Dear Editor,
Allow me to respond to retired Assistant Commissioner Clinton Conway’s letter dating October 8th, 2015. Conway stated, “ It is Mr. Ramjattan’s duty to ensure that police trainers and educators are first and foremost dedicated professionals.”
Conway wants Ramjattan to micro manage the police, when in fact it is the police administrator’s duty to ensure that they equip their personnel with adequate tools, both materially and educationally.
How ironic for Conway to preach to us when this man was in an ideal position at one time running the Training section. He could have made a big difference by putting some of these plans into motion, and help make the police force a better organization.
Mr. Editor, Conway boasts that as a graduate of the Behavioral Science Course at the FBI, it provided him with necessary skills and attitude to perform reasonably well in his role as a Law Enforcement officer. It was Conway’s responsibility, when he returned to Guyana, to teach what he learned, so that others can benefit. One of the reasons foreign governments send their administrators to the FBI Academy is to make them better educated on subject matters, and they, upon returning, teach their peers.
Mr. Editor, I saw firsthand the workings of the Organization some forty years ago. Sad to say in 2015 it is worse. The mentality, criminality, ineptness, flagrant disregard for Human Rights and uneducated members, who, because of special contacts become members, regardless of if they can read or write.
It is the responsibility of police administrators to police their subordinates to ensure that they carry out their mandates, in an effective and professional manner. As the saying goes, the apple does not fall far from the tree. What takes place below can be traced right back to the top, which includes the Commissioner Of Police. Jagmohan
