Noise nuisance and police response

Aug 22, 2024 Letters

Dear Editor,

After listening to my neighbour blasting music throughout the whole day on Sunday 18th August, I decided to call tel. 2682222 at 7:21pm and inform the officer at Leonora Police Station of my problem and asked if they can visit the area and request the music to be turned down.

The officer informed me that the patrol will visit the area shortly.

At 10:21pm I called again and another officer claimed she took over shift and no one informed her, so again I made another request and she also said a patrol will visit the area.

11:03pm I called again and she informed me that the patrol in Tuschen dealing with a domestic problem and immediately after, they will come to my location. 11:48 I called back and once more was told that the patrol is in De Kinderen and coming right away. At 12:20pm I finally doze off with music still blasting loudly.

Editor, the Leonora Police Station is two villages away from me, less than a 10 minutes drive, and the Commander’s office is right there. The noise nuisance was almost unbearable throughout the day, and to make matters worse, the people put their boxes out in the yard and pointed them to my house directly. Between 7:21pm to 11:48pm, I made six phone calls to the Guyana Police Force for assistance and sadly, I couldn’t get any. I’m guessing because I have no contacts I could call or whether I am supposed to offer any money to get assistance. After six telephone calls and no help, if I had taken action in my own hands, would I have been the bad one? Is there any other agency I could approach when I cannot get help from those who are supposed to protect and serve?

Sincerely,

Sahadeo Bates
