Recently reinstated Assistant Commissioner of Police Simon McBean has been assigned as the Commander of Region Three (Essequibo Islands-West Demerara) effective from Friday.
Stabroek News was reliably informed that McBean has replaced Senior Superintendent Lin-den Lord who now heads Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni). The shake-up was done in order to fill the void left by Assistant Com-missioner Kevin Adonis, who will be heading into pre-retirement leave soon.
Adonis was the Commander of Region Seven.
He is among a number of senior police officers who will be heading into retirement by the end of this year. Commissioner of Police Leslie James on Friday told reporters that a succession plan is in place to replace these officers.
