Mayor directs probe into alleged victimisation of junior female constabulary ranks

Following complaints by junior female ranks of the City Constabulary of ill treatment by their superiors, Mayor Patricia Chase-Green has instructed the Welfare Department of the Mayor and City Council to investigate.

At Monday’s statutory council meeting, Chase-Green disclosed that she has received several complaints from female ranks of victimisation, including being placed at desolate areas to work alone at nights.

“The Welfare Department needs to look into these matters. The things the ranks are telling makes you question what is happening in the constabulary,” she said. “I am telling the Welfare Department to investigate these complaints and I am raising it here at council because the ranks are afraid to come forward,” she added.
