I would be remiss if I fail to extend my congratulations to the Guyana Police Force (GPF) on a continuing job well done. I read the Kaieteur News on-line edition early every morning on arising – this is nothing short of a ritual for me.
As a former member of the GPF Special Branch division, I take an intense interest in the activities of the Force in protecting the citizens of my beloved country. A land I am looking forward to returning to permanently one day.
As can be expected, the low points of the GPF’s performance have caused me consternation on occasion. Slow response to citizens’ requests, due to lack of vehicles or just plain disinterest on the part of some ranks who fail to appreciate their oath to protect and serve.
However I’ve noted with much pride the recent successes of the Guyana Police in resolving recent crime against honest law-abiding citizens and solving cold cases. The speed in concluding these matters are a source of pride for me, that should send shivers through the spine of the criminal element. I’m truly filled with prided in reading about these successes and would be ashamed of myself if I fail to lend my bit of congratulations.
Case in point, the demise of those thugs in Berbice, compliments of the SWAT team sent there to put an end to their cancerous activities. Job well done guys; keep up the fine work and stay safe as you serve and protect.
Respectfully,
Claudeston Massiah
