The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force (RT&CIPF) is pleased to announce the successful completion of the promotion examinations to the ranks of Sergeant and Inspector.
This year, over one hundred (100) officers participated in the examinations, which were administered and supervised by officials from the University of the West Indies (UWI), Cave Hill Campus, Barbados. The UWI team comprised Professor Corin Bailey, Ms. Kim Sealey, and Mrs. Melanie Callender-Forde.
The examinations were conducted at the Turks and Caicos Islands Community College in Providenciales and the H.J. Robinson High School in Grand Turk. Officers from across the Force sat for both the Sergeant and Inspector-level examinations.
Commissioner of Police Fitz Bailey met with the UWI officials today and was briefed on the overall administration of the process. He commended the smooth execution of the examinations and reaffirmed his confidence in the transparent and accountable process undertaken.
Commissioner Bailey also expressed his gratitude to the UWI for their partnership and professionalism in administering the examinations, noting that their involvement reinforces the integrity and credibility of the promotion process.
Commissioner Bailey stated, “I am aware that change will have its resistance, however, if we are to achieve progress, we must embrace change. I have every confidence in the fairness and integrity of the process, and I look forward to the results as we continue to strengthen the leadership within the Force. The Executive extends best wishes to all officers who participated, and remains committed to ensuring merit-based advancement and professional development across all ranks.”
The next phase of the promotional process — the interview stage — will be announced once the examination scripts have been marked and finalized.
