A FORMER BARBADIAN POLICEMAN is now recuperating in a British hospital after being seriously injured in Afghanistan last month.
Corie Mapp was on patrol duty with the British Army when he lost both feet in an explosion in the war-torn country.
Relatives have been tight-lipped about the incident but a family source told the SUNDAY SUN that Mapp was undergoing medical treatment and therapy after the incident that reportedly left two of his army colleagues dead.
Mapp, 34, of Clifton Hill, St John, had his childhood dream fulfilled when he was enlisted in the elite British military regiment four years ago. It was then that he quit his job as a police officer attached to the Special Services Unit (Task Force).
At home, best wishes were sent to him from Commissioner of Police Darwin Dottin and other members of the Police Force.
Head of the Task Force, Assistant Superintendent Antonio Forte, remembered Mapp as an excellent officer and one who looked for new challenges.
He also recalled the former cop, who was attached to the Canine Division before joining his department, as having his sights set on being a member of the overseas military.
