Assistant Commissioner of Police Paul Williams has been confirmed as the new Crime Chief.
Williams’ appointment to the post was confirmed yesterday by acting Commissioner of Police David Ramnarine during a press conference at the Police Headquarters, Eve Leary.
During the press conference, William was addressed as “acting Crime Chief” by a member of the media and it was at this point that the announcement was made. Before answering the question, Williams responded, saying, “I am a little bit distracted; I heard acting Crime Chief.” It was at this point the acting Commissioner said, “Yes, that is true. He is the Crime Chief of the day.”
Before Williams’ confirmation, he acted as the head of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Guyana Police Force after then Crime Chief Senior Superintendent of Police Wendell Blanhum had proceeded on vacation leave last September.
