Police Officers Commended for Exemplary Service Following Recent Incidents
Two police officers who recently graduated from the Sir Wright F. George Police Academy have been lauded by Attorney General and Public Safety Minister, Hon. Sir Steadroy Benjamin, for their bravery and professionalism during separate incidents over the weekend.
Constable Alecia Grant demonstrated swift action in apprehending a man accused of snatching jewelry from a cruise tourist in St. John’s on Saturday morning.
Despite sustaining injuries while subduing the suspect, she managed to prevent his escape and has since been treated at the hospital.
The Attorney General praised her courage and credited the heightened police presence in the city for contributing to swift responses.
Meanwhile, Constable Jeremiah Clarke was commended for maintaining composure under pressure while issuing a ticket for an alleged traffic violation.
A viral video showed the officer calmly handling the situation despite facing verbal abuse from an irate motorist.
Sir Steadroy Benjamin emphasized that the officers’ actions reflect the high standards instilled during their training at the Police Academy and expressed appreciation to the Police Administration for their continued efforts in equipping officers to perform effectively.

COMMENDATIONS IN ORDER: …GRADUANDS OF SIR WRIGHT F. GEORGE POLICE ACADEMY…?
High ‘…Commendations’ are perfectly in order to the female ‘…Special Constable-trained, Alecia Grant’ at the ‘…Non-commissioned United States Air Force Base at ‘…COOLIDGE.’
Still none shall:
(a) ‘…MISGUIDE THE POLICE MINISTER: nor
(b) …MISLED,’ general public into believing that this ‘…Female Police officer’ was :
(i) ‘…Ever a TRAINEE: or
(ii) …GRADUAND’ of the reportedly starved for repairs, but once prestigious ‘…Police Training Academy.’
29-DAYS ON THE POLICE SERVICE
Having been ‘…ENLISTED’ into the ‘…POLICE SERVICE’ for a mere ‘…29-DAY SERVICE’ [December 1- 29, 2024], this ‘…Female officer’ has demonstrated that which, in many instances, for reasons of ‘…FRUSTRATION: …DEMORALIZATION: AND VICTIMIZATION,’ that which appeared to have been gravely lacking in most senior ‘…Male and Female’ counterparts.’
FROM A STRICTLY PROFESSIONAL PERSPECTIVE, THIS IS HIGHLY COMMENDABLE.
DEMORALIZING AND COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE
Even so, it could be seen as ‘…Demoralizing and Counter-Productive’ in denying this apparent exuberant female Police officer, the ‘…FIRST OPPORTUNITY’ in being assigned the ‘…RIGHTFUL INVESTIGATOR’ to a criminal act she may have ‘….VIEWED’ being committed.
ASSIGNMENT OF INVESTIGATOR
In ‘…ASSIGNING’ any male colleague, be they of a an equally mere ‘…29-DAY SERVICE,’ or otherwise, as the ‘…Official Investigator,’ such could be seen as:
(i) ‘…AN INSULT TO HER INTELLIGENCE:
(ii) …SENSE OF PURPOSE AND RESPONSIBILITY: as well as
(iii) …AN AFFRONT TO HER DIGNITY.’

When you just start you are always willing and ready because you are taking things very seriously and you want to show superiors you have what it takes….In time if she keeps this up she needs to be promoted before the unappreciated factor kicks in…..
