The Police Information Office has disclosed that Head of the RVIPF Territorial Division, Superintendent Roy Stoutt has been officially appointed to act as Deputy Commissioner of Police.
According to the force, this took place late last week on the recommendation of the Police Service Commission (PSC) and the agreement of Governor Boyd McCleary.
The appointment is retroactive from January 3, 2013 and will end on April 22, 2013 upon the return of Acting Deputy Commissioner Alwyn James, who is away on study leave for three months.
"During the three months, Superintendent St. Clair Amory will be in charge of Territorial Policing while Chief Inspector Kenrick Headley will act as Superintendent in charge of Operations, Events and Disaster Management. Inspector Marlon Charles will act as Chief Inspector within the Operations Division," police stated.
Acting Deputy Commissioner Stoutt, in acknowledging his new position, noted his intention to see that officers keep focused on the business of serving the public.
"It is, at times, easy to get distracted with the many obstacles, lack of human resources, lack of equipment, but it is my intent to keep using what we do have to provide a consistent, dependable service to this Territory," Stoutt stated.
