Carbon told DNO that he wants to ensure that the police force goes in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He said even as a young constable his fellow officers and superiors had a lot of confidence in him, advising him to \u201cstay focused\u201d and so he did just that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI was nurtured and when I joined the force it was a sharp unit then \u2026 I served under various commissioners. Simon Darroux was very instrumental in my career development and also Antoine Defoe who guided me and ensured that I did my work in a very professional manner,\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carbon is married and considers both St Joseph and Vieille Case his home. He explained that he was born in St. Joseph but at six months old his mother moved to Vieille Case. Carbon attended the Portsmouth Secondary School (PSS) and joined the Dominica Police Force in 1985 after graduating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police Chief Daniel Carbon will proceed on pre-retirement leave at the end of this year.
