ROYAL Turks and Caicos Islands Police has appointed a new Director of Corporate Services.

Peter Davis, will take up the position early next month.

The 54-year-old brings a wealth of experience to the role, including previous postings in the Caribbean.

Davis, who holds a Master’s Degree in Business Administration, is the former business manager for the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS). He also served as a Detective Superintendent and Senior Investigating Officer for homicides and major crime in the Royal St Lucia Police Force.

An ex-British Criminal Investigations Division Detective Chief Inspector and Senior Investigating Officer, he has also worked for the UK Department for Business.

RTCI Police Commissioner, Colin Farquhar, said: “We are delighted to welcome Peter Davis. His appointment comes following an extensive recruitment process and his credentials and experience will prove a huge asset to the service.

“Peter’s background is highly impressive and his extensive corporate, business and police investigative experience in both the Caribbean and the UK will be a great asset to the RTCI Police.”

He added: “This is yet another clear indication of the positive steps being taken to ensure an efficient, productive and highly effective police service here in the TCI.”

Davis, who is married with two grown up daughters, boasts an impressive record of achievements during his distinguished career.

In the Cayman Islands, he was responsible for the latest RCIPS corporate strategy and business objectives, and was involved in developing key partnership agreements, budget control, and best value and fiscal control of the service for the Cayman Government.

In Lucia, he worked on the high-profile murder investigations of Patricia Lee and Laurent Moynaton, and also headed a host of successful major and serious crime investigations teams in the UK.

Davis said: “I am pleased to be joining the RTCI Police and look forward to the many challenges that lie ahead.”
