Strange happenings in law enforcement

Dear Editor,
Five years ago, a stock of AK-47 assault rifles disappeared from Camp Ayanganna. The entire country was nervous as the joint services conducted a countrywide investigation and search for the weapons.
Shortly after that, a sheep disappeared overnight from the pound at a police station on the Essequibo coast.
Even though the disappearance of a single sheep seemed insignificant in comparison to the disappearance to the army weapons, I suggested that both matters ought to have been investigated with similar zest and vigour. (See SN.14-02-2007).
The cut and trust of my suggestion then was intended to show that public confidence in the police was at an all-time low. Sad to say that since then things have gotten worse. This is evidenced by a plethora  of reported incidents including the loss of pension money from the Force’s finance office , the death of two ranks at the Springlands police station, and the ‘Merai allegation’ to name a few.
Many of the allegations and complaints made against the police have remained unresolved because it is said that the police cannot investigate the police. While that may be an assumption to which I do not subscribe, the reported disappearance of one million dollars from the Central Police station certainly suggests to me that the police can steal from the police.
