Commissioner’s Mom Wants Public Support For Son

THE moth­er of new­ly installed Commissioner of Police Dr Carl Williams wants Jamaicans to sup­port her son in his new job.

“I’m ask­ing the good Lord and you mem­bers of the pub­lic to give him your sup­port,” Lynette Williams told the Jamaica Observer yes­ter­day, fol­low­ing the change of com­mand cer­e­mo­ny at the Police Officers’ Club in St Andrew.

Yesterday, Mrs Williams told the Observer that she was thank­ful for the suc­cess of her son and that the Lord had lift­ed him up.

“I feel I’ve done my best with him, and I feel Carl will do his very best,” she said.

During the cer­e­mo­ny, attend­ed by Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller and oth­er mem­bers of the Cabinet, Chief Justice Zaila McCalla and Director of Public Prosecutions Paula Llewellyn, among oth­er offi­cials, the sym­bol­ic baton of com­mand was passed over by Acting Commissioner Glenmore Hinds to Williams.

Hinds served as act­ing com­mis­sion since Owen Ellington start­ed his pre-retire­ment leave in July. Read it here:  http://​www​.jamaicaob​serv​er​.com/​n​e​w​s​/​C​o​m​m​i​s​s​i​o​n​e​r​-​s​-​m​o​m​-​w​a​n​t​s​-​p​u​b​l​i​c​-​s​u​p​p​o​r​t​-​f​o​r​-​s​o​n​_​1​7​5​5​1​313
