ComPol Says Police Need Spiritual Guidance, Retains Six Pastors
Fri, October 4, 2024
And with domestic murders, cocaine busts, officers committing crimes, and the UDP constantly on his case, the ComPol retained the assistance of not one, not two, but six pastors at his last Commanders Meeting on Monday. He asked them to pray to fend off the evil that he said is working against him.

Today we asked him about it, and he said that he believes the department needs major spiritual guidance.

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"Like you have sources everywhere."

Courtney Menzies:
"That's what it's like being in the news."

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"Everything I do people tell you. Who is your source in the high command? [laughs]. Again, we are a God fearing organization and with all that is happening across the country and all that the police have to deal with, it's a lot and so for us to be able to bring in the pastors to be a part of our Monday conference was a good thing. They prayed with us, they prayed for us and offered some spiritual guidance in terms of not just our professional well being but also our individual well being and so it is something that I've said to my commanders that we'll try to do at least once a month to be able to bring in these pastors and provide some spiritual guidance to us. I think we do need it with all that is happening, the job of police is very stressful and some people may not be able to take the stress but if we can put God in the midst of what we do to provide guidance and wisdom to us then certainly we'll be able to do what we can to keep our sanity while we perform our duties."
