NAPB St. Maarten Wants Minister of Justice to Re-Negotiate --- Carlyle Rogers.

Philipsburg:--- The President of the NAPB St. Maarten Carlyle Rogers said in a press release on Sunday that the Minister of Justice should go back to the negotiating table with the police unions to re-negotiate since his plans are different to those that were made prior to the island achieving its separate status.
Rogers said prior to St. Maarten receiving its status, several agreements were made and he realized that the St. Maarten's Minister of Justice has a lot of plans that are differing from the agreements that were made pertaining to police matters and agreed upon on all Political levels.
Rogers said the NAPB chapter St. Maarten is of the opinion that in the event that this government would like to see these plans carried out that they by extension of the Minister of Justice should come back to the negotiation table with the above mentioned unions to re negotiate.
Rogers said after the NAPB St. Maarten installed their board they held several fruitful meetings with the Minister of Justice and the Management team of the St. Maarten Police Force over the past days.
The NAPB president said before 10-10-10, a work group for the Police force of St. Maarten was put in place, consisting of members of the Police from Holland, St. Maarten, the public prosecutors' office and the unions being NAPB, ABVO and the WICSU.
