The News Room was informed that some of the fire officers were charged departmentally and/or had their pay deducted. Meanwhile, other officers contested that while there was no pending infraction against them their pay was deducted and their names were removed from the list also.
Former Fire Chief Kamaladeen Edoo in September 2021, was arraigned before City Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus on a private charge filed by firefighter Neville Cumberbatch who complained of a discriminatory promotion practice.
Edoo was accused of allegedly removing Cumberbatch’s name from the promotion list.
It is alleged by Cumberbatch that his name was removed based on disciplinary infractions, whilst retaining on the same list persons who were guilty of equal and more egregious disciplinary infractions.
