ComPol On US Fugitives
Fri, April 11, 2025
Last night we shared with you that 2 US fugitives hiding out in Belize have been returned to the US. And last week there was another. We asked the compol about this today and their collaboration with US authorities to assist in locating these fugitives.

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"Well again we continue to work with our counterparts and occasional we get information of a fugitive being here, there or somewhere and once that occurs then we get into motion working with the US Embassy. Identifying the location and then we do surveillance and eventually we move in an apprehend. We have done that recently with a number of fugitives from the US and once that occurred then they are then taken back to the US where they will then face whatever charges they may have to face in the United States."

"I have not been following the deportation much I can't really give you an answer but I know that I have seen lists with a number of persons returning home but very little if any at all as it relates to persons of interest. Those persons that we have seen coming home are not persons of interest to us and so we just go through the normal routine with them so we are with those who are of interest to us."







Did ComPol Cross The Line With Cyberbullying Charges?

And finally forms he compol tonight, yesterday you saw that he dropped the cyber crime charges against his older brother for spewing comments against him on social media. Some say that the compol may have been too harsh or he had over reacted, because after all being talked about on social media is nothing strange - especially for public figures. But the compol says he cannot afford to take these things lightly and that's why he took it upon himself to follow through with a report. The compol explained why.

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"That is the view of those persons and I respect their view. I must say that as an individual people say things about me on social media everyday and I don't care but at the end of the day I am a public figure and I am subject to be criticised but when you are going to call me corrupt I will not countenance it. I have worked in this department for over 33 years and I have done my utmost best to maintain my integrity. And so if a person were to say I am corrupted I am this or I am that I am going to have them prove that to the court. Bring your evidence before the court and prove that I am such I am not like the ordinary public who can go and back and forth with somebody on social media I cannot do that. The nature of my art does not require me to do that it is going to be unprofessional and so I have to find other ways to defend my character and so I defend my character using the court system, the law was put into place to protect against cyber bullying and If it is that there are people out there who do not wish to make use of the law that is there business. The law is there for all of us to use and if anybody believes that they are being cyber bullied by another then they have the same right as I do in going to the police, making a complaint and take the matter before the court so that the person who is bullying you or whatever can go to court and say to defend their position and that is all I have to say on that matter."
