The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force held its first Divisional (A) and (B) Parade for 2023, at the Ethel Ingham Centre, on Wednesday, February 01st 2023 and at the Grand Turk Police Station today (February 02nd).
At 7 a.m., police officers from various sections turned out for the parade that included a formal inspection of uniforms and drills under the command of Superintendent of Police, Dwight Gardiner.
Supt. Gardiner said, “This was something we have done in the past and are happy to reintroduce this year. There are tremendous benefits to these quarterly parades. Inspections and drills are fundamental to policing and even though these elements may seem customary, it is important to master drills and the process that goes into getting a uniform ready for inspection.”
Gardiner added, “Overall, we want to reinforce standards and instil discipline and a sense of pride while building camaraderie through friendly competition”.
During the parade, Commendation Certificates were presented to – (Division B) Sgt Elliot Browne and Constable Rojay Graham.
Constable Marlon Morse of Division A was presented with a certificate for Outstanding Performance.
