A group of 23 police sergeants has lost their challenge against the Commissioner of Police and the Promotions Advisory Board of the police service to terminate a promotion list that they believed would help them move up to the rank of inspector.

The list, first made in December 2020 and updated in June 2021, was used to promote officers who passed a qualifying exam. The sergeants argued that the list should have stayed active until everyone on it was promoted.

They said ending the list before they were promoted was unfair and against the rules.
