Chief Superintendent Michael Johnson, head of the Criminal Investigation Department, was forcibly dispatched!!!

Statement from Police Commissioner Clayton Fernand

In response to the recent circulation of a voice memo implicating Chief Superintendent Michael Johnson, Director of the Criminal Investigations Department, I want to assure the public that the Royal Bahamas Police Force takes these allegations very seriously. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and professionalism within our ranks.

Chief Superintendent Michael Johnson has agreed to take temporary paid leave pending a thorough investigation into this matter. To ensure continuity and to deliver on our commitment to public safety, Chief Superintendent Anton Laming will serve as Head of the Criminal Investigations Division during this period.

The Royal Bahamas Police Force remains committed to transparency, accountability and the trust placed in us by the people of The Bahamas. We will continue to provide updates as the investigation progresses and ensure appropriate action is taken based on its findings.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Police Chief Clayton Fernand
