1st Quarter of 2025 “Looks Good”, Says ComPol Williams

Outgoing Commissioner of Police Chester Williams told reporters this morning that the first quarter of 2025, as it relates to crime statistics, “looks good.”

He said, “It’s not what I would want it to be. Certainly, you would know that I am very big in terms of preserving life…those type of crimes that affect life, like murders and attempted murders and so forth, are the ones that I would normally do my best to guard against, and again, for the simple fact that they do affect the livelihoods of others.”

Williams added that the number of murders is down compared to the same period in 2024. “Overall, major crime is down by 7% compared to the same period to last year.”

“I am happy that I am handing over to the incoming commissioner with a crime rate below last year’s figure.”
