Superintendent of Police Mr. Trevor Bailey during a call to the Issues at Hand program on Sunday, lent his voice to call for Vincentians to get vaccinated against COVID-19; specifically calling on his colleagues in the force to get vaccinated.
“St. Vincent and the Grenadines, as it stands now, we don’t have an army, we don’t have a defence force, the only security as it stands from either internal or external threat, is the police force; and God forbid that 75 or 80 percent of the police fall ill with COVID, what becomes of the national security of St. Vincent and the Grenadines? And the remaining 20 percent who will be on the job, how long could 20 percent carry the workload? That is another reason why I urge my colleagues to get vaccinated.” He said.
Prime Minister Dr. the Hon. Ralph Gonsalves, while speaking on radio recently, revealed that over 700 police officers have been vaccinated against the deadly virus. A number which he said, he expects to improve significantly.
