Dear Editor,

Kaieteur News – I must say, I’m somewhat surprised that Region Two Commander, Denise Griffith, is asking the public to expose corrupt officers.
The GPF needs to make it easier for John Public to do such. For years there are laws against tinted vehicles and, periodically, they would make a huge fuss and then everything quells down. Most police officers, who own a car very many times have them heavily tinted, and they would drive to work and park it before the full eyesight/vision of police seniors.
None gets penalized, except when they are forced to remove their tint. Why isn’t disciplinary action taken against them? That’s the only way they would stop breaking the laws they are supposed to uphold.
Editor, many officers practice their corrupt acts with full knowledge of their colleagues. They watch one another’s backs! When they are on the ‘hunt’ for money, they find the smallest issue to harass you and force you into offering them a bribe. Commanders and Senior Officers should randomly visit the lockups and speak with those who are detained.
Some are for simple reasons, but they are being forced into situations where they have to offer bribes for their release. They should start disciplinary action against members for those kinds of situations. So, if the force doesn’t start first, how will they get support from the public?
