Assistant Commissioner, Simon McBean has been instructed to leave Region Three and move over to the city (Division 4 ‘A’). Senior Superintendent, Errol Watts, has been given the green-light to take over as Commander of Region Three.The new government led by President Irfaan Ali has been “shaking up” the police force since it took office days ago.
