A confidential US Embassy cable has revealed that Former Deputy Commissioner of Police Mark Shields had threatened to resign if then Senior Superintendent Reneto Adams was acquitted and returned to front line duty after his trial for the alleged unlawful killing of four people in Kraal, Clarendon in May 2003.
A diplomatic cable obtained by The Gleaner through Wikileaks, reported that Shields not only expressed his disregard for Adams during a December 2005 meeting, but made very damming allegations against Adams to a senior US Embassy official.
In the diplomatic cable Shields lamented that if Adams was found not guilty and put back on front line duties he would resign the Force immediately and return to the UK.
But in a response Adams says he was not surprised by the revelations in the December 2005 cable which confirmed for him that Shields, has no respect for Jamaican law.
He declared that if a jury found that he was not guilty then Shields is in contempt to have made such a statement to a US Embassy official.
The diplomatic cable says Shields seemed convinced that the four persons had been murdered by the police and argued that even with an acquittal, Adams could still be dismissed from the police force, for the good of the service.
