Jeremy Taylor
Jeremy Taylor, one of Jamaica's most senior prosecutors, has been appointed Director of Public Prosecutions of the Turks and Caicos Islands.
The appointment was announced on Tuesday.
Mr. Taylor has served as Jamaica's Senior Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions since 2014, leading specialised units including anti-gang, environmental law, extradition, and organised crime.
He also contributed to key legislative reforms and authored prosecution manuals.
Mr. Taylor was among the contenders to replace King's Counsel Paula Llewellyn, who retired in September last year.
Claudette Thompson, another senior deputy deputy DPP, was selected.
Mr. Taylor is the latest Jamaican to be appointed to a top public role in the TCI, a British overseas territory.
Fitz Bailey, a former deputy commissioner of police in Jamaica, was appointed TCI's police commissioner in April.
