When Will ComPol Williams Demit Office as Top Cop?

When will Commissioner of Police Chester Williams step down and start his new role as C.E.O. in the Ministry of Transport? Did he get a letter from the Prime Minister’s C.E.O. about his upcoming departure from the Belize Police Department?

 

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police

“I will only say that the CEO has no authority to write such letter.  I’ve not seen it, but if that is so, she has no authority. My appointment comes from the Governor General and so only the Governor General can alter the terms of my authority as Commissioner of Police, or the Prime Minister.  So that is all I’m going to say in respect of that.  In terms of my timeline, I have advised the Cabinet Secretary that I want to leave as quick as possible.  It’s a matter of the Prime Minister and the Cabinet Secretary working out my exit package and once that is done then I am prepared to leave.  I am excited about going to take over my new role, I believe that it is going to be something good for me.  It’s a new opportunity for me to be able to go and apply myself with a view to see how I can continue to contribute to the safety of this country.”
