Executive Member of the Dominica Freedom Party Michael Astaphan has shared his view regarding the recent case involving Chairman of the Police Welfare Association Jefferson Drigo, Corporal Gemma Louis, and Police Chief Daniel Carbon. On 6th June 2018, Drigo called for an investigation into the Police Force for what he called interference by the Police Chief. Drigo, a corporal of police and stationed in St. Joseph, received news he was transferred to Delices effective June 15, 2018 after he got involved into complaints made to him as PWA Chairman, by a female police officer about a senior police officer. The PWA executive met with the Minister of National Security Rayburn Blackmore and according to them, the discussion was ‘fruitful”. After the meeting with the Minister of National Security the PWA met the press and stated that as police officers, they believe that it is their duty to serve “our communities with integrity”. According to Drigo “On or about May 10, 2018 a female subordinate police officer came to the station of the Chairman of the Police Welfare Association (PWA) and there she verbally made to the Chairman of the PWA an adverse complaint against a senior in the police service.” Drigo stated. he advised the female officer that the complaint is “one that requires the professional service of an attorney at law.”On June 2, 2018 by Force Order, the Chairman of the PWA was informed that the Chief of Police had directed his transfer from St Joseph to Delices Police station.Astaphan sees this move against the PWA Chairman as mischievous and invasive.
