Former Police Commissioner Rawlston Pompey Criticizes Attorney General’s Advocacy for Promotion of Corporal
Former Commissioner of Police, Rawlston Pompey, has voiced sharp criticism over Attorney General Sir Steadroy Benjamin’s public advocacy for the promotion of Police Welfare Association Chairman, Corporal Marilyn Harris. Pompey labeled the Attorney General’s statements as “most embarrassing,” accusing the Police Service Commission (PSC) of vindictiveness and victimization for not promoting Harris sooner.
In a strongly worded response, Pompey pointed out that Corporal Harris’s promotion was long overdue, given her 29 years of active and dedicated service to the force. He expressed support for the Attorney General’s call for her elevation but criticized the timing of the advocacy, describing it as a “belated call” that should be considered “scandalous.”
Pompey’s remarks highlighted broader concerns about the PSC, which he claims has been tainted by political appointments and members of questionable character. He further accused the commission of fostering cronyism and nepotism, with members allegedly showing favoritism in recruitment and promotions within both the Fire Brigade and the Regular Police Service.
While supporting the Attorney General’s push for Harris’s promotion, Pompey argued that Benjamin should also advocate for the immediate replacement of the PSC’s current membership. He suggested that the body has been complicit in undermining officers’ career advancement through politically motivated decisions.
Pompey’s critique reflects deep-seated frustration over the management of promotions within the police force, calling into question the integrity and fairness of the PSC. Despite his criticism of the commission, Pompey emphasized that Harris’s elevation is long overdue and that the AG’s advocacy, although late, is a step in the right direction.

I hereby request that the PSC is made up of impartial, and educated folks that makes decisions on the merit. Promotion to not be given based on solely or mainly years of service but based on good work in the force and educational achievement.
I am in support of most of Pompey’s alleged statements here. Except for the years of service promotion, that should not be the main or sole factor but I am pretty sure that is not Pompey was conveying.
These commissions are controlled by politicians, they act immediately when politicians tell them to act. You are lucky if you can get a politician to tell them to act on the merit in your case.
These administrative agencies like firearms license commission, police service commission, and so forth should be made up of highly educated and fair persons appointment by the people and for PSC through some election within the police (maybe).
Is he lonely? Bored? Too much free time on his hands? He can pick up a hobby. Knit or crochet…make wool hats and bathing suits.
It is my understanding that the PSC only deals with promotions from Sergeant to Inspector and up.. I have a good friend who has served with distinction for over 30 years and is a Corporal and when he questioned this current Commissioner why he has not been promoted when many, with less talent and proven experience, have been, the Commissioner blamed the PSC and advised him to write the PSC. When he wrote the PSC, he was referred back to the Commissioner.. Is it that no one knows their role?
