“So if you would be able to provide an update about the conference that you’re attending right now?”

 

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police

“I’m at the U.N. in New York, attending the United Nations Chief of Police Conference. And the conference is focused on different types of crime. Looking at environmental crime. We also be looking at interviewing and interrogation of suspects. We’ve been looking at gender within law enforcement. We’ll be looking at peacekeeping missions and we’ll be also looking at gang violence, firearm issues. And then we do have some bilateral meetings with different countries where I will see how we can solicit support in the form of training to be able to train our officers back home?”
