CANU gets new head
James G. Singh has been appointed to head the Customs Anti Narcotics Unit (CANU) with effect from October 1, 2008. Singh was selected from among a number of persons who applied for the post and were interviewed.
According to a press release from the Home Affairs Ministry, Singh has a Diploma in Public Safety and Security Management from the University of Guyana, an International Diploma in Business Management–Cambridge International College, and a Diploma in Electronics Engineering from the De Vry Institute of Technology, Toronto, Canada.
His responsibilities will include controlling the operations of the CANU according to the Laws of Guyana, relevant policies, procedures and standard operational procedures laid down by the Administration, and will be subject to the general guidance of the Minister of Home Affairs.
Earlier this year, several operatives on the unit, including former head Orville Nedd, were sent home after they failed polygraph tests.
