FORMER Police Service Commission (PSC) chairman Nizam Mohammed blamed Commissioner of Police (CoP) Erla Harewood-Christopher's exit from office on both expediency and possible interference, speaking to Newsday on May 14.

Former PSC deputy chairman Martin George soundly condemned the PSC's failure to lift her suspension. In a letter on the evening of May 14, Harewood-Christopher was informed by the PSC that her suspension was lifted.

Earlier in the day, the newly created Ministry of Homeland Security – headed by Roger Alexander – in a statement said upon the advice of the Office of the Attorney General, Harewood-Christopher would go on leave.
