But, right now the priority for the Prime Minister is to find a new Minister of National Security. Today’s release says he has, quote, “immediately embarked on consultations with his Cabinet colleagues and expects shortly to designate a new Minister of National Security.†End quote. Today we asked the new commissioner if he knows who it is:
Jules Vasquez
"Sir now how this affect the functioning of the police department? We live in a state where citizen security is a major issue. How does the transition affect you all in terms of Mr. Saldivar had one leadership style and suddenly he's vaporized politically and now you all are back Elodio Aaragon, a former colleague of yours is holding the portfolio. How does it affect the function and direction of the police department?"
Chester Williams - Commissioner of Police
"I don't not foresee the change of minister affecting the day to day running of the police department. As the commissioner of police, it is my responsibility to administer the police department and I remain the commissioner of police. Yes, we do look to the politician, ie the minister for policy direction but in terms of the day to day running and operation of the department, it is commissioner who makes policies and strategies that would lead towards achieving whatever operational plans or objectives that we may have."
