Police constable’s plea for justified promotion

Feb 16, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor,
Thank you for this space in your column in which I am very anxious to call on the Police Service Commission whom I am thinking is the relevant authorities to further investigate this malpractice which is going on and gaining its way all the time. I read about the Commission doing away supersession in the Guyana Police Force of which I felt very pleased, I am therefore calling on the Commission to review what takes place when it comes to promotion of junior ranks.
Recently with all the promotions implemented there is one particular rank in E division whom the commander is pushing with promotion though he did not complete two years of serving the police force. That rank gained Lance Corporal without enough knowledge of  proper policing, then full corporal whereby he now completed two years in the force, yet he cannot conduct a proper investigation or write a good statement. Editor this where downfalls comes in the Guyana Police Force. Favouritism is treated as a priority. In this said division, there are ranks that are serving the force for eighteen and twenty years and getting nowhere with promotion. How fair can this be to these senior ranks who will be taking instructions from a child like figure leaving training school only the other day? This suppression is also taking place in B division of which there are ranks who are still serving as a constables and ranks from that very batch have become senior superintendents.
As a constable in the Guyana Police Force after serving for ten years and ones sees no way of gaining promotion. It is not encouraging, especially when all your hard and risky work are considered null and void and one has to witness these junior ranks being favoured and getting promotions without earning it. Please Editor, please send my letter to anyone whom you think will look into this favouritism thing that’s going on. We are all human and deserve what we earned honestly.
Police constable
