posted (December 31, 2024)
Next week Chester Williams will complete 6 years as Top Cop, safely surpassing his predecessor Allen Whylie to become the longest serving Commissioner of Police in over 100 years.

And though his position is secure, 6 years is a long run at the top. When we spoke to him this morning we asked him whether or not he had an exit plan, or if he will continue to serve out for another year. Here's what he told us about his future plans.

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"I certainly will not say I don't have an exit plan but at this time I am still not sure in terms of what I will be doing if I will finish the year, 2025 as commissioner if I will leave before I am not sure yet I will have to look at and with my options to see what is there for me. I am still pretty young and so it's something I have to look at to see what I will do until then I continue to remain committed to my duties and responsibilities as commissioner of police making sure I serve the Belizean people to the best of my ability and more importantly to ensure the police do what needs to be done to keep our people safe and treat our citizenry with the utmost degree of respect."
