Inspector of Police Ms. Corlene Samuel has earned a Master of Science in Forensic Psychology from Monroe University, graduating Summa Cum Laude (with top academic honours) with a perfect 4.00 GPA, triumphing over personal and professional challenges.
Inspector Samuel, a seasoned Police Prosecutor, pursued this degree online while balancing the demanding responsibilities of law enforcement and personal challenges.
Reflecting on her journey, Inspector Samuel shared, “I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become,” quoting Carl Jung. “Those words reminded me that, no matter the obstacles, I have the power to shape my future.”
As one can imagine, the journey was not without trials. Inspector Samuel persevered through the rigorous demands of graduate-level study while serving full-time in the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions’ (DPP) National Prosecution Service (NPS). During her studies, she also faced the loss of her father, Osborne “Soca” Glasgow, who was tragically murdered in 2024.
In honouring his memory, she stated, “This degree is dedicated to my father, a man whose belief in me never wavered. His encouragement to pursue education and purpose continues to guide me.”
Inspector Samuel expressed heartfelt gratitude to her family, friends, and colleagues for standing by her through every stage of the journey. She also conveyed appreciation to the Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, the Commissioner of Police, and the Director of Public Prosecutions for their confidence and support.
She spoke warmly of the Ministry of National Mobilisation and the staff of Liberty Lodge Boys Training School, where she completed her internship, describing the experience as one that brought her studies to life. Inspector Samuel also credited Corporal of Police Sean Roache for his invaluable contribution during that period, saying his support helped her gain a deeper understanding of the young men at the facility and the importance of patience and empathy in her work.
Reflecting on her time at Liberty Lodge, she said it allowed her to bridge theory with practice and strengthened her commitment to helping at-risk youth and others in contact with the justice system. The experience, she added, shaped her view of justice as something that must be firm but humane, grounded in understanding as much as in law.
Inspector Samuel stated that she intends to apply her expertise in Forensic Psychology to enhance the prosecutorial process and support a justice system that recognises both accountability and rehabilitation.
The RSVGPF extended its heartfelt congratulations to Inspector Samuel on this remarkable achievement.
“Her success represents not only personal triumph but also the collective strength and potential of the organisation. It affirms to the citizens, residents, and visitors of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines that the RSVGPF is equipped with the knowledge, professionalism, and vision to deliver first-class policing in service to our nation,” the RSVGPF said.
