ComPol Williams Prepares Department Ahead of His Departure

Commissioner of Police Chester Williams discussed his upcoming departure from office during this morning’s press brief in Belmopan. He shared with the media that he has been preparing the department to ensure a smooth transition for the incoming police commissioner.

“I believe that he’s capable; he should be able to continue from where I am leaving off.” Williams said the department has “pledged” its support for the incoming commissioner.

Before his departure, Williams took the opportunity to address a few key issues, including the importance of confidentiality, personal differences, and the need to avoid undermining one another, especially the new commissioner. “That’s the reason why the department was so successful. Under my leadership, I focused more on what needs to be done,” Williams explained.

He added, “Whoever is going to be the new commissioner, they cannot undermine it. They must work together because they have one common objective, which is to make this country safe.”

Williams is set to transition to a new role as the Chief Executive Officer for the Ministry of Transport, where he has committed to prioritising his new responsibilities. “If I should move over to the Ministry of Transport, there’s a lot there to be done.”

It is expected that Deputy Commissioner of Police Dr Richard Rosado will be appointed as the next Commissioner of Police.
