Commissioner of Police Fitz Bailey, along with members of the Force Executive Deputy
Commissioner Rodney Adams, ag Deputy Commissioner Kendall Grant, Darron Williams, and
Dwight Gardiner, met with newly promoted officers over the course of three days, engaging
them in discussions focused on leadership, professionalism, and the future direction of the Force.
A total of 46 officers were recognized during the engagement, with six promoted to the rank of
Assistant Superintendent of Police, fifteen to Inspector, and twenty-five to Sergeant.
During the sessions, Commissioner Bailey underscored the significance of leadership rooted in
honour, discipline, and integrity. He reminded officers that integrity cannot be bought but must
be consistently demonstrated.
He further encouraged the newly promoted leaders to build disciplined teams, foster unity,
camaraderie, and fellowship, and create positive and productive work environments where
officers are motivated to perform at their best. Officers were also urged to remain grateful,
celebrate their achievements, and continue to aspire toward excellence through hard work and
commitment.
“Magnify the office you now hold,” Commissioner Bailey stated, emphasizing the responsibility
that comes with leadership. Importantly, Commissioner Bailey assured the officers that they will
be adequately trained and developed for the roles to which they have been appointed. This
includes exposure to contemporary policing priorities such as diversity, inclusion, and modern
professional etiquette.
Highlighting the importance of realigning the Force, the Commissioner called on officers to play
an active role in strengthening their culture and effectiveness.
