Barbadians are flocking to the police Certificate of Character Office, resulting in congestion at the Sugar Cane Mall, Roebuck Street, St Michael location.
On Monday, it was dealing with almost 100 people in the first two hours alone.
Against this background, police are appealing to the public to follow the process set down of keeping their appointments to avoid the large build-ups that put strain on staff.
When a DAILY NATION team visited the offices on Tuesday, applicants complained of the long waiting hours and some were sitting on the steps since the room was packed to capacity.
