The Joint Services’ efforts are bringing about desired results

Nov 16, 2008 Letters

Dear Editor,
The Joint Services have and are coming in for a lot of deserved recognition and praise by many for their prompt and successful response to the heist of a $17.2 million GuySuCo payroll, which was recovered.

Their response was massive, well-organised and competently directed, which resulted in the apprehension of the entire gang, with the shooting to death of two in armed confrontations.

There can be no doubt that law-abiding citizens are totally pleased with this latest success by the crime-fighting agencies.

What has emerged also is that several of the criminals involved were also implicated in a number of other crimes – murders, rapes and other robberies.

The successful actions by the Joint Services are removing a number of dangerous criminals from circulation in the society, resulting in the greater engendering of a feeling of increased safety and security in the minds of the general public.

The President and government, over the years, embarked on a process of improving the professionalism of the forces, with the support and assistance of several overseas law-enforcement agencies, as well as governments, and with the cooperation and collaboration of ranks and officers.

Tremendous resources have been invested – financial, technical, logistical, training and human resources – and the increasing anti-crime successes underline that these investments and efforts have been bringing the desired results.
