The police are no help at Charity

May 31, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor,
I am writing to bring to your attention that the police at Charity in Region Two are shrinking their responsibility to enforce the law when it comes to dealing with the escalation of noise nuisance affecting me and many others just in the proximity of the police station there.
Instead of prosecution being instituted to serve as a deterrent against the perpetrator (s) of the offence, only frivolous excuses are given by ranks whose conduct is indicative of a mockery to the justice system.
From all appearances, this serious matter is being treated like a big joke to ranks who informed me that visits were made to the business premises but it was not possible to make contact with the D.J, the proprietor, or even the Manager, or Supervisor or any other responsible person.
This kind of balderdash will clearly convince anyone that no rank ever made any visit in keeping with his duty and I was being made a fool of in my quest for the law to be respected and for justice to prevail.
Insult was added to injury when contact was made with a corporal who related to me that the Supervising Officer in charge of the station was out of the district and because of him not being available, no action could be taken.
Assuming there was a murder would it have been treated likewise?
This kind of nonsense cannot be tolerated as it only helps to give protection to an illegality ever so much detrimental to the society.
It is not only ludicrous but preposterous for the absence of the S/O to hinder the work at the station when the concerns and interests of the public are at stake.  Throughout the entire Monday from around 9am to 10:30pm the deafening sound was unbearable. It caused much discomfort to me,  an aged businessman, and to members of my family as well as many other nearby residents.
Making complaints to the police continue to be useless but one must ask from whom it would be possible to get protection? Only with the enforcement of the law, this noise nuisance will be curbed once and for all.  The police need to do their job in conformity with the law and in an efficient manner.
During sittings of the magistrate’s court on Mondays, this nuisance does not exist. Surely the police can ensure that it remains so all the time.
With thanks.
Giri Govind Nauth
