Commissioner Met With Officers

Commissioner of Police Vere BrowneAntigua St. John's - Following media reports that Commissioner of Police Vere Browne indicated that he would meet with the three parties engaged in the Triangular Bedroom Brawl last weekend. Only two of the parties were met.

Caribarena has been reliably informed that two of the parties, female police officer Karen Silcott and Constable Charles met with the Commissioner and a battery of senior officers yesterday at the Police headquarters.



It was revealed that the 2 serving members offered explanations of the incident which occurred at the Nut grove home of Silcott where her husband Anderson Elvin was allegedly shot and wounded by officer Charles with his service firearm in the privacy of her bedroom.

Having provided explanations both were then reportedly advised of further investigations into the incident.

Some officers were of the view that either disciplinary or criminal action might be taken against the shooter.

Police on private jobs

#14 Retired officers » 2013-03-16 20:09

All I ask of the commissioner is to stop the police officers from doing private security work ,with the use of the police fire arms . I see them all over the place protecting those that can pay them , while the poor , single, especially women are attacked on a daily basis. Let the service stations and private homes hire private security companies . The job of the police is to be always available to every member of our community , rich or poor .

Charlie Brown is back in town. What!!! He met with the two officers who were involved in the love triangle melee over the weekend. No schish Sherlock. Yes man, the female constable Ms Silcott and her lover constable Charles appeared before the commissioner and a battery of senior officers yesterday. What? Did you say a battery of senior officers? yes man. Do you know if Snoopy, Linus, Marcie and peppermint patty was there? You know Charlie Brown can't do anything without Snoopy. I believe Linus was there with his piano playing "In my time" by Teddy Pendergrast. Must have been somehing.

RAWLSTON POMPEY » 2013-03-12 10:51:
Though it may seem "...Stranger Than Fiction," let sanity prevail. Don't be too hard on the "...Top Cop." It is obvious that you " ...guys/gals" know something about procedures. If only for academic interest: Section 4 of the Disciplinary Regulations [Police Act, Chapter 330- "...Investigati on of Charges" states (1) "...When a report, allegation or complaint is received by the Commissioner of Police from which it APPEARS that a member of the Force may have committed an offence, the matter 'SHALL' be referred to an ' ...INVESTIGATIN G OFFICER' who SHALL caused it to be investigated." (2) ...The Investigating Officer SHALL be such member of the Force, of or above the rank of Sergeant as may be 'DESIGNATED' by the Commissioner of Police for the purpose." It was clear that it was never intended for "...Commissione r Skyewill and the other well thinking Commissioners" on the subject to be part of the "...investigati ve process." Such intervention, even by " ...public perception" could very well "...compromise the investigation." Skyewill cannot be "...Investigato r, Judge, Jury and Punisher." 42 Read more:

Southern Beauty, the information (procedures) was provided yesterday, to a related article, by a former COP. If you have problems in finding it let me know and I will do a repost

Just imagine that this incident took place over the weekend and Silcott is back on the job with the traffic wardens on Tuesday. Was or is there any investigation? Please give me an aspirin.

The Top Flop calls in his 2 police officers involved in the incident in front a room full of senior police officers for what may I ask? What is the reason for this move? It is purely grand standing, intimidation and abuse. Were the subject officers offered the protection of a caution that anything they say can be used against them in a court of law? No, of course not. Were notes taken of the "discussion?" No, of course not. How does this "discussion" relate to an alleged phantom investigation? Top Flop has really stepped in it this time! What a great example of leadership for the police force. I am embar**ed for the country. And this top flop is in charge of law enforcement? God help us.
Top Flop has every right to talk to his officers and he should....but do it alone without an audience of senior officers to witness the debacle....

Melee as Ususal

#3 Southern Beauty » 2013-03-13 08:14

Wouldn't it be helpful Caribarena, to post the established procedures for response to such actions by serving lawmen. The law would have it roe, but surely the police force has its own as well. Wait, it's calypsonian write for Caribarena? Pure melee for sale.

Melee COP...real crime is out there!

#2 Dig It » 2013-03-13 08:00

The COP and a "battery of senior officers" met at the Police headquarters to get an "explanation" in this "Triangular Bedroom Brawl." An investigation is still 'pending' but a meeting is conducted by the COP. Meanwhile, criminals and bandits are taken over the country with gun-related crimes. Just where are our 'priorities' on crime?

Met with the CoP and a panel of senior officers, was this a tribunal? I hope we can expect some disciplinary actions for adultery at least, to show that it is unprofessional and will not be tolerated within the force.
