Recently, in the interest of impartiality and transparency, I called upon Commissioner of Police Darwin Dottin to bring in a top police investigator from one of our sister CARICOM nations to take charge of the Royal Barbados Police Force’s investigation into the shooting of the late Jamar Maynard by one of their officers. To my amazement, this call for the involvement of a fellow Caribbean police officer in a Barbadian criminal investigation was characterised by local journalists, and by Commissioner Dottin and newspaper columnist Richard Hoad, as a call for the bringing in of a "foreign" police investigator!
