Is the police Intelligence Centre serving its purpose?

Sep 13, 2010 Letters

Dear Editor,
What’s the point of the Commissioner of Police, Henry Greene saying their Intelligence Centre has been picking up certain information, which has suggested that one of the dead men in the Cummings Lodge shooting had failed to deliver a quantity of drugs”. Does this ‘intelligence centre’ only exist to gather information but not to act on it as a law enforcement body?
Did the police receive this information after or before these murders and why was nothing done about it at the time of discovery. Why is it that only when certain people are killed the police suddenly seem to have a truckload of criminal information on the deceased? How convenient since that person is not here to answer to the allegation, and how tragic for Guyanese to know that suspected criminals are allowed to roam and do whatever they want without opposition from a law enforcement body.
Why are suspected criminals allowed to roam this country, why doesn’t the ‘so called’ police ‘intelligence centre’ gather evidence and prosecute suspected criminals, instead of gossiping about them after their death? Whom are the police serving by keeping this information and doling it out after the suspected criminal is killed? Certainly not the law-abiding citizens of Guyana, who crave a crime fee environment.
