A generational leadership transition is set to take place at the top of Barbados’ national law enforcement agency, with veteran officer Sonia Boyce formally tapped to succeed outgoing Commissioner Richard Boyce as the new head of the Barbados Police Service (TBPS). Her five-year appointment will officially go into effect on July 3, 2026, timed to align with Richard Boyce’s upcoming retirement that will open the agency’s top leadership post.
