the same intelligence your PM had about the coup. This time the word is sugar coated to subversion. Same thing. Give me a break. Go solve real crimes.
I see a sinister plot to try and purge the police force of those who do not support the present political regime. Let’s wait and see but I’m afraid we are on our way to have a polticised police force. The civil service will be next. Animal farm has arrived.
Way papa ! Is dert! Look Magee in this sweet country. Somebody tell me where the big screen is so I can go and watch the movie. What a joke..
But what trouble those officers looking for for themselves there nuh?
They must be listening to Linton and his supporters. It looks like they are not interested in a decent job for their livelihood. What they sow, they will reap.
If that is the case, arrest and fire them!
hmmm
