And while Superintendent Jemmott's wake may have been one of the lively parties the weekend had to offer, it was far from the only over-crowded festivity. There were also wedding receptions, nightclubs masquerading as restaurants, and boats hosting parties under the guise of tours.
And, as a result, the commissioner of Police has, this evening, sent out a memo to inform commanders that they will now find themselves directly accountable for any breach of regulations that goes unpunished in their respective jurisdictions.
It's a move that comes as COMPOL Williams condemned a host of illegal weekend activities that violated said regulations and said that the department quote:" Has to do their part to reduce and maintain numbers at acceptable rates."
Williams notes, quote, "the numbers of positive COVID 19 case are slowly creeping up; it cannot be that we will have a nonchalant attitude to what is happening." So, the instruction to Commanders are to monitor all activities and to take appropriate action against any violations of COVID-19 protocols.
