Police Top Cop Acknowledges existence of ‘ bad apples’ within police force and emphasizes mechanisms for addressing them.
“We are not going to let the minority destroy the good work of the majority. Yes, like any other organization, we live in a fallen world, if you want to put it that way.
So, within our organization, you’ll find individuals who are not sticking to the rules and regulations that we have to work with, not staying within the confines of our regulations. However, we have mechanisms in place to deal with them, and we have been dealing with them.
Unfortunately, some have had to be asked to leave the service. These things happen. But that small minority does not represent the majority of the police force.
I am proud to be a member of this police force. I have been in the police force for 41 years, going on 42.
Over the years, I have seen the type of policing that we have. We have quality policemen, and the majority is doing well. However, every time one bad apple does something, everybody thinks it’s the whole police force.
And that’s not the case. It’s unfortunate, and we all feel it because, I mean, it’s just like a member of your family doing something, and everybody thinks the whole family is bad. It’s not one individual.
Every family has a black sheep. And I think we are not immune to that in the police force.
We are taking police officers from our society, and our society has both good and bad. Sometimes, somebody can come and be misguided.
Some individuals might act irrationally. We don’t know what type of day they were having.
And sometimes, in that split second, you have to make a decision. And if that decision is wrong, you are chastised for it.
And the entire organization is chastised for it. But sometimes, it might just be a bad judgment call in the spur of the moment.”

Well said Mr.commissioner
The Commissioner failed to tell the public what disciplinary action will be taken against lawless Tulip. He did however, implied that her flagrant disregard for the law may have been a moment of bad judgment!
Therfore, the public should expect a police cover up. Incidentally, has Tulip been suspended? Given the nature of the offence she should be suspended without pay. In case the Commissioner overlooked the main point: Tulip
knowungly.gave her car keys to an unqualified drive to drive without insurance.
*knowingly*
