‘G’ Division says farewell to retiring commander
Ranks comprising every fraction of “G” Division held a simple ceremony to say farewell to Assistant Commissioner, Claire Jarvis, who is proceeding into retirement. The event was held Thursday evening, at the Richard Fikhal Training College, at Suddie.
Jarvis chalked up 36-years of sterling service to the Guyana Police Force.
Before she addressed her junior colleagues, ranks from various sections of “G” Division took time to express their gratitude, sang songs and recite poems.
In her address, Jarvis first explained that her primary reason for joining the Force in 1976 was basically her love and motivation for policing. Jarvis added that due to the fact that her father was a policeman and having had the experience being exposed to various police stations at a young age, her motivation more or less was to become a police officer.
Assistant Commissioner Jarvis told her colleagues that operating as a police rank in those days, one of the primary focus was more on “quality”.”Everything the men did women had to do.”
The senior female police officer added that, they must decide whether they have joined the force either as a career, or because they hadn’t anything else to do, or to become rich.
A policeman’s integrity and conduct are critical, she said. Police ranks must at all times operate in the area of professionalism. She argued if all police officers operate professionally, especially to members of the public, reports against police officers will be few.
The senior police officer added that while there were a few female officers who would have attained her position to date, her journey was tough but she is proud to have completed it. “Don’t be caught being corrupt”.
