This is the juncture, where this paragraph has been dedicated to \u2018former Commissioner of Police, Vere Browne\u2019 for his firmness and decisiveness in attempting to eliminate \u2018Fraudulent Conduct\u2019 in his subordinates. Much more than the author, he is professionally and administratively-better positioned to say, if any former Subordinates, now hold positions on the august body called the \u2018Police Service Commission (PSC).\u2019<\/p>\n<p>PERISHING WRATH OF VICTIMIZATION<\/p>\n<p>There were no conversations, neither with past, nor the \u2018actively-serving Commissioner.\u2019 Thus, the contents do not necessarily reflect his personal or official views, nor the membership of the \u2018Police and Fire Services.\u2019 Those under the \u2018Perishing Wrath of Victimization,\u2019 may so adopt. In spite of his administrative predicament, \u2018Commissioner of Police, Atlee Rodney QPM,\u2019 reading this commentary, shall be reminded of some developments within the \u2018Police Service.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>FIERY FLAME: TRAGIC\/UNTIMELY<\/p>\n<p>Likened to a spark that had ignited into a \u2018Fiery Flame,\u2019 the deaths of; (i) \u2018Corporal Clifton Common; and (ii) Senior Sergeant John Pelle,\u2019 have sparked a flame of disdain. Such became a debate that had turned into an unextinguishable inferno. The demise visited upon these two gentlemanly officers, one \u2018Tragically and Untimely,\u2019 while the other expectedly, continue to provoke internal organizational discussions among demoralized and demotivated rank-and-file members.<\/p>\n<p>BRUTAL ATTACK<\/p>\n<p>When his \u2018Earthly Demise\u2019 visited upon one of the subordinates \u2018Commissioner of Police Atlee Rodney QPM,\u2019 \u2018Corporal Clifton Common,\u2019\u00a0 it resulted from unexpected \u2018Brutal Attack\u2019 on his person. This, as reported, occurred at one of the \u2018Police Detention Cells\u2019 at St. John\u2019s Police Station (SJPS).\u2019 Even as it may have been to his knowledge that a detainee, reasonably considered a suspected mentally-deranged male, he was helplessly overwhelmed by the sudden rage and violence.<\/p>\n<p>CALLS OF NATURE &#8211; MAD DETAINEE<\/p>\n<p>He reportedly sought to allow for the suspected detainee to respond to\u00a0 \u2018Calls of Nature.\u2019 ,Thus, upon opening the metal door, he was alleged to have been; (a) \u2018Violently flattered to the floor, (b) Repeatedly trampled upon; and (c)\u00a0 Mercilessly pummeled into unconsciousness.\u2019 Left with blood profusely flowing from his mouth; running from his nose and oozing from his ears, whether or not \u2018Holy,\u2019 he gave up the \u2018Ghost.\u2019 Unresponsive and defenceless, the suspected \u2018Mad Detainee,\u2019 snuffed out the life of \u2018Corporal Clifton Common\u2019 [Observer Media; February 13, 2021].<\/p>\n<p>RANKS OF RESPECTABILITY<\/p>\n<p>Instructively, with a tenure of some 7-decades, both \u2018Corporal Clifton Common (29-years) and Senior Sergeant John Pelle (43-years),\u2019 may have been provided functional opportunities to be elevated to \u2018Ranks of Respectability.\u2019 Incidentally, they have been transitioned with broken hearts. Both have silently cried. They have been subjected to horrible organizational treatment. The only person to have seen their weeping was\u00a0 the \u2018Lord.\u2019 \u00a0Firstly, \u2018He\u2019 beckoned the \u2018Corporal,\u2019 then the \u2018Senior Sergeant,\u2019 Said the \u2018Lord; \u2018\u2026Clifton and John, this world is not your home.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>COME HOME, JOHN: AN ASSURING VOICE<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018Lord\u2019 saw apathy and animosity, as guiding the behavior of the membership of the \u2018Police Service Commission (PSC). He saw hearts filled with evil and saturated with vengeance. The \u2018Lord\u2019 said; \u2018Though wicked men and evil women have stood in the way of progress; you shall leave them in their iniquities.\u2019 Guiding the thoughts of \u2018John Pelle\u2019 of a better place where there was no pain or sorrow, \u2018an Assuring Voice\u2019 was heard saying; \u2018\u2026In my Father\u2019s House, are many mansions; \u2026My Father wants you to be with \u2018Him:\u2019 \u2026He has prepared a room for you; \u2026Come home, John; \u2026Come home\u2019 [KJV: John: 14: 1-3]. Then death visited upon \u2018John Pelle.\u2019 His breath, was finally taken away.

Though not necessarily in a qualitative and proficient sense, it had eclipsed the \u201839-Service years of \u2018Sir Wright Fitzhenly George 60: KCN, MVO, QPM, CPM.\u2019 While he achieved 3-lowly-ranks of; (i) \u2018Corporal;\u00a0 (ii) Sergeant; and (iii) Senior Sergeant,\u2019 he had no aught against those that have victimized or discriminated against him.

He had seen colleagues catapulted to, and above the rank of \u2018Inspectors.\u2019 The case of \u2018Rapid Promotion,\u2019 for \u2018Commissioner of Police, Atlee Rodney QPM,\u2019 makes the point.<\/p>\n<p>DEPRIVED AND DENIED<\/p>\n<p>It has shown that while he was obviously \u2018Deprived or Denied, of opportunities for his personal advancement through the ranks, personnel with less service, were provided opportunities for their elevation to higher ranks. Instructively, while \u2018Commissioner of Police, Atlee Rodney QPM\u2019 was elevated from; (i) \u2018The Inspectorate rank to; (ii) \u2018Superintendent; then to (iii) Deputy Commissioner; then when the\u00a0 Police Service Commission (PSC) ended the Law enforcement career of then \u2018Commissioner of Police, Wendell Robinson,\u2019 he was elevated; (iv) To the rank of Commissioner of Police\u2019[November 25, 2019].<\/p>\n<p>MISFORTUNE v \u00a0FORTUNE<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not it was the \u2018Misfortune\u2019 of the then embattled \u2018Commissioner,\u2019 well positioned, and environmentally-favored, it became the \u2018Fortune\u2019 of \u2018Commissioner of Police, Atlee Rodney QPM.\u2019 Had \u2018Senior Sergeant, John Pelle 61,\u2019 been treated differently, then the \u2018Service Records\u2019 may have shown comparative progress as his colleagues; (i) \u2018Commissioner\u00a0 Atlee Rodney QPM, 61: (ii) Deputy Commissioner Albert Wade QPM, 61: and (iii) Deputy Commissioner Everton Jeffers 61.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>ENVIRONMENTALLY FAVORED<\/p>\n<p>Before these particular ranks, appeared to have been an identifiable few that may have been \u2018Environmentally Favored,\u2019 than for their leadership or managerial skills and professional competence. In spite of retarded progress, the unfortunate \u2018John Pelle, appeared strengthened by his \u2018Sufferings and Perseverance.\u2019 The conscience of the membership of the \u2018Police Service Commissions shall cause them embarrassing guilt.<\/p>\n<p>ORGANIZATIONAL MISERIES<\/p>\n<p>Looked at from the top-heavy positions,\u2019 it revealed astonishing service information.\u2019 The official records shall show that\u00a0 \u2018John Pelle\u2019 had served for just over \u20184-decades.\u2019 He had earned three promotions from; (i) \u2018Constable to Corporal; then (ii) To Sergeant; and finally, to \u2018Senior Sergeant.\u2019 There onward, he has been kept in \u2018Organizational Miseries.\u2019 The environmentally-selected members on the \u2018Police Service Commission, appeared to have completely forgotten him.<\/p>\n<p>STEELY RESOLVE<\/p>\n<p>That which appeared to have been exacted upon \u2018John Pelle,\u2019 might be seen from the progress made by\u00a0 other rank-and-file members with less Service than himself. The personnel referred hereunder, had a \u2018Longevity of Service,\u2019 less than that of of\u00a0 Senior Sergeant John Pelle 61.\u2019 Without \u00a0apathy, animosity and enmity toward those that fortuitously became his superiors, a short list has shown members with no exceptional or greater knowledge\u2019 over him. That which he had over them was a \u2018Steely Resolve\u2019 to serve.<\/p>\n<p>SENIORED IN SERVICE<\/p>\n<p>The others he had also \u2018Seniored in Service\u2019 that became his superiors, included; (i) Assistant Commissioner Desmond Dinard 62; (ii) Assistant Commissioner Clifton Cabral 61: (iii) Assistant Commissioner Vivian Parker 59; (iv) Assistant Commissioner Samuel Joseph 57; and (v) Assistant Commissioner Roland Cuffy 54.\u2019 Called to the test, the now deceased \u2018Senior Sergeant\u2019 was knowledgeably-positioned to guide many of his superiors through \u2018Criminal Investigations.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>INESCAPABLE VISITATIONS<\/p>\n<p>Now, except other interventions,\u2019 these officers have the option to serve until they have attained the \u2018New Mandatory Retirement Age of 65-years.\u2019 Many saw it as a \u2018God-Send\u2019 to serve for an additional \u20185-years.\u2019 Should these officers decide to continue, it seems inevitable that the progress of subordinates was most likely to be\u00a0 further stymied. Many have seen disillusionment; frustration; and disappointment for the next seven years.<\/p>\n<p>DIVINE INTERVENTION<\/p>\n<p>Though rank-and-file members have no such wish, it could be sooner as in the case of the early transition of; (i) \u2018Inspector Raymond Kirwan 60.\u2019 and (ii) Senior Sergeant John Pelle 61.\u2019 Only \u2018Divine Intervention,\u2019 may delay the Inescapable Visitation\u2019 on those that believed they shall go to their graves wearing their boots.\u2019 Even so, barring an \u2018Undivine Intervention,\u2019 easy math suggests that at least \u20184 officers shall attain the \u2018Mandatory Age of Retirement of 65-years.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>EARTHLY TRANSGRESSIONS<\/p>\n<p>This shall come upon them in four years\u2019 time.

Neither to foe, loved ones, friends nor family, their presence shall inspire no pleasure; As his lifeless body rested quietly in the casket, even as they may look at his face, they shall not look into his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>LIVER SHALL SHRIVEL<\/p>\n<p>Their hypocrisy will be troubling.

For the treatment dished out to John Pelle; \u2018Satan\u2019 welcomes evildoers, and is impatiently awaiting with a piercing dagger to penetrate deep into their evil hearts; They shall remorsefully repent for their iniquitous, victimizing and discriminatory acts, before the name- \u2018John Pelle\u2019 is \u2018Called Up Yonder.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>EVIL MACHINATIONS<\/p>\n<p>Their imaginations shall bring before their eyes their \u2018Evil Machinations.\u2019 Whatever they are, when the \u2018Bells toll,\u2019 they shall be interred with their bones.

This member, identified as \u2018former Deputy Commissioner James Hill QPM.\u2019 He took his \u2018Medal,\u2019 to the Commission.\u2019 From professional knowledge and experience, there must be some serious problems resulting in (i) Demoralization; (ii) Demotivation; (iii) Reward and Award; (iv) Privileges with incentivization benefits, including; (a) Opportunities for advancement; (b) Personal development and professional growth.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>EXPLOITABLE COMMISSIONER<\/p>\n<p>Today, only the \u2018Exploitable Commissioner\u2019 may administrate to the whim and fancy of a \u00a0domineering \u2018Police Service Commission (PSC).\u2019 During the tenure of \u2018John Pelle,\u2019 the environment appeared not to have been conducive to him achieving and enjoying greater professional success or the bestowal upon himself the prestigious \u2018Queen\u2019s Police Medal (QPM),\u2019 reserved only for \u2018Serving Police officers\u2019 across the Commonwealth. It was never intended for members of Police Services Commission,\u2019 or any other Commission.<\/p>\n<p>MALADIES AND PLAGUES<\/p>\n<p>During the course of research, that which was previously administratively known of the \u2018Police and Fire Services,\u2019 the author\u2019s attention was drawn to organizational \u2018Maladies and Plagues,\u2019 said to have negatively impacted the \u2018Morale\u2019 of rank-and-file members. Though \u2018Commissioner of Police, Atlee Rodney QPM\u2019 has rejected media suggestion that these Services were \u2018rife with sexual harassment,\u2019 while it may not necessarily have reached alarming proportion, it was to official knowledge<\/p>\n<p>TARNISHED IMAGE- EMOTIONAL DISTRESS<\/p>\n<p>There was said to have been tarnished image by certain acts bordering criminality. Though traumatized females were reportedly transferred to different commands, these have reportedly left some three female members traumatized. Compounding these reports, has been the elevation of certain personnel to ranks beyond their professional competencies. These have reportedly caused \u2018Emotional Distress\u2019 to the more eligible, competent and deeply committed members.<\/p>\n<p>PARADIGM SHIFT<\/p>\n<p>Senior Sergeant John Pelle,\u2019\u00a0 would have heard the cries of families, loved ones and friends and members of the wider society. Undoubtedly, one such cry may have been; (i) \u2018Justice for the \u2018reckless Police shootings; and (ii) Extrajudicial, cold-blooded killings of unarmed citizens. Such will have included; \u2018Mannie James 45\u2019 [July 31, 2023]. If these speak not to a \u2018Police Service\u2019 desperately begging for a \u2018Paradigm Shift\u2019 in leadership, management, focus, purpose and direction, then it begs the fundamental question; \u2018Just what else is needed?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>WEARIED INTO ABSENTEEISM<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, so demotivated and demoralized, the \u2018working-spirit\u2019 of the organizational membership have been \u2018Wearied into Absenteeism.\u2019 Their energies have been reportedly sapped, and said to have been in dire \u2018Need of Revitalization.\u2019 Seemingly finding escape, depressed personnel have been reportedly seen at road-side bars attempting to drown their frustration in spiritous beverages. Not infrequently, walking gait was said to have been \u2018wobbly,\u2019 as they attempt to make their way back to their vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>LOW PRODUCTIVITY<\/p>\n<p>Law enforcement agencies shall not be seen as lacking the \u2018Spirit of Perseverance.\u2019 Consequently, the welfare of the entire membership shall not be perceived to have been grossly or gravely neglected. Personnel, were said to have seen discriminatory practices being perpetrated against certain rank-and-file members by the\u00a0 \u2018Police Service Commission (PSC).\u2019\u00a0 As every leader, manager and supervisor shall know, such practices in workplaces, had often resulted in \u2018Low Productivity\u2019 and serious indiscipline.<\/p>\n<p>ORGANIZATIONAL HELL<\/p>\n<p>As it affects the tenure\u00a0 of \u2018 \u2018Senior Sergeant John Pelle,\u2019 he may have seen \u2018\u2026The good; \u2026The bad; The ugly; and \u2026The indifferent.\u2019 In later years, he may have seen the membership of the \u2018Police and Fire Services,\u2019 deeply troubled by; (a) \u2018Discrimination; (b) Victimization; and (c) Despondency.\u2019 In spite of his \u2018Organizational Hell,\u2019 he has served the nation with a passion. He has not only performed his assigned or detailed duties exceedingly well, but also with honesty and integrity. If it were not so, he may not have served in these Services for \u201843-years\u2019 [October 27, 1980],<\/p>\n<p>ENVIRONMENTAL EXPLOITATION<\/p>\n<p>His dedication to duty would only be unmatched or unparallel by the new \u2018Mandatory\u2019 age of retirement of 65-years.\u2019 Instructively, privilege information revealed that when he stood against \u2018Environmental Exploitation,\u2019 he reportedly faced mounting organizational horrors. From intimate knowledge and practical enforcement of law, he refused to be influenced or persuaded to flout law to do special favors.<\/p>\n<p>RECOMMENDATION FOR ELEVATION<\/p>\n<p>It was then he was forcefully returned to \u2018Law Enforcement.\u2019 It was not necessarily for want of \u2018Recommendations for his Elevation\u2019 through the ranks of the \u2018Police Service.\u2019 Several were reportedly dispatched by \u2018former Chief Immigration Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Ivor Walker.\u2019 Yet, for whatever reason\/s, either; (a) The Police High Command; or (b) The Police Service Commission (PSC)\u2019 appeared not to have recognized his membership in the \u2018Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda (RPFAB).\u2019<\/p>\n<p>PUNISHABLE EVIL<\/p>\n<p>They have been seen by rank-and-file members as heartless. Though their hearts may ache, they shall shed no tears; nor wipe no weeping eyes. Neither shall they read from the \u2018Holy Bible.\u2019 They shall see it, and be afraid to touch it. As a warning, their hearts shall palpitate, while their bodies shall vibrate when the rank \u2018Senior Sergeant,\u2019 was called. They shall tremble and fall to their knees, inaudibly whispering to themselves, that which they shall see as the perpetration of a \u2018Punishable Evil\u2019 against \u2018John Pelle.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>HANGING IN<\/p>\n<p>The membership of both the \u2018Police and Fire Services,\u2019 have become disgruntled, dissatisfied and dejected.\u2019 But for their livelihood, the overwhelming majority, were just \u2018Hanging In.\u2019 All know that the \u2018Job Market\u2019 calls for \u2018mid-way to high qualifications.\u2019 Most were not so equipped. Their problems, however, were not about that market. They were concerned about the environmentally- affiliated and appointed members of the constitutional body called the \u2018Police Service Commission (PSC).\u2019<\/p>\n<p>DISAPPOINTED AND JADED<\/p>\n<p>The personnel appeared to have been \u2018Disappointed and Jaded\u2019 over their upward mobility within the rank structure of the vital services to the nation. While it takes into consideration, their hapless positions, the deaths of the two \u2018Fallen Colleagues.\u2019 That which was outside the knowledge of the author, has been researched. Some of the contents, those with intimate familiarity, were otherwise, guided by research. Thus, that which might be read, were neither the thoughts, nor suggestions of serving members.<\/p>\n<p>CRONYISM AND INSULARITY<\/p>\n<p>Then there are the\u00a0 \u2018Living,\u2019 that became \u2018Victims of Cronyism and Insularity;\u2019 (i) \u2018Commissioner of Police, Atlee Rodney QPM; and (ii) Senior \u2018CID\u2019 Inspector Theodore Horne; and the \u2018Dead- (i) Corporal Clifton Common; and (ii) Senior Sergeant John Pelle; and (iii) The hundreds of personnel that have also been made \u2018Victims\u2019 of a \u2018Body and System,\u2019 that seemed \u2018Reek of Corruption,\u2019 and a membership that have been accused of being \u2018Spitefully Vindictive\u2019 [January 20, 2024].<\/p>\n<p>CONCLUSION<\/p>\n<p>Though painful, \u2018John Pelle\u2019s\u2019 organizational blues and miseries are all over. While there may have been other organizational concerns, the \u2018Upward Mobility\u2019 through the ranks by the personnel of the \u2018Police and Fire Services,\u2019 were of vital importance. Thus, besides \u2018Medals for Meritorious Service,\u2019 that which appears to have been among the major concerns for actively-serving members, were said to have been <strong>\u2018Incentivized Privileges.\u2019<\/strong> These were being looked at from the perspectives of; (a) \u2018.Comparability; and (b) Incomparability,\u2019 as the affect (i) \u2018Longevity of Service; (ii)\u00a0 Achievements; (iii) Opportunities for advancement\u2019 (iv) Professional development; and (v) Organizational growth.\u2019 Members saw these as comporting with their hopes and spirations and the \u2018National Anthem,\u2019 that speaks to \u2018\u2026Each endeavoring; \u2026All achieving.\u2019\u00a0 ***<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-2873659041\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ORGANIZATIONAL \u2018HELL\u2019 OF JOHN PELLE STEADFAST &#8211; UNREWARDED &#8211; UNDETERRED RAWLSTON POMPEY Through natural causes, a veteran law enforcer, \u2018John Pelle 61, has been transitioned to \u00a0eternal rest.
