ComPol Says U.D.P. had 12 Years to Address Crime Situation

In response to Peyrefitte, the Commissioner of Police highlighted evidence showing that serious crimes, especially murders, have significantly decreased under his leadership. He also took aim at Peyrefitte’s claims, challenging the notion that the U.D.P. will magically solve the country’s crime issues if elected.

 

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police

“I will tell you, I’m not going to say that I am the best, but I can say to you that since I became the Commissioner of Police, I have worked tirelessly, and you know this, to guide my officers, work with the public with a view to reduce crime.  If you want to be honest, you can do the research and your research will reveal that under my tenure as commissioner, crime, particularly murders, have fallen.  That is the… da facts di seh dat, you know.  Da noh me.  The numbers will say that to you.  For Peyrefitte to say that if they were to be elected, they are going to find who is going to do this… they were in office for twelve years.  How they couldn’t find that leader who could have done what they say they will do now and expect that the public is going to believe what they are saying?  They were given ample opportunities.”
