So now that Senior Superintendent Williams has a new vision of policing for Eastern Division - are we to conclude that the previous structure of the Eastern Division was flawed? That's what we asked Williams today:
Jules Vasquez
"They say that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. So then, the fact that there is now a reconfiguration. Is this an admission that something was broke in the eastern division structure and this is an attempt to fix it?"
Sr. Supt Chester Williams, Commander Eastern Division South
"I will not venture to say that something was broken. But what I can tell you is that this was a strategy devise by the commissioner of police to ensure that there is more accountability on the ground and to ensure that one commander is not tasked with too much of a burden in policing. We are hoping that with this strategy, we will be able to reduce crime, because the commanders in the different divisions will have less responsibility, they will have more supervision - more time to supervise the personnel under their command and we should yield some very fruitful results from that."
