It must be noted however that until January next year, Beau Vallon and Anse Etoile remain under the command of Assistant Superintendent Jeffrey Jean- Baptiste and Assistant Superintendent Wilson Denis respectively.
The aim of having most senior officers based in the region is to ensure better command, supervision, efficiency and more professionalism in terms of service rendered by the organisation to the community.
It is also envisaged that having most seniors at regional level will relieve pressure on headquarters where most members of the public come with grievances from the districts.
Members of the public are being asked and encouraged to take note, visit or report to the regional commanders on matters and issues affecting their respective communities, regions so that timely solutions can be sought with regards to their concerns.
While talking about the regions it is also important to note that as per new police operational structure Mont Buxton, Bel Air, St Louis, English River and Ma Joie is not a region but fall under Central Cluster under the command of Chief Superintendent Sean Jacklin who also oversees Traffic Section and Control and Command Centre.
Apart from regional commanders details of two other senior posts – Head of CID and Officer in charge of Control and Command Centre -- have also been announced as they are also key areas of the organisation.
