New Commissioner of Police Sonia Boyce is determined to earn the trust of Barbadians, she said prior to inspecting the troops in her first inspection during yesterday’s ceremonial parade to commemorate her appointment.

The first woman to hold the post, she used the parade at the Regional Police Training Centre, Seawell, Christ Church, to outline her plans for a modern policing outfit that earns the trust of the public.

She was supported in that quest by Minister of Legal Affairs and Criminal Justice Michael Lashley, who revealed that the condition of the police stations was being addressed with state-of-the-art police stations expected to be built over the next two years at Six Roads, Black Rock and Holetown.
