It all starts to take shape:
Larry Smith, the former narcotics chief accused of smearing Opposition Leader Michael Dunkley, has applied to be the next Police Deputy Commissioner. It's understood Mr. Smith, who retired last year, has put in an application to replace Roseanda Young who leaves at the end of the month — even though the post has yet to be advertised.The Royal Gazette understands the application has generated derision within the force.
The conspiracy theorists would say the arrangement was: smear Michael Dunkley and in return ....well, there's a job vacancy.
There's the pesky problem of the Governor making the appointment, and that no-one in their right mind would hire someone who has just blown all sorts of professional ethical standards, but those are minor details.
And if you thought recruitment and officer retention was difficult now, let's just say... it would get worse, much, much worse.
