All this week, you've been hearing jawing in the press between this media house and the southside commander Chester Williams. Well, it was all building up to a police-media meeting which was held today. That's where both sides put it all out there The media complained about the inefficiency of the police press office - and the police complained about the media's sensationalism. Two hours later, after both sides had their say, a truce was agreed upon, and concrete undertakings were given by both sides. Williams was all smiles when it was done:..
ACP Chester Williams - OC. Eastern Division South
"I must say that I am very gratefully for the attendance of the workshop today with the different media houses. I think that it's the way to go, that when we have issues we bring it to the table and we discuss it and we see how we could arrive at solutions to address those issues. When we have personality clashing and personality issues and we are out there making statements against each other, it does not help us. So, I think that the workshop was the right way to address the meeting, the issues and I think that each media houses were able to put their issues on the table and it does not have a situation where anybody dictates, but we discuss together and we arrive at amicable solutions for us to be able to move forward and I'm very optimistic that the relationship between us and the media with only continue to grow."
