Does the Guyana Police Force have an Environmental Health, and Safety (EHS) Department?

Dear Editor,

Does the Guyana Police Force have an Environmental Health, and Safety (EHS) Department? I beg this question owing to the fact that within the space of one month three major issues surfaced which would be part of the EHS domain. The issues in reference were our President’s entreaty for the care, maintenance, and operation of its fleet of equipment, the multi-million dollar award for holding a person under inhumane conditions, and the recent fire at the Brickdam Police Station.
If indeed, there is an EHS Department, then serious attention must paid to make it more efficient and effective. Otherwise, the establishment of an EHS Department ought to be of utmost urgency and priority. An EHS Department within the Police Force should be headed by a rank no less than that of a Senior Superintendent as, often times, the rank must operate with the authority of the Commissioner of Police to enforce EHS policies and procedures.

Yours faithfully,
Abraham David
(former professional member of the American Society of Safety Engineers)
