Six New Police Constables Sworn into Service at RTCIPF Ceremony
Today, a swearing-in ceremony at Police Headquarters, Airport Road, Providenciales, marked the induction of six new police constables into the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force.
During the brief ceremony, four experienced officers – Germaine Scott, Sandenia Francis, Tyrone Cox, and Blake Hooker – along with Special Constables Rashaunda Cooke and Raymond Clare, took their oaths to uphold justice, protect the community, and diligently serve their duties with pride and integrity.
Addressing the constables, Commissioner of Police (acting) Christopher Eyre commended the dedication of those currently serving and emphasized the significance of their role in addressing the challenges facing the Turks and Caicos Islands, particularly regarding illegal migration.
Commissioner Eyre stated, ‘In this region, we face the humanitarian tragedy affecting Haiti, and our hearts go out to those affected on that island. Unfortunately, due to the collapse of Haiti’s government, we have seen the prisons being overrun and over 5000 prisoners escaping. We also face challenges from illegal migration to our shores.’
He expressed pride in the Force’s response to these challenges and encouraged the new constables to excel as part of the team.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Rodney Adams, Assistant Commissioner of Police Kendall Grant, Human Resource Officer Sgt Tashauna Wilson, and Chairman of the Police Welfare Association Sgt Jepson Victor were also present at the swearing-in ceremony.
