The Tuschen Police Outpost has made a positive difference
Dear Editor,
Please allow me the opportunity to commend Commander Ian Amsterdam for setting up a policing outpost in the Tuschen New Housing Scheme. This was a very good move on the part of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) and certainly should be replicated in housing schemes across the country.
For quite a while now, residents of Tuschen have been lobbying for the police to set up a permanent base there and we are very pleased that it has become a reality.
Prior to the policing outpost being established in Tuschen, there were a series of crimes being committed almost daily—break and enter, street robberies, traffic violations, loud music and a host of other problems involving neighbours. Almost daily one would hear of a person being robbed or someone being attacked. Now that the police are showing a physical presence in the community, there has been a massive reduction in various crime-related activities.
However, this is not to say that all is well in Tuschen – there are still minor robberies being committed and uncaring residents still turn up the volume of their music very loud and disturb their neighbours etc, but most persons would tell you that they now feel safer as they have easy access to law enforcement officers who always seem to be on the ball and ready to deal with any problem. From my interaction with the officers there, I have noticed a high level of professionalism and a desire on their part to ensure there is peace and order in the community.
I hope that the necessary resources would be provided to this small team of officers so that they can continue to carry out their duties in maintaining law and order in the community. I also call on the residents of the community to work along with the police in ensuring that our society is rid of criminals.
I suggest a regular engagement between the residents and the police so that all stakeholders will understand and appreciate the challenges face and could offer meaningful contributions to solve the various problems confronting us. Thank you GPF for making us feel safer and comfortable. The Tuschen Police Outpost has made a positive impact in our community.
