How heartless could these people be?
Dear Editor,
How heartless could the Guyana Police Force be when they call out their ranks to work and then leave them to make their way home at odd hours of the night/morning.
This disgusting trend must be addressed as soon as possible.
Ever so often ranks of the Guyana Police Force are called upon to provide security for major events, most of which run late into the night or early morning.
Some of us leave their children (some single parent mothers), husbands, wives at home to protect to and serve those who come out to enjoy the activity.
Although sometimes these duties are paid for by private concerns, the ranks have no choice but to obey the orders of our superiors who sit in their homes or enjoy the activities with their families while we work our butts off. Mr. Editor the problem is not that we are reluctant to work, but what arrangements are put in place to get us home whenever these activities are finished.
We the junior ranks are left to stand for hours awaiting transportation to take us home at odd hours while our officers enjoy the luxury of their duty free vehicles.
To make it worse some of these officers even use the police vehicles to take them home, while their SUVs are enjoyed by their spoiled off springs and their friends who laugh at us whenever we apprehend them for any wrongdoing.
Many entities including those of the public sector make proper arrangement for transportation for their staff whenever they have t work beyond a certain hour; why can’t the Guyana Police Force do the same?
After all policemen and women are transferred at will to locations far from their homes and it is heartless to leave them to make their way home at 02:00 hours, jostling with persons they may have had cause to upbraid while working at some of these major events.
Some of us are even scared to keep on our uniforms- so much for pride in our work. Will the Guyana Police Force wait for its ranks to be targeted by criminals again before they start to show some concern. Again I ask, how heartless could these people be?
