Better response needed from the police

Dec 11, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
The bandits seem to have shifted operations to the Esssequibo Coast, yet the police seem not to be aware of this.
Not withstanding the recent arrests, the response has been poor to date, given the layout of the Coast. I cannot imagine why there has not been a better response from the administrators of the police force. Are they waiting for people to be killed?
Having the army there is a waste of time as we have seen how corrupt they are and no amount of apology from Commodore Gary Best can change that. They are inhabited by a bunch of crooks and thieves.
The police force is not far behind too and the daily news bear this out. The question then is who do the people turn to for protection?
Perhaps it’s time to bring back a system of vigilante and let citizens deal with thieves and bandits when they are caught. The Government has once again proved its inability to protect the people.
Where do we go from here? Where are all the writers? Why the silence? Are they all frustrated by the ineptitude or just waiting to be attacked?
P. Swamy
