New PRO for police force

The Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force has a new public relations officer.

He is Acting Inspector Simon Edwards.

Police Superintendent Richmond Valentine said on state-owned DBS Radio this morning that Edwards will be “responsible to report on police-related matters that are newsworthy.”

He said Inspector Pelham Jno Baptiste who previously held that position, has been transferred to a police out district.

Jno Baptiste who, to a large extent, used WhatsApp to disseminate information to the media, said in a WhatsApp message recently that he had been transferred to the La Plaine police district.

    Why don’t mr Pelham tell the nation the truth why he was transferred. To every action is or was a reaction. And always remember to do good for good to follow you through.

    The entire Police Force hierarchy needs revamping. Also, the institution should not be used as a political football by any political party. Should be completely apolitical, free of all political influence. Promotion should be meritorious and no other extraneous factors should influence the upward mobility of any officer. Security and safety is the most critical issue of a country. The officers should be well trained, adequately equipped and highly motivated so that they would be ready for any eventuality at a moment s notice. The Police Force should be led by an intelligent, articulate, charismatic, fair-minded officer who cannot be influenced by political enticements.

      You are right. Remember the famous speech of Inspector Weeks. What made is worse for Weeks, it was very popular on Q95.
