It is the view of politician and activist, Denise Demming that Police Commissioner Erla Harewood Christopher, failed on her promise to reduce crime.

She says, while her reappointment is appropriate, it raises questions about how the commissioner’s performance is being assessed.

This week, the government announced that Mrs. Harewood Christophers term would be extended for a year.

Speaking with News Centre five this morning, Ms. Demming said, it raises questions about key performance indicators.

She also advised the police service to embrace technology, and take a more proactive approach to crime fighting. Minister of National Security Fitzgerald Hinds has said, that the extension was granted on the approval of the police service commission.
