Prison Commissioner Dennis Pulchan says there will be no transfer of officers at this time.

This morning Commissioner Pulchan told Newscenter 5 given the recent spike in COVID-19 cases across the country that is not a practical move.

On Friday, President of the Prison Officers Association Cerron Richards expressed concern for what he described as mass transfers scheduled.

Today Mr. Pulchan says he does not understand Mr. Richards’ position.

He also noted this morning that 1 officer was infected; measures to stop the spread have been increased.

Attempts to contact the Prison Officers Association this morning were unsuccessful.
