A SWAT team will not curb crime
Dear Editor,
I applaud cabinet for finally deciding on setting up a SWAT team. Unfortunately this move will not help in curbing the current crime rate as a Swat Team is a reactive unit. A Swat unit must be supported by an effective Criminal Intelligence Unit and prompt response capability.
I would also recommend that operatives for the Swat Unit be drawn from the Guyana Defence Force, seconded to the Police Force and Managed by a Police Superintendant and an Army Major both reporting to deputy Commissioner Crime.
To have such a Unit under the command of the officer in charge of TSU would be a DISASTER.
