Police to split interior Division with two separate Commanders

Dec 30, 2012 News

 

After long and careful deliberations, the Guyana Police Force is finally contemplating a return to the pre- 1992 position by splitting the large interior division into two separate divisions.
Senior sources in the force have said that instead of the one E&F Division, there will now be two separate divisions headed by two separate Commanders.
For quite a while it was argued that the current E&F Division, which covers Region One, Seven, Eight, Nine and Ten, was too large to be effectively controlled by one Commander, whose office is located at the Police Headquarters, Eve Leary.
Under the proposed new structure, E Division will now encompass, Linden, Kwakwani and other parts of Region Ten with the Commander being based at Linden.
The F Division will cover the other interior locations including Regions One, Sections of Region Seven, Region Eight and Region Nine.
This newspaper was informed that Senior Superintendent of Police, Owen Trotz, will head the Region Ten ‘E’ Division, while Senior Superintendent Ramsey is touted to be the Commander of ‘F’ Division and will be operating from Georgetown.
The current Commander of the Interior Division, Assistant Commissioner Gavin Primo, will be retiring soon.
The move to split the division into two is not new, as they were only merged as one in 1992.
Meanwhile, a major reshuffle of the other Commander positions is imminent with word circulating that there will soon be new commanders of the Force’s main divisions.
According to reliable sources, Assistant Commissioner Balram Persaud will be posted to head the Force’s Administrative section, a post that will be vacated by the retiring Assistant Commissioner Clare Jarvis.
His post as the head of the Police Operations will be taken by Assistant Commissioner George Vyphuis, who will be replaced as Commander of ‘A’ Division by Derrick Josiah.
Josiah’s post as Commander of ‘B’ Division will be filled by Assistant Commissioner Brian Joseph, who will be replaced as Traffic Chief by Senior Superintendent Dale Alves, the current Commander of the Essequibo Coast Division.
These new moves are expected to be effected early in the New Year.
And it comes at a time when Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee is expected to outline improved strategies to deal with the country’s security sector.
