FORMER CHAIRMAN of the Police Service Commission (PSC), Dr Trevor Carmichael, who is now an Independent Senator, said yesterday that the Royal Barbados Police Force should adopt a mediation process to arrest any matter that threatened to get out of hand.
His comments came in the Senate in light of the current controversy surrounding the PSC’s recommendation to Governor General Sir Elliott Belgrave that Commissioner of Police Darwin Dottin be retired in the public’s interest.
Carmichael spoke during debate on the Police Complaints Authority (Validation) Bill 2013.
Observing that the bill took on a special dimension given the recent developments, Carmichael said the Police Force should not be taken lightly.
