Wendell Robinson reportedly did not attend his termination hearing that was scheduled to take place at the office of the Police Service Commission (PSC) on Thursday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

According to reports, the suspended Police Commissioner wrote a letter to the PSC indicating that he would not be able to attend the hearing.<\/p>\n

The hearing, which was initially scheduled for October 25 was rescheduled to November 14 after Robinson presented a sick certificate and requested more time\u00a0so that he could answer to each specific allegation made against him in a letter from the PSC dated October 15, 2019.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

It is now being reported that Robinson has chosen to respond to the PSC via a letter, which was delivered on the Commission Thursday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Commissioner of Police may face termination because of, as described in a letter by the Police Service Commission, his temperament and his fractious relationship with the Minister with responsibility for the police.<\/p>\n

Robinson was first suspended in April 2018 following allegations of improper conduct leveled against him by two junior officers.<\/p>
