PWA advised to seek legal representation following allegations of a conspiracy to plan a subversion

​The Police Welfare Association (PWA) has been urged to seek legal advice and representation, following allegations of conspiracy to plan a subversion by certain members. Unconfirmed reports indicate that these allegations are said to have been made by Police Chief, Daniel Carbon.
 
The executive members of the PWA reportedly convened an emergency meeting to discuss the matter on the evening of 21st March 2017. Q95 was reliably informed that the PWA’s regional counterparts were also contacted, and they were told that legal advice should be secured.
 
A senior police officer indicated that the Police Chief, his Deputy Davidson Valerie and Superintendent Cuffy Williams, were asked to attend an emergency meeting at the Government’s Financial Centre at 2:30 pm on 21st March 2017.
 
On their return to Police Headquarters, the Chief of Police reportedly made the said allegations.
 
The Senior Officer confirmed that at the meeting at the Financial Centre, the Chief of Police, his deputy and Superintendent Williams were directed to arrest the Police Officers on suspicion, to send a strong message to the public and to the Dominica Public Service Union (DPSU) members, who intend to take action for a salary increase.
 
Q95 understands that members of the police force are not happy about the situation, and are taking it seriously.
