Senior Superintendent of Police Wayne Cameron, the embattled head of the Police Officers’ Association (POA), has been formally charged in connection with the alleged misappropriation of the organisation’s funds.
The charges were laid on Thursday following a question-and-answer session at the offices of the Counter Terrorism and Organised Crime Investigation Branch in Kingston. SSP Cameron, who attended the session accompanied by his attorneys, reportedly responded only to questions confirming his identity and occupation before charges were brought against him.
Investigators have charged Cameron with five counts of fraudulent conversion and six counts of larceny as a servant. The allegations relate to the reported use of POA funds for personal purposes, with the alleged offences spanning the period between December 2019 and August 2025.
As a consequence of the charges, SSP Cameron has been removed from frontline duty and will be automatically suspended from formal police responsibilities. He is scheduled to appear in court on February 12, 2026.
The development unfolds amid an ongoing and highly publicised legal dispute between Cameron and Police Commissioner Dr Kevin Blake. Earlier this week, Commissioner Blake filed an appeal against a Supreme Court decision that halted his directive to remove Cameron as chairman of the POA.
In September 2025, the Police Commissioner declared the POA leadership position vacant and barred Cameron from representing the association, citing disciplinary issues and the failure of the body to convene meetings. Cameron has consistently rejected that move, arguing that the commissioner lacks the authority under the POA’s constitution to remove him from office.
Investigations into the matter are continuing.
