REAL NEWS: An allegation of sexual harassment is being made against a senior
police officer who reportedly is in charge of a station.
The claim comes from a junior officer, a female constable of 19
years’ service in the Force.
The victim has chronicled her experiences of sexual assault with the
offender – said to be an assistant commissioner – in a two-page
letter dated December 4, 2023.
It is alleged that the correspondence has been forwarded to the
Police Service Commission (PSC) and to Commissioner of Police
Atlee Rodney.
Reports say it has also been copied to Attorney-General Steadroy
“Cutie” Benjamin, who is in charge of national security and under
whose portfolio the Police fall.
A source tells REAL News that a senior officer has been calling on
the female constable to retract her letter – and has gone as far as
informing a certain agency that she has withdrawn her
correspondence, knowing that this is untrue.
According to the sources, directives have come from officials for the
Commissioner to investigate the allegations.
However, it appears this has not been done, as the senior officer is
still at this post, while the female officer has been transferred to a
country station.
Meanwhile, it is alleged that the senior officer in question has had
accusations made against him by at least two other female officers,
but nothing was done in either case.
The current alleged victim is terrified at what the senior officer
might do to her since she reported the matter to the Professional
Standards Unit and other officers.
She believes that her job is at risk – based on the lengths the officer
has gone to, and continues to go, and she is therefore contemplating
leaving the Force.
A source says this situation has tremendously impacted the female
officer, even forcing her to sell her vehicle because she thought she
was being followed.
Additionally, the continued sexual harassment and the victimization
have impacted her mental health, the source says.
She has been diagnosed with panic attacks and is now undergoing
counseling sessions.

There has to be many more complaints against this piece of excrement! People are afraid to come forward.
I am hoping that this doesn’t go away (he doesn’t have ‘Diddy money’)…but unfortunately that disgusting AG, as well as the Police executive will do nothing! Where is the outrage? This could be your daughter, sister or even mother. Why is this continuing to fall on deaf ears?
There has been more than one complaint…ARREST HIM…SUSPEND HIM…FIRE HIM!
The system is corrupt once u won’t go along with thier agenda or u handing stuff to them ur case is useless, had a situation weekend gone an it’s friend an company or nothing else, I personally have no confidence in the police force they bias an wicked, an that’s from experience
How one can make a report an in the event u gone get a witness the officers allowing the person u did the report against to go buy stuff, don’t kno if is for them or who but before he returned the report was aborted an the sergeant walked out on me an didn give any verdict, greasing palms with jus something to DRINK? shame on that force when everything points out to the person GUILTY
Not a damn thing is going to be done… The ACP is prob very tight with Rodney and all the big heads so he will be protected…Female officers if u are being harassed on the job just use ur head and set a trap…Let them walk into it and make sure u have a witness or two…
PM waiting too long to clean up the police force.PM waiting until something more happen to address the slackness going on in the force.
