Changes are taking place at the top brass of the Guyana Police Force and the first of the changes made is the immediate removal of Deputy Commissioner of Police Paul Williams.
Williams who returned from his accumulated vacation leave today was given a letter indicating his removal. Prior to Williams going on leave, he was performing duties as the Force’s Admin.
Williams confirmed that he received the letter which was signed by the acting Commissioner of Police Nigel Hoppie. This newscast understands that Williams will be a part of the Civil Defense Commission COVID-19 Task Force to provide security advice.
Williams was promoted along with Maxine Graham, Lyndon Alves, and Nigel Hoppie to Deputy Commissioner of Police back in 2018. During that same period, Leslie James was appointed Commissioner of Police. James, Graham, and Alves have all retired.
