Police Commissioner Richard Chambers says he appreciates the resignation of Jevon McSkimming as Deputy Police Commissioner raises questions, but the criminal investigation into McSkimming cannot be compromised by commenting on it at this point.

“However, I can say I have always made it very clear that trust and confidence in police is a top priority for me as Commissioner,” Chambers says.

“I have also made clear I expect leadership to be accountable.

“The public and my police colleagues can rest assured that very much remains the case.

“I take very seriously anything that puts trust and confidence and the reputation of police at risk and will act to address it.

“I have high expectations of all police staff and will address it if those standards are not met, irrespective of rank or role.

“This is not just about my own views and expectations.

“It is the standard the public and the police deserve.”
