Erla Harewood-Christopher, who was recently elected as the first female Commissioner of Police in the country, expects no political interference in her duties. If the issue arises, she intends to protect the integrity of her office and resist any attempts to influence her actions. She emphasized that her previous service has been marked by independence and fearlessness, and promised to continue this same approach in her new role. Harewood-Christopher was appointed with a unanimous vote of 36 for and none against, with no abstentions. As a woman in a male-dominated field, she expects to be held to a higher standard and acknowledged the challenge of reducing the country's homicide rate. She stated that the police force must enforce a zero-tolerance approach towards indiscipline and hold itself accountable to citizens.
