The constable, Joshua Wallace, has hired former attorney general Anand Ramlogan and attorney Jared Jagroo to file a freedom of information request to Hayden Newton, general manager of the Airports Authority (AATT), seeking information on its policy relating to the appearance and attire of estate constables while on duty.
Copies of all correspondence, investigative reports, findings and recommendations in the possession of the AATT regarding Wallace on his alleged non-conformity with the policy on appearance and attire of estate constables have also been requested.
They added that Wallace, who is also the vice-chairman of the Estate Police Association (EPA) local branch board, reported for duty on April 23.
During his tenure, our client has been subject to several attacks under the guise of disciplinary charges, the most recent being his suspension together with other EPA members for attending a press conference which highlighted security issues at the AATT,” the letter stated.
“In fact, our client’s superiors were not concerned with his hair until he began to attend meetings in his capacity as vice-chairman of the EPA local branch board during which, he would remove his uniform headpiece,” the letter stated.
