Came to Barbados from France.

Superintending Sergeant of Police in Barbados.

Married to Rebecca Jane Sealy Wilkinson, at St. MIchaels Parish, 1852.
under command of John Clements, Inspector General of Police and Governor J. Pope Hennessy, Esq. C.M.Q.

Charles Frederick Augustus Da Rocha served with deligence and fidelity in the Police force of the island of Barbados for a period of 36 years, 6 months. He was appointed Superintendent of the Harbour Police in the year, 1876
The early life of the Force was characterized by rigid discipline and the military bearing of its members.
Undoubtedly, this was as it should be if the new Force was to adequately meet the threat against law and order which prevailed in the society. This was against a background of events which culminated a year earlier, 1834, and is now considered the greatest landmark in our history, notwithstanding that of Independence.

Francis Mayal Mallalieu was to set up and manage a Police Force which was to ensure that Barbados became secure and law abiding. To do this, the senior ranks had to be filled by officers appointed from England through the Colonial Office, while the other ranks were selected from among the inhabitants who could not aspire above the rank of Sergeant-Major. As a consequence, it can be easily accepted that the recruitment of suitable policemen was no easy, although the nucleus of the early men, it is believed, came from among those who served in the Bridgetown and Rural Police.
The Headquarters was established at Central Station which was to serve the country parishes. A number of guards were therefore established under the command of Corporals and lance-Corporals while the stations were under the command of Sergeants or Lance-Sergeants.

The widow, Rebecca, was granted an amount of 100 pounds to help care for her children after Charles Frederick Augustus Da Rocha's death.(Barbados Law Book)
