An act­ing Se­nior Su­per­in­ten­dent of Po­lice Ser­vice, who was last in charge of the Emer­gency Re­sponse Pa­trol Unit (ERP), was grant­ed $100,000 bail on charges of in­de­cent as­sault and se­ri­ous in­de­cen­cy against a fe­male po­lice of­fi­cer.

A state­ment from the Po­lice Ser­vice said Pe­ter Do­minique was charged with the of­fences when he ap­peared vir­tu­al­ly be­fore JP Abra­ham Ali yes­ter­day.

He was grant­ed bail with sure­ty and the mat­ter ad­journed to Jan­u­ary 7, 2021.

The fe­male of­fi­cer re­port­ed to the Pro­fes­sion­al Stan­dards Bu­reau (PSB), that on Ju­ly 21, 2020, she went in­to Do­minique’s of­fice to re­turn some keys.

She claimed that when she at­tempt­ed to leave the of­fice, he al­leged­ly held on­to her hand and closed the door.

The vic­tim said he then made sug­ges­tive re­marks to her and at­tempt­ed to touch her in­ap­pro­pri­ate­ly to which she re­sist­ed.

She said the in­ci­dent was in­ter­rupt­ed by a knock on the door fol­low­ing which she left the of­fice.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions in­to the in­ci­dent were launched by of­fi­cers of the PSB and a con­sul­ta­tion was sought with the Di­rec­tor of Pub­lic Pros­e­cu­tions, Roger Gas­pard SC on Sep­tem­ber 30.

The DPP ad­vised that the ac­cused be charged with the two of­fences.

Do­minique was charged yes­ter­day.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions were su­per­vised by act­ing Se­nior Supt Ram­nar­ine Sama­roo and Supt Mon­trichard and as­sist­ed by Cpl Mar­shall and Cpls Bisses­sar and Moore.
