I know this gentleman form Freeport, if he says what he stated then you have to believe him , why believe others when you cannot believe your own. please lets give the man a chance at least he is saying something what others have not mention in a long time. What really does he have to lose and theirs not much to gain either. So my advise to others is let whatever is stated become the norm as he Mcalpine have to live with it and he would have to show us (Bahamian) that he is worthy.
good morning to all, i am sending this message to all Bahamians that could read as this is important for all. First , i must say to all Correctional Officers my whole hearty respect to all of you , as i too was one and have seen the transforming of the name H.M.P prison to now The Department of Corrections. My name is not important but i was once a fellow officer that assist inn writing the constitution, also serve as an executive also had represent the institution in various meeting thru out the Caribbean namely, Barbados, St. Lucia just to name a few. I want to say this as the Minister Mr. Marvin Dames stated that and "quote: there are those who perceive that Corrections officers are not real law enforcement officers, these persons believe that correction officers are not held in the same highest esteem as other National security officers and therefore they should not be expected to uphold high standards or performance demanded in other areas of the security service.". this is not so it is that they whoever they are needs to read as it states in the Bahamas Constitution Chapter 3 (111) heading " Protection of Fundamental rights and Freedom of the Individual" section 3. paragraph (b). states in Article (18), Article (19) and paragraph 3. of Article 28. of this constitution includes , in relations to an offence against a disciplinary law, any person or authority empowered to exercise jurisdiction in respect of that offence. "Disciplinary Law" means a law regulating the discipline of any Disciplined Force: "Disciplined Force" means: a. A Naval, Military or Air Force, b. The Police Service of the Bahamas : or c. The Prison service of the Bahamas: or d. Any other service or service specified by act of Parliament to be a discipline forced for the purpose of this chapter. so you see there is a cause for the Honorable Minister to revisit this statement that was made thru the radio and national papers. we are to be held in high esteem as other discipline officers and the question is . who are these and those ?
