RSVGPF Mourns the Loss of Corporal 603 Bailey
The Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force (RSVGPF) is deeply saddened by the passing of Corporal 603 Selman Bailey on Saturday, August 9, 2025, and extends heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time.
Corporal Bailey faithfully served the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines for nearly thirty-three years, having enlisted in the RSVGPF on August 11, 1992. Throughout his career, he was posted at the Calliaqua Police Station, Old Montrose Police Station, Fire Brigade, and the Traffic Department, where he devoted the majority of his service.
Colleagues remember Corporal Bailey as a dependable officer with a calm presence and a sharp sense of humour, someone who could be relied upon in the toughest situations. His easy manner and willingness to mentor younger officers left a lasting impression on those who worked alongside him.
As the saying goes, “When a police officer dies, a piece of every badge grows heavy.” Corporal Bailey’s passing is felt not only by those who wore the uniform with him, but also by the many members of the public who came to know and respect him over the years.
The RSVGPF stands with his loved ones in grief and gratitude, honouring the service and friendship he gave so freely. His legacy will live on in the memories of his colleagues and in the proud history of the organisation he served with dedication.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
