As four of these recruits recently graduated from the Police Cadet Programme, Inspector Charlene Thompson Officer in Charge of Training, Recruiting and Development says she has no doubt that she will see all 15 recruits remain at the end of the course. “It’s a life-changing experience,” she said. “They’ve all come with the will and determination to succeed.”


All incidents are under investigation. Police are appealing to members of the public who have witnessed these incidents or may have information pertaining to them to contact their respective Police Station, Police Headquarters at 295-0011 or the confidential Crimestoppers Hotline on 1 (800) 623-8477.
