And though the compol will be leaving his seat in the police department, Sergeant William Marroquin in Sarteneja will not after his transfer was rescinded because of the community's strong reaction. The Compol says he saw it best to leave Marroquin where he is for now, and we asked him why.
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"I don't think The police officer was reluctant to be transferred the police officer do understand that we are a disciplinary organisation and as a part of our work week we must move and when you are told to be transferred but it is expected that you are going to take up your transfer but again Mr Maroquin has been working in Sarteneja for about 2 years now and the people of the village do like the way he works and I can tell you that he has been instrumental in two major drug busts in that area and just last year and so the people have gotten to like him and they are comfortable with him policing the village and it has been a problematic area for us before he went there and so having heard the complaints of the people, I have decided to rescind the transfer of Mr Maroquin and he will remain in Sarteneja for a little while longer."
