Police Commissioner Dr. Carl Williams Steps Down
On Thursday (December 22) Police Commissioner Dr. Carl Williams resigned, despite stating that his departure from the top police post was not imminent less than a week ago.
The police commissioner cited personal reasons for his intention to resign.
Confirmation of his resignation came via The Ministry of National Security in a statement on Thursday.
The ministry also revealed that Dr. Williams indicated his intention to retire from the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) from October 18, 2016.
It said several attempts were made by members of the administration, the Police Services Commission, and the Minister of National Security to persuade the commissioner to extend his service, however these efforts did not succeed.
The Ministry of National Security said it respects the commissioner’s decision and acknowledges that he has one of the most difficult and stressful jobs.
