Acting Police Chief Lincoln Corbette addressing press conference<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A total of 39 police officers have been promoted to various ranks within the Dominica Police Force.<\/p>\n

Acting Chief of Police Lincoln Corbette reported during a recent press conference that the promotions were made by the police service commission and the Chief of Police.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe police service commission met on Tuesday [last week] and, based on the recommendations that were sent to them and also acting on their own deliberate judgement, promoted 19 officers in various ranks\u2026,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cInspector [Alleyne] Maximea has been promoted to the rank of ACP [Assistant Commissioner of Police]. So, we now have our full complement of ranks \u00a0from commissioner all the way down to the last corporal, some of them in acting capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201c So, Inspector Maximea, \u00a0as I said, is acting ACP until December 6 of this year. \u201c<\/p>\n

According to Corbette, two ASPs [Assistant Superintendent of Police] were also promoted to the rank of Superintendent, three inspectors to the rank of ASP, six sergeants to the rank of acting inspectors, and seven corporals to the rank of sergeant.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll these are in acting capacity,\u201d he stated. \u201cWe have also sent to the commission names for confirmation, and we expect in a short order that we will get those officers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, Corbette noted that he has appointed two officers to the position of corporal and 18 officers to acting corporal.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo that brings the total of 39 officers who have been promoted,\u201d he revealed.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Corbette said the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force (CDPF) is in the process of accepting new applications for entry to the police force.<\/p>\n

He urged men and women between the ages of 18 and 30 years, to apply.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe force is a very good place to work\u2026,\u201d he stated. \u201c Give us 10 years, 15 years, and move on if you have to, but we are really looking for people [of] good caliber, bright people to join the force.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A total of 39 police officers have been promoted to various ranks within the Dominica Police Force.
