And the commissioner's term in this regional organization has another 18 months to go - which suggests that the rumor of his imminent departure are not only exaggerated, they are actually fabricated!
He put those rumors terminally to rest today. Compol says that there is no way he will be retiring anytime soon.
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"The presidency is normally for one year, but my presidency it will last for one year and six months because I was selected in June of this year and so there was a vote and in that vote the commission members agreed that we will not have a second election at this AGM that my presidency it will just move over to 2024 so my time will be up in November 2024."
"I certainly can't go on pre-retirement leave in December. I am extremely far from the age of retirement and I can confirm that with the media that I'm not going nowhere in December, I will continue my tenure as commissioner of police until the time comes that I decide to leaves, or if the government decides to do otherwise."
