AFC urges security forces to continue to display professionalism

Nov 13, 2008 Letters

Dear Editor,
The recent success of the security forces in apprehending, and bringing to prosecution, the perpetrators of the GuySuCo payroll heist is commendable, and more so, because, when juxtaposed against reports and images of torture, inhumane detention conditions, and high-handedness that have beleaguered the forces over the past weeks, the public has been able to witness a display of proficiency and professionalism instead of one of incompetence and ineffectiveness.

The professional manner, in which the forces went about the tasks of investigating and apprehending the suspects, and with the minimum loss of life, is proof positive that they know how to behave and act professionally when the need arises, and that within the forces are outstanding officers and ranks.

The AFC salutes all those involved in the operation and say well done, especially for keeping the loss of life to a minimum.

The AFC also takes the opportunity to point out to the police and army hierarchy that the benefits of apprehension, as against killing, are immediately obvious as facts and information on the Bartica massacre and other high profile crimes are coming to light.

This can only put paid to widespread speculation as to what really happened and who was involved, and serve to enhance the image of the forces at this time.

The Police Force is urged to explore and investigate every lead that has been presented as a result of the successful ending of this event.
