Dear Editor,
I must extend congratulation for a story so well written. This information must have been given by one of the very few sensible and academically inclined police officers. However, there are a few issues that need clarification – which I hope your proactive reporters will pursue.
I personally know Mr. McBean and being a person of high moral standing and impeccable professional character, I doubt that he would have proceeded on leave without following the correct protocol for the granting of study leave. The public needs the truth!
In any case, even if he did not follow protocol, which I doubt, shouldn’t he (being a public servant) be entitled to some sort of Special Leave to undertake such a prestigious Scholarship in the UK? This young officer, who has given our country over 16 years of continuous service, took nine months of leave to complete a Master of Science Degree in Global Policing and Security; does his action warrants a dismissal?
This move seems outrageous.
Considering the recent event of a corrupted police officer being promoted, even though overwhelming evidence is available to support his involvement in drug crime, is quite a slap in the face of all Guyanese, when compared to Mr. McBean’s alleged unofficial leave.
I hope a day will soon come when all citizens would be treated equally by the Government, irrespective of ethnicity or political affiliation. Mr. McBean’s case undoubtedly appears to be one of high level decimation. Concerned citizen
