Commissioner of Police Wendell Robinson has written to the Permanent Secretary asking to be transferred to a suitable department within the public service.<\/p>

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

He made the request in to Stacey Gregg-Paige, on October 30, 2019.<\/p>\n

In the letter he asks that he be placed in an appropriate established position within the civil service in Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>

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

\u201cI respectfully ask that where my allowance presently received cannot continue upon my transfer, that amount can be added as part of my salary or an alternate, appropriate allowance be put in its place,\u201d Robinson\u2019s letter read.<\/p>

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

The commissioner who was facing termination also reportedly requested the use of a serviced\u00a0 government vehicle similar to what obtains in his current position.<\/p>\n

Two weeks ago Prime Minister Gaston Browne urged Robinson to negotiate his departure having been on suspension for two years with pay.<\/p>

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

Browne suggested that Robinson could be given a position equal to what he now holds.<\/p>\n

Subsequent to this the suspended commissioner missed two termination hearing arranged by the Police Service Commission.<\/p>
