ComPol Williams: “Politics is Out of the Question, for Now”  

Since his re-election to the Association of Caribbean Commissioners of Police executive, ComPol Williams says he is focused on executing his commitments to Belize and the regional organizations he serves. When we asked him about his political aspirations, he says that politics is out of the question, but just for now. He also took a shot at the Leader of the Opposition, Moses “Shyne” Barrow in his remarks. Here is what he had to say.

 

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police

“Like I said, there is nothing wrong to think, to think about what you want to do, about where you want to go, nothing wrong with thinking. And I have been thinking about what I want to do when I leave the commissionership. Yes, I am an attorney I can go an practice law, but that is something I really want to do. I fight all my life to keep criminal behind bars.  I don’t foresee myself fighting to take criminals out. I don’t so I have to think what would be next for me. Yes, going to politics looks very attractive. So I am thinking about it. It does not mean because you think of something means you are going to do it or it is going to happen. I am more at this time focused on doing what I can to achieve the objectives of the police department and by extension the country of Belize and likewise to fulfill my commitment to the other two police associations that I have in Central America and the Caribbean. So for now politics is out of the question, so you can tell my friend, the leader of the opposition, that he can rest for now. I am more focused on ensuring I do what needs to be done to keep this country safe.”
