Top cop condemns police officers who associate with questionable persons

Carrette

Police Chief Cyril Carrette has condemned police officers who associate with persons of questionable characters describing it as ‘lamentable.’

He was speaking at a police panel discussion on Wednesday evening.

As part of the discussion, under the topic “Policing,  A Job or a Way of Life”, Magistrate Candia Carrette George pointed to incidents she had witnessed where because of sloppy police work and sometimes collusion between officers and accused persons, these accused persons are represented in court as first time offenders when in fact they had been sentenced before.

Though he was not slated to speak the top cop spoke briefly condemning such acts by the police.

Carrette said, “It’s lamentable when I sit here and listen to the utterances of the magistrate and a lot of officers here see that, where police officers will find themselves in the presence of persons they’re supposed to show regard to and disregard those persons and we talk about promotion and de-motivation. The persons who do that most likely do not get promoted. And it’s not because of the Chief of Police or the Commission but because of divine intervention and when you do those things people see you.”

The Commissioner urged all officers in attendance, including the Force’s new class of recruits, to guard against the pursuit of money over good, honest police work, indicating that serving well should be
the motivation behind the quality of their work.

He stated, “There are a few persons who, instead of focusing on the work at hand, focus on money, like mercenaries. If you are passionateabout the job you are doing, you are going do it in spite of promotion or pay.  I can remember working in Portsmouth, there was none there but I formulated Coast Guard there. We risked our lives. I never asked for a dime. Today in this Police Force, everything that everybody does they want a payment for it.”

Carrette continued by reminding the officers that professionalism, morality and production would be the key elements guaranteeing their promotions up the ranks and that ambition must be kept in check by those virtues, lest one compromises themselves for money.

“Instead of going there and prove yourself as reliable, as responsible, warranting a reward, you go there and the first thing you do is you ask for money. If the first thing you want is money is only
money you seeing and what will happen eventually, you might fall for money. And that’s the reason why, you find sometimes that the level of morality goes down, the level of professionalism goes down, because all you are seeing is money. Please take heed of what was said here because people on the outside are watching us. Do whatever you are doing and ensure that it is done properly. Production will give you promotion, ” he concluded.

    Hmmm u want police officers to be honest when they are required to put their life at risk without proper pay or incentive at least… r u crazy? don’t sit at the top and talk about pay mr carrette… u want a person to do a good job then pay and treat them fairly. also u speak of police officers associating with people of questionable character….when there are officers working for ‘criminals’ how do u determine who is and is not of questionable character? It hurts me as a Dominican to hear a top ranking “educated” man speak such rubbish!!!!Fix the dam police system and stop worrying about how it looks when people see officers doing certain things…if the officers were properly trained to collect and present evidence,then the people of questionable character would not be on the street!!!!!

      Look (Scope) I do not know where you from or where you are but Yes, we have a professional Police force. There are bad apples in every Police Department. There is nothing wrong in trying to help our Police Officers to do a better job, be more professional and serve our community. I was born in Dominica and I spent twenty four years in Law Enforcement in New York City. I have witnessed worst curruption in NYPD than just associating with known criminal.

    I am an ex-cop, and I know it’s a different time now, but none the less a police officer is a person who was hired to uphold the law at all times.Regardless of his affiliations with friends, family, or otherwise he should always set good examples. Now when I was a cop,I had friends before I joined the force, but once I became a cop,the first thing I told my friends was this, ” We are still friends, but once they see me in that uniform respect is due and if they could not acknowledge that then the friendship had to end because my job came first.”

    I can put hand on heart and say most police officers in most villages are best friends with the main drug dealers they are meant to be liking out for. Whether it is their game to get info or not, it is disgusting to see. Police drinking with the most dangerous of people and yet harassing others that make minor mistakes rather than speaking to them. To me, apart from in Roseau, because that is where to head quarters is situated, Dominica has no police. Only in roseau

      @ The truth

      Dominica being a small island, practically every one knows every one. This cannot be prevented. What the Police should do, consider their status and not to personally associate with them. Period!

    October 8, 2011

    There is a time to be fair and just. Whatever anyone thinks indifferently about the Police Chief’s statements, he has a duty to perform and he is to be respected. This duty is to instruct the Police Officers who are under his jurisdiction. Their performance and lack of it will reflect on him.
    I endorse his words. I will not analyze and parse them. There are some things we need to let pass.
    Too often specifically in this era employees are only concerned about their salary, the amount of money that they will be paid and are not dedicated workers. They do not serve well in the capacity which they hold.
    Dominica, as any other nation is in dire need of dedicated Police Officers if crimes are to be stamped out.
    Police Officers should not personally associate with people of questionable character. This means to keep company with them. They will be suspect and probably of what they are not guilty of. They should rise above that as people who serve the public, to serve and protect.
    There is always an exception. For instance they may have relatives and friends who are of questionable character. This does not mean they cannot speak to them and be amicable but at no time should they seek them out by discussing and providing them with relevant information, also taking bribes from them and compromising their position.
    There is such a code as “an Oath of Fidelity.” In other words at no time should they discuss their work or offer relevant advice and instructions to those people. They must always remain neutral as Police Officers. They could go so far as to inform and remind such people who may seek their advice that they are Police Officers and that it is against their profession to divulge information pertaining to their cases.
    Police Officers are to conduct themselves with dignity and respect. The general public of specifically law-abiding citizens/nationals expect this of them. Need I state more and be more explicit?

      Hi, it is not that difficult to understand. I have read a number of post on the Police Commissioner and I have concluded that he is not a good communicator. There is a related article and the person who seems to be best prepared was Officer Jacquin. Also remember he was appearing at a Panel Discussion on wether Policing is a Job or a Way Of Life. He should have known that he might have to speak therefore he should have been prepared because he is the highest ranking member of the Police Department. The article said he was not slated to speak therefore we can assume that he did not have a pre-prepared statement. The Police Commissioner should be able to articulate his Department Policy on any aspect of Policing even if he was not suppose to speak. I very surprise that he would appear at a Panel to discuss policing and he did not expect to speak. Mr Carrett you are the Police Commission and I assume that you set the policies for your department. To answer your question. The paragraph is a little confussing but if you read the related article you will get a better understanding of what transpired at the panel discussion. Good Luck.

      but i still do not understand the part about persons disregarding persons and talking about promotions..seems like someone is saying you better lick my ass/suck up to me or else

      For those of us in the diaspora(USA) who listen to Science Friday every friday must have heard of science experiments on that program yesterday.There a scientist concluded from his experiments one can get a monkey to do anything for a taste of juice.What ever juice may represent for different monkeys.( Monkey Savarein was talking to defend his boss got seek and monkey Tony alias Pasawed defended him bystating he had an import phone call.That important phone call had monkey Charles in urgent surgery in a martinique hospital.The monkey now is unable to talk after talk excssively from 1977 non-stop.Once a moomoo began talking post Mamo’s death according to the 3rd Eye.Now this carnival are we going to hear the Chatterbox moomoo from the pen of Pat and sang by the 3rd eye?) Get my drift?For those of us who listen and listened yesterday it was funny indeed.

    Well I am stunned by the Police Commissioner comments in that if an Officer is currupted they will not be promoted or devine intervention is required . Mr Carrett don’t you have an Internal Affairs Bureau to investigate Officer who is associating with known criminal or taking bribes to perform their duties. I am not sure if the Magistrate is related to you but it seems that she do not know how to report curruption. I am certain that the Dominica Government has an Inspector General or a Department of Investigation which should investigate curruption within any government agency. Mr Carrett if your Department do not have an Internal Affairs Bureau I suggest that you form such unit and give them the authority to investigate curruption within the Police Department. Mr Carrett I spent twenty four years with NYPD and I was a supervisor in the Internal Affairs Bureau where I forcced twenty two Officer to resigned because I caught them associating with known criminals. So please investigate such curruption because it is destroying the citizens confidence in your department. ( Love from NY).

You cannot be an effective commissioner if all you are doing is observing that there is association with known criminals on the part of known police officers and all you are doing is talking about it and taking no action!!!!!!!!!!! Any officers suspected of such activity should be investigated and at the least, sactioned and at the worst, fired and/or imprisoned!!!!!!!!!!

    These people are just ridiculous. Just running their mouth and blaming people for their failure to uphold justice in this country. If the magistrate would have seen collusion between the police and accused persons, it was her duty to make a formal complaint to the commissioner of police. She neglected her duty in ensuring that justice is met and goes on a show making up things for conversation. The commissioner of police is now hearing of this incident? What a shame.

    There are going to be bad eggs in all profession and the police aren’t exempted. Who is the bad egg in the magistracy? They all must thing before they speak and just as sloppy as the people that they are accusing.

That explain her statement because she did not want to embarassed her father, therefore she did not report the curruption between Officers and Perpetrators she said she witnessed. This kind of behavior is destroying Dominica and denying our citizens justice. I hope the Government has an Inspector General Office which should investigate this Judge for Willful Failure to report Corruption because this Judge has failed us all.

  25. As it is

    The human being is mainly different from the other class of animals because of their ability to reason. Have all Dominicans lost their reason? many or some Dominicans?

    Pawol en Bouche say Pas Met.

    The Chief Magistrate signed and issued a warrant to arrest a certain lawyer. Another Lawyer Emanuel had filed 42 charges against him. That warrant was sent by the Court to the police to execute. The lawyer was never arrested. Carrette who was Ag. Chief at the time, told us and the world that, he was out of state and so the arrest could not be made. Up to now NO ARREST. The court’s orders were disobeyed by the very same people who are responsible to protect and uphold the law.

    Is not the first time. At the Marigot Police Station, missing funds, but nothing. Unlicensed gun was given back to “Bubbles” in the intimidation case, after being ordered to do so. Nothing happened.

    Wasn’t it Carrette who told Dominicans that the police would be doing all that it could to get “SECO” back to Dominica to be interviewed about the firebombing of Emanuel’s home? What was the latest bomb shell? Dominicans were shocked to hear Carette’s latest Yo-Yoing.

    Tony Astaphan interviewed “SECO” from out of State on his radio programme. But police looking to get “SECO” back. “SECO” was allowed, on that programme, to deny having any involvement in that heinous criminal act on the life of Emanuel. Those inexplicit comments and conclusions made by the Chief has been very suspicious on that crime which is, we suppose, still being investigated.

    The Chief himself has been found wanting on many occasions. The Constitution, the State should come first to protect, not a FEW friends in Political office,or A few with Money and other assets. Partisan politics and influence is tearing the Police Force apart. Protection of a Few in power by all means possible. That move is aided and abetted from within and without.

    what I think Mr. Carrette was trying to articulate is that officers should take initiative and do things which will show their commitement to the job. Present ideas, get involve with community efforts, initiative youth programs or promote school morale boosting lectures etc. When he was an officer in my community he was one of the most committed officer to police there. I am absolutely not surprise to see that he is at the level he is at now. The point is those who show interest move up and those who remain relax and accept medioricty will remain at the lower level.

    Every officer might have a family member who may be involve with criminal activity but the office relationship with that individual should be one to condone the wrong this person or persons are doing. The key is to relate but not associate.

    the mentality that the officer should protect the family member who is unlawful, is not acceptable. The Chief will have to start weeding out the thorns among the roses.

    You guys are talking a good talk now, but wait until you or your family are a victim of crime and the police mess it up because they and the criminals in complo, you will be the first to start bawling how corrupt the police are.

    One can never win with you people. If you swer to uphold the law, there are certain standard you must set for yourself. The chief was not implying that one must not talk to his family members of past friends. Police have to associate with the scum of society all the time because very often they have the clues to an investigation and can be of tremendous help to the police. But as a police officer, you have to be mindful of the friends you keep.

    You cannot be fraternizing with the criminal element on Sunday and on Monday put on a uniform to fight the same criminal. You will compromise your position if you mingle with those sorts of people. That is what I took from the commissioner’s statement.

    You have lost your usefulness, “you once had it I must say”, but something is clouding your judgement and as such you should leave so that “Esprit de Corps” can return in the force.
    There are too many young and inexperience Coporals and Sergeants who do not know the basics about procecution. So how can cases be solved>>?? You can promote politically leaning officers, ya?? but in the end the work has to be done.

    From what I can tell most of the police officers themselves are living dishonourable (adulterous)lives and so they are very poor role models. If they cannot live by and uphold God’s laws, then they are not fit or able to police anyone else. Birds of a feather … :-?

    no one should tell an adult who they should associative with…but how can someone who is supposed to enforce the law be bosom buddy with PROFESSIONAL CRIMINAL…you have to make a choice man….if I’m a police officer and I’m good friends with a drug trafficker i would be tempted to tell him if the police were gonna raid his house..it’s natural

      So I guess the commissioner himself must avoid being seen in the presence of “certain” high level people then? What about when the police is mandated to provide security to some people by the nature of that person’s job and the very person they are protecting is a known criminal? Can the officer refuse to perform such duties and not get fired? Please tell me Mr. Carrette you just open the door for you to be cross examined.

      You do know that your job is to upholdd the law right? So if you are a police officer and you witness a family member committing an illegal act – it is your duty to arrest that person. Granted, you may not want to do your duty…but it is your duty to do so.

      So if your family involved in illegal acts- do your due diligence and warn them, but if they have the effrontry to do those acts infront of you – then you should have the balls to do your job… otherwise… you will fail in your responsibility

        Of course I know what my job is and will not hesitate to arrest my family for doing wrong (and trying to make me look bad) but should i just cut them off because they are on the opposite side of where i stand?

      Sir, in that case you can not be an officer of the law, obviously!

      my friend i don’t think he meant it in that context.everyone has a friend but you need to know your bounderies and the respect for your job.there are some officers who get into the force especially theses days they don’t know how and with a don’t care attitude associate themselves with questionable characters anmd you ask yourself why.

    Carrette said, “It’s lamentable when I sit here and listen to the utterances of the magistrate and a lot of officers here see that, where police officers will find themselves in the presence of persons they’re supposed to show regard to and disregard those persons and we talk about promotion and de-motivation. The persons who do that most likely do not get promoted. And it’s not because of the Chief of Police or the Commission but because of divine intervention and when you do those things people see you.” CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS PARAGRAPH PLEASE…

      IS CARRETTE TRYING TO PREACH HATRED. IF A MAN CHOSES TO BE A POLICE AND HIS FRIEND FROM FIRST TO FITH FORM BECOMES A DRUG MAN SHOULD HE JUST HATE THIS MAN TOTALLY BECAUSE HE CHOSE A DIFERENT WAY OF LIFE? LIFE IS BIGGER THAN THAT HE OFFICER SHOULD KNOH HIS BOUNDRIES BUT HATRED IS OUT OF THE PICTURE HERE.BEFORE THEY REFUSE TO PROMOTE THIS MAN BASED ON MERE ALLEGATION THE FORCE MUST INVESTIGATE HIM FIRST.

    human being will take advantage wherever an opportunity exist….that’s the main reason why people steal….JUST BECAUSE THE OPPORTUNITY EXIST…so while it is in fact beneficial to teach and remind individuals about proper ethics…. controls must be put in place to ensure that rules are being followed…..i did not read that part….telling them of the consequences of unethical behavior… HEY IF YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH IT WHY NOT DO IT….seems like nothing is going to be done about the sloppy police work that you were made aware of…

      Isn’t that just what is happening with the two top guys in court right now. They figured they could get away with it because Green got away with it. Good thing we have people not in the govt (as they would still protect them)watching and giving us the truth.

    Carrette is speaking absolute crap…is he serious? really? Officers shouldn’t demand money for their work? Apparently the love of doing your job will feed your kids… :?: smh .

    Caret needs to change that 60’s mind frame. CDPF promoted community policeing and now the comissioner is requesting the disassociation of a selected number of the population. If they are guilty of a crime have them arrested.
