BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – THE High Command of the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF) has increased to a five-man membership with the recent promotion of a third Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP).
Also, five Inspectors were promoted to Superintendents, while two ACPs were confirmed in their ranks and two Sergeants were promoted to Acting Inspectors .
Information reaching SKNVibes indicates that just over a week ago, a number of officers in the Police Force were promoted and ACP Ian Queeley has headed the List.
Queeley, who has been wearing the rank of ACP since his detachment in 2008 to the Regional Security System’s Central Liaison Office in Barbados as Director of Plans, Intelligence and Law Enforcement, was confirmed in that rank.
Also confirmed in that rank is the Head of Nevis Division, ACP Robert Liburd, who was appointed in December 2011; while Woman Inspector Diana Mills, who is in charge of Police Prosecutors within the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, and the Officer-in-Charge of Frigate Bay Police Station, Inspector Stephen Hector, both of whom were appointed earlier in the year, were confirmed in their ranks as Acting Inspectors.
These three officers’ promotion is said to be retroactive from sometime earlier this year, while Queeley’s own is from 2011.
Head of Special Branch, Superintendent Merlese Dolphin was promoted to ACP, while Inspector Merclyn Hughes, also of Special Branch, was promoted to Superintendent.
The other four Inspectors promoted to Superintendent are: former Police Public Relations Officer (PRO) Vaughan Henderson, who is currently pursuing his Legal Education Certificate (LEC) at the Hugh Wooding Law School in Trinidad, which upon successful completion will qualify him as an Attorney-at-Law; past PRO now Head of Traffic Department Cromwell Henry; former Commander of ‘B’ Division now Head of the newly-formed Homicide Unit, Andre Mitchell; and Commandant of the Police Training School Lionel Moore.
The management and staff of SKNVibes extend congratulations to the recently-promoted officers and wish them every success in their respective functions in the RSCNPF.
