Not so fast!

LESS THAN 24 hours  after the removal of Commissioner of Police (COP) Darwin Dottin,  the acting Deputy COP Seymour Cumberbatch is asking the High Court for an injunction  to halt any attempt  to fill the post  of Deputy Commissioner.
In documents filed in the High Court yesterday against the Attorney General and the Police Service Commission (PSC), Cumberbatch is urging the suspension of a process aimed at filling the vacancy of the number  two post in the Royal Barbados Police Force.
“We consider that the action over the last 24 hours is a viciously cynical interference with that process for selection  of the Deputy Commissioner of Police,” Cumberbatch’s attorney Ralph Thorne, QC told  the MIDWEEK  NATION yesterday.
“We also consider  that the process has  been so traumatized  by the removal of the Commissioner of Police that it has caused  a fracture that deprives Mr Cumberbatch of his right to enjoy a process that is consistent, transparent, objective,  fair and impartial,  and until the necessary procedural propriety revisits the process  for selection, then  it must not be allowed  to continue.”
