Prime Minister Mia Mottley issued the following statement Sunday on the passing of Inspector Rodney Inniss. Inniss died on Saturday:
I am deeply shocked and saddened by the passing of the Barbados Police Service’s Inspector Rodney Inniss.
As Barbados Police Service Communications and Public Affairs Officer, Inniss endeared himself to Barbadians by showing a high level of dedication and compassion, no matter the circumstance.
At any hour of the night, he was willing to take calls to provide clarity, reassurance, and ensure that our country was not in undue alarm when incidents occurred.
Indeed, his service to our nation and the Barbados Police Service was nothing short of exemplary, and his absence will be deeply felt.
On behalf of the Government and people of Barbados, I sincerely extend my heartfelt condolences to his family, fellow members of the Barbados Police Service, loved ones, friends and all those who are undoubtedly shocked by his passing.
May he rest in peace.
