CASTRIES, St Lucia (April 28, 2025) — The sexual misconduct probe into senior St Lucia cop at the center of an internal police investigation has progressed significantly, with two cases finalized and submitted to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for review.

Police Commissioner Verne Garde disclosed the development during a press briefing last Thursday, confirming that the investigations were completed by the assigned investigator and reviewed internally before being passed to DPP Daasrean Greene for evaluation.

“Two of the investigations are completed,” Garde stated, emphasizing the importance of adhering to due process. He noted that the public would be updated once the DPP issues a formal response.

The ongoing investigations unfold amid broader concerns about leadership integrity within the police force. As previously reported by Unitedpac St Lucia News, an explosive Saint Lucia police scandal raised alarms over whether individuals facing serious allegations could ascend to top leadership roles. This latest development adds further weight to calls for heightened accountability within law enforcement ranks.

Scrutiny Mounts Amid Sexual Misconduct Probe into Senior St Lucia Cop

Despite the gravity of the allegations, the senior officer remains on active duty. Commissioner Garde defended the decision, explaining that administrative leave is typically reserved for cases where an officer’s presence is deemed disruptive to operations.

The situation has reignited public scrutiny and intensified demands for a transparent process, particularly in light of other high-profile cases. In a separate matter, former police officer Ronald Phillip, whose career has been marred by controversy, was recently arrested, further highlighting persistent challenges within the RSLPF’s leadership and disciplinary frameworks.

Absence of Formal Sexual Harassment Policy Raises Concerns

Commissioner Garde acknowledged a critical procedural gap: the RSLPF currently lacks a formalized sexual harassment policy. Investigations are presently guided by constitutional principles and the Criminal Code.

Efforts are underway to close this gap, with a draft policy under review. A steering committee, convened by the Ministry of Home Affairs, is working to finalize the document for adoption across the public service. Garde stressed the importance of institutional reforms to better protect against misconduct.

Historical Investigations Reopened

Garde also revealed that several historical investigations, including matters dating back 14 to 15 years tied to Operation Restore Confidence, have been revisited. Some of these cases have now been closed and forwarded to the Office of the Attorney General for inquest proceedings.

“I am happy that over my eight-month tenure I am able to bring matters that have pended, in some cases for 14 and 15 years, to fruition,” Garde said, underscoring the force’s renewed commitment to internal accountability.

Awaiting the DPP’s Review

The RSLPF now awaits the DPP’s evaluation of the completed investigations. Meanwhile, two additional cases concerning the same senior officer remain active.

The outcome of these cases is expected to significantly impact public trust in the RSLPF and broader perceptions of institutional accountability across St Lucia.

Unitedpac St Lucia News will continue to monitor developments and provide timely updates on this important issue.
