Top Cop to retire at month end
Government is set to effect changes at the top of the police force from the end of March with current Commissioner Leroy Brumell being asked for additional service after retirement. This came after Head of State Donald Ramotar via telephone contacted Opposition Leader Brig. David Granger yesterday. Granger made it known he had no objection to the move.
Commissioner
Leroy Brumell
President Donald Ramotar consulted with the Opposition Leader, telling him that Cabinet has decided that Brumell should be allowed to retire as scheduled from this month end.
The two sides agreed that Brumell could be allowed to serve an additional month in office. It is unclear who will succeed Brumell but head of Criminal Investigations, Deputy Commissioner Seelall Persaud is the most senior officer after Brumell and could likely act until a formal appointment is made.
Brumell acted as Police Commissioner following the heat that came the way of now deceased Police Commissioner Henry Greene when he got entangled in an alleged rape of an East Coast Demerara woman.
Brumell acted in the senior capacity for a little over a year before he was officially confirmed at the helm of the Police Force; a confirmation ceremony that moved him to tears when he related his desire and determination to attain the commanding heights of the Guyana Police Force.
