SSP Wayne Cameron has been chairman of the Police Officers' Association since July 2019.
Commissioner of Police Dr. Kevin Blake has directed that the chair of the Police Officers' Association (POA) be vacated.
According to the Constabulary Communications Network, the current chair will no longer be granted guidance with the High Command and is not permitted to represent the JCF outside of official duties.
In the interim, the remaining members of the POA executive will appoint a chairman temporarily who will lead the association into a special general meeting for the purpose of electing a new executive in accordance with established conventions.
Senor Superintendent of Police Wayne Cameron has been chairman of the Police Officers' Association since first being elected in July 2019.
The High Command says it is concerned that reports of alleged indiscipline and misconduct by the chairman may compromise the conduct of the POA, particularly at a time when the organisation is required to engage in highly technical salary and benefits negotiations with the government.
It says reports of the executive's failure to meet to conduct the business of the POA as well as to convene a general meeting over several years have reinforced this position.
The High Command says it will provide support where necessary to facilitate a smooth and timely transition. This action is deemed necessary to safeguard the interests of all gazetted officers.
