Bridgetown.
Acting Deputy Commissioner of Police Seymour Cumberbatch has filed an injunction in the High Court against the Attorney General and the Police Service Commission (PSC) to stop any attempt to fill the post of Deputy Commissioner .
Cumberbatch is asking the Court to suspension the process of filling the vacancy for the post of Deputy Commissioner.
“We consider that the action over the last 24 hours is a viciously cynical interference with that process for selection of the Deputy Commissioner of Police,” says Queen's Counsel Ralph Thorne who filed the injunction on Cumberbatch behalf.
“We also consider that the process has been so traumatized by the removal of the Commissioner of Police that it has caused a fracture that deprives Mr Cumberbatch of his right to enjoy a process that is consistent, transparent, objective, fair and impartial, and until the necessary procedural propriety revisits the process for selection, then it must not be allowed to continue", Thorne told the media.
Yesterday Commissioner of Police Darwin Dottin was sent on adminstrative leave by the
PSC.
