ACTING Commissioner of Police Leamond Deleveaux clarified yesterday that Chief Superintendent Michael Johnson, the former head of the Central Investigations Department, remains on garden leave, despite a leaked document indicating his transfer to the Commissioner’s Office.

The document highlighted the reassignment of 14 chief superintendents and two superintendents, CSP Johnson, who was moved from the Criminal Investigations Department to Police Headquarters, effective August 8, 2024.

“As far as I am aware, he is on administrative leave. He is not to work, he is not working at police headquarters,” Mr Deleveaux said yesterday.

His comment came after Police Commissioner Clayton Fernander, who is out of the country, told The Tribune to contact him.

National security officials explained that when officers are placed on administrative leave, they must still be attached to a division of the force.

The police are investigating an internal corruption matter linked to voice notes that were leaked in July.
