ComPol To Whistleblower: Bring Your Proof
posted (January 9, 2019)
And while Chester Williams maintains the Department's zero tolerance for police misbehavior, he may have to consider that there are some rogue officers who have remained under the radar.

That's because at a very bizarre press conference yesterday, whistleblower Edward Martinez, claimed he had solid evidence incriminating several high level officials within the police department and the government, and linking them to the multiple drug plane landings that spontaneously cropped up around the country since November 2017. Of course, we have not revealed the names mentioned for libel reasons but still, the very thought of it is appalling. Yesterday, when we asked Chester Williams about it, he did not have much to say. And, after all the news outlets have carried the story, Williams hasn't seen the press conference. Today, we brought up the topic again, and he was brief in his comments:

Chester Williams, ComPol
"Really and truly I don't want to delve into Mr. Martinez' press conference yesterday. If it is that he have any evidence against senior officers in police, then present the evidence to me and then we will see where we go from there. In the absence of that then there is nothing I can do."
