The secretary of the Police Second Division association on Sunday rejected a call by Asst Commissioner of Police Fitzroy Fredericks for the executive of his association to resign, claiming Fredericks had no grounds to issue that call and should be disciplined for his statements.
Sgt Michael Seales made the statement with respect to comments made about the police promotions advisory board.
Last year the president of the association, Sgt Anand Ramesar wrote to Police Commissioner Dwayne Gibbs questioning the ethnic composition of board led by then chairman Deputy Police Commissioner Maurice Piggott who is now retired.
The association called on Gibbs to to disband the board because of the manner in which it conducted its affairs. However the commissioner refused.
The letter to Commissioner Gibbs was also made available to PSC Chairman Nizam Mohammed, Seales said. He added that his association is in full support of the statements made by Mohammed in Parliament and also stands by the association’s move to question the composition of the last promotions board.
Seales said two observers from the association who witnessed interviews by members of the board reported to the Association in December last year that two East Indian Sergeants who went before the board were ridiculed when they left the room.
He said the association objected to this and wrote Commissioner Gibbs on the matter because it felt the two Sergeants were not properly assessed. The association has the report of the two observers and is awaiting the disclosure of the merit list to find out where the two officers were placed.
