The Police Officers' Association is rejecting claims by the Government that the former head of Jamaica's anti-narcotics unit was reassigned because he refused to cooperate with Cuba in the anti drug fight in the region. The national security minister senator Dwight Nelson made the claim yesterday against Senior Superintendent of Police Carlton Wilson. He said Wilson was reassigned following complaints from Cuba in 2009 about his unit's lack of cooperation. However, the chairman of the Police Officers' Association Senior Superintendent Michael James said Wilson's reassignment was routine. In fact James said SSP Wilson reported that his reassignment was a promotion. He also said Senior Superintendent Wilson and his family are distressed by the claims. This afternoon the former commissioner of police Rear Admiral Hardly Lewin also weighed in on the development. He confirmed that SSP Wilson was reassigned under his watch, but said it had nothing to do with complaints from Cuba.
