THE country’s new Crime Chief is Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Paul Williams, Acting Commissioner of Police (ACP) David Ramnarine confirmed during a recent press conference at the Police Headquarters, Eve Leary.

Williams’ had acted as the head of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Guyana Police Force when then Crime Chief Senior Superintendent of Police Wendell Blanhum proceeded on vacation leave last September. Blanhum later returned and was reassigned as Deputy Commander of “A” division.

Williams is now settling into his new role, having been pulled from ‘B’ Division late last year where he was serving as commander.
In striving to be vigilant, the crime chief describes his leadership style as participative and one which looks out for the well-being of his team.

“I have an open-door policy for both members of the public and my staff. Whatever problem is there we deal with it as a team from a team perspective,” Williams told the Guyana Chronicle.

He added that as long as the individual possesses the necessary experience and knowledge to make a valuable input, “I bring them from around the country, we sit, we deliberate and we discuss.”

“I am a servant-leader, I reach out to all my staff from the lower rank to the higher rank; in everything during my engagement with them, my utmost concern is about how they feel, if they’re comfortable and if they’re alright. “And I know once they’re within that same good stead and positive thinking, I’m going to get a lot out of them.”
