Delay affecting policing group

Sep 22, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
I am a Community Policing Group (CPG) member in Success East Coast Demerara.
I am aware that over 100 CPG members between Success and Enmore have completed documentation and have submitted same to ‘C’ Division Headquarter, since 2008, but to date they cannot be sworn in because the Crime Lab cannot complete background checks on these individuals.
In fact, several enquiries at Cove & John Police Station produce the feeling that documents may have disappeared.
Whatever the delay in swearing in Rural Constables, it is causing frustration within the membership, and we are led to believe that certain people simply want to frustrate community policing growth.
I urge the Honourable Minister of Home Affairs and the Commissioner of Police to intervene, so that the swearing in is done and precepts issued to those who accept that community policing has a role to play in making our communities safe.
I compliment the Minister of Home Affairs and the Commissioner of Police for the initiatives and resources being directed to community policing, but I must also say that there are many in the Guyana Police Force, who wish to see the movement stagnate and die so that they can proceed with their ‘runnings’.
David Somwar
