Nelson told The Gleaner yesterday that the Police High Command had not yet formally notified the ministry of the promotions.

Nelson, who has responsibility for the public service, said the ministry should receive details about the changes within the next two months.

The JCF announced the promo-tions following approval by the governor general, acting on the advice of the Police Service Commission.

It is believed that five divisional commanders who are now deputy superintendents are among the 129 officers promoted.

A highly qualified sergeant will make an unprecedented climb to the rank of deputy superintendent of police (DSP).

All the promotions will be published in the police force staff orders today.

In addition to the gazetted officers who are promoted, there are reports that 122 members of the federated have also been promoted.
