Policing involves a lot of things, but judging innocence or guilt is not one_of them.
That reminder came yesterday evening from Director of Public Prosecutions Donna Babb-Agard during her address at the 141st Passing Out Parade for Recruits from the Royal Anguilla Police Force, held at the Regional Police Training Centre, Paragon, Christ Church.
Babb-Agard also urged them to let their character be their guide when challenges and temptations come years down the road.
“It is not your job to judge innocence or guilt when you start this career. That is for either a judge or jury. . . .What may happen 15 years down the road when you may be overworked and under-paid, when nobody appreciates the functions and role of a police officer in your country? What will your character be then? I would encourage you to remember this day when your goals are clear, when you know what the esteemed organisation for which you studied and trained hard represents,”_she said. (YB)
