Several police ranks were promoted on the spot by Police Commissioner Leslie James on Friday, when ‘A’ Division hosted its annual Christmas Luncheon and Awards Ceremony, where they were lauded for their outstanding performances throughout the year.
The event was held in the compound of the Brickdam Police Station.
James, according to a Department of Public Information (DPI) report, assured that more officers from ‘A’ Division can expect to be promoted before the end of the year.
He also told the gathering that it was the overall outstanding performance of the police force that has resulted in a reduction of serious crimes for the year. “Today is a day which members of this division always look forward to and I am so happy to see everyone converge on this occasion… Looking at the achievement for the force as a collective, ‘A’ Division is just part of the whole of the organisation, and we have seen a decrease of 11% in serious crimes,” he was quoted as saying.
