ComPol says He is Not Going Anywhere Anytime Soon 

Earlier this week, Commissioner of Police Chester Williams was asked about his plans after his tenure as Belize’s longest-serving Commissioner of Police comes to an end. In the interview, he mentioned that despite holding a law degree, he prefers to continue working in public service. He has since clarified that he has no plans to retire or step down from his position anytime soon. Here’s more on that.

 

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police

“Yesterday I clearly outlined the plan for 2025 and  I was asked the question if I will be leaving on it. Soon, I said, No, I’m not going anywhere right now. That’s what I made clear yesterday So I was shocked to see that yourself and Belize news has on your pages today that a commissioner  is planning to exit. I gave no such information. No, I remain a police officer. And you asked me earlier if I’m asking for extension. I don’t need to ask for extension. I am a tenured public officer. Retire at age fifty-five. I’m far from fifty-five years old. So there’s not a matter of asking for no extension So I continue to serve as commissioner of police until the minister or the prime minister would see otherwise Or decide otherwise.”
