The government has assured the public that the transition to a new Commissioner of Police will be smooth, with no disruption to national security efforts.

Chief of Staff in the Prime Minister’s Office, Ambassador Lionel Hurst, stated, “The movement from one commissioner to another has always been seamless and has produced no threats to security in the process.”

Hurst emphasized that the selection process is guided by the Police Service Commission, with final approval from the Prime Minister, who consults the Cabinet on such appointments.

“We have some very competent persons who are being considered,” he said, reaffirming confidence in the force’s leadership.

Outgoing Commissioner Atlee Rodney has served in the police force for over four decades, and his successor is expected to maintain stability in law enforcement operations.
