Chair­man of the Po­lice Ser­vice Com­mis­sion Dr Wen­dell Wal­lace says it is the pre­rog­a­tive of the Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice to as­sign and re­as­sign se­nior of­fi­cers as he sees fit.

The de­ci­sion by Com­mis­sion­er Al­lis­ter Gue­var­ro to move Deputy Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice, Ju­nior Ben­jamin, from Op­er­a­tions to Ad­min­is­tra­tion, DCP Suzette Mar­tin from In­ves­ti­ga­tions and In­tel­li­gence to Op­er­a­tions, and DCP Natasha George from Ad­min­is­tra­tion to In­ves­ti­ga­tions and In­tel­li­gence has al­so been wel­comed by rank-and-file po­lice of­fi­cers.

How­ev­er, the changes will not take ef­fect un­til lat­er this month.
