In an unprecedented move signaling significant institutional growth, the Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF) has elevated 179 officers and subordinate personnel—marking the single largest promotion ceremony in the force’s modern history. The landmark event, orchestrated under the thematic banner ‘Elevated in Rank, Anchored in Service,’ underscores the profound dedication and professional excellence demonstrated by Grenada’s law enforcement community in their ongoing mission to ensure national security.
The comprehensive promotions encompass multiple hierarchical tiers within the police infrastructure, including one individual ascending to Assistant Commissioner of Police, 14 to Superintendent, 18 to Assistant Superintendent, 32 to Inspector, 46 to Sergeant, and 69 to Corporal.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Vannie Curwen emphasized that the ceremony served dual purposes: not only honoring the relentless effort and perseverance exhibited by RGPF personnel but also recognizing the indispensable support and personal sacrifices made by their families, which proved crucial to their professional achievements.
Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell, delivering the keynote address, lauded the promoted officers for their exemplary service and called upon them to approach their enhanced responsibilities with unwavering integrity and forward-thinking vision. He urged leadership by example, encouraged self-reflection for diversified future service, and motivated all personnel to pursue continuous self-improvement and training opportunities. The Prime Minister further articulated that this milestone represents a pinnacle of achievement for regional law enforcement, reinforcing Grenada’s steadfast dedication to superior public safety and community-oriented policing.
This substantial organizational advancement symbolizes the RGPF’s renewed commitment to maintaining the highest standards of law enforcement, deeply rooted in service to the citizens of Grenada, as the force continues its progressive evolution.
