Sayonara ComPol Williams?

Commissioner of Police Chester Williams is about to start an exciting new chapter in his career. As the longest-serving ComPol, he’s leaving the Belize Police Department to become the Chief Executive Officer in the Ministry of Transport. He’ll be working with Doctor Louis Zabaneh, who just became the new Minister of Transport on Monday. Doctor Richard Rosado, currently the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of operations, will take over Williams’ role. However, there’s some drama, as there’s an ongoing legal dispute about Doctor Rosado’s promotion, brought forward by Deputy Commissioner of Police Bart Jones. In an interview with Prime Minister John Briceño on Monday, we asked about the possibility of ComPol Williams being appointed as a C.E.O. in his administration.  At the time, he responded that that wasn’t the case, and that Williams was still the Commissioner of Police.
