Against the backdrop of the closure of two police stations and the quarantine of the entire canine unit due to the discovery of several law enforcers testing positive for COVID-19, their bargaining body is expressing deep concern about the treatment being meted out to members.
President of the Barbados Police Association (BPA) Mervin Grace said today that too many complaints are being made to the executive of officers being told to turn up for duty even though they are still awaiting COVID-19 test results.
“That is a complaint I have been hearing for a while. I don’t think it is the policy of the force, but that is what I have been hearing from a lot of members that they are asked to come out before receiving results and I don’t think it is right. But we are waiting to hear from the administration on this issue,” Grace told
