BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – WITH the new High Command of the Police Force being introduced to the nation, official word was given that former Assistant Commissioner of Police Vaughan Henderson and former Acting Commissioner of Police Stafford Liburd would be moving on to pursue other avenues of employment.
It was public knowledge that Henderson, a lawyer, was seeking employment in the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions. It was indicated that recommendation had been made and the Judicial and Legal Services Commission was to hand down its decision.
Prime Minister Dr. the Hon. Timothy Harris made this announcement last evening (Feb. 9) during his address to the nation on the installation of a new High Command for the Police Force.
“Acting ACP Vaughan Henderson has been transferred to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions. Mr. Henderson, who holds a law degree, successfully pursued his Legal Education Certificate in 2014. He was called to the Bar thereafter, making him eligible for professional practice.
“We are happy to be able to afford Mr. Henderson the opportunity to hone his craft as a lawyer/solicitor. We expect that he will serve his country well and I wish him every success in this endeavour.”
While the Prime Minister spoke of Liburd and his nigh-40-year experience in the Police Force, very little was said about his next career move.
“I am obliged to report that Mr. Stafford Liburd, our Acting Commissioner, has taken a well-deserved vacation leave. Mr. Liburd has given almost 40 years service to the Police Force. This is no small feat. At the end of his vacation leave Mr. Liburd’s expertise and experience will be utilized elsewhere.”
SKNVibes understands that Liburd would be a key player in an agency that deals with law enforcement.
