As Brumell prepared to celebrate his 55th birthday, reports circulated yesterday that he had been granted an extension of his term as Commissioner. But while he said that he was aware of the reports, Brumell stressed that he had received no official statement about his position.
Nevertheless, he made it clear that he would accept an extension of his service as Commissioner.
“I will take it if that is the case; the ruling party seems to have confidence in me and the Opposition seems to have that same confidence,” Brumell told Kaieteur News.
“If I am called upon to work (further) for my country (as Commissioner) I will.”
Brumell was thrust into the position as Police Commissioner (ag.) in early 2012 when his predecessor, Henry Greene, resigned in the face of rape allegations. He was sworn in as Police Commissioner in October, 2013.
Due to his seniority in the Force, Deputy Police Commissioner Seelall Persaud is Brumell’s most likely successor.
