Congratulations to the Commissioner of Police

TIMES INT'L

Dear Editor,

I would like to congratulate the President of Guyana for confirming the Acting Commissioner of Police as Commissioner. Praise must be given to President Ramotar for his action.

In my assessment of Guyana, PNC is still having control of the GPF and the GDF.  It will be very hard for the PPP/C or the President Ramotar Administration to change things  because of the PNC planting  their people in all key positions.

Under the PNC, experienced or educated Police were not needed. All what was needed was a PNC card. There were Police officers, whom I know personally, were educated and very experienced and were put to do nothing with by the PNC Administration. They eventually left their jobs. It was not what you knew, but who you knew.

Mr Persaud, you’ve come a long way and have a far way more to go in your endeavor. You may want to turn around and look back at the path you have taken, where you came from, and how you journeyed to where you are today.

Your past will be very helpful for you to carry on. I am sure you have the ability to administrate and manage the challenges and changes coming your way. It is a task for a giant and you have to weather the storm.

Recently, President Ramotar promised to reinforce the important role the Guyana Police Force plays in ensuring the safety and security of citizens.  The President emphasized the importance of a strong and professional Force for the maintenance of social order for the protection of the people from crime.

This is very important in policing. The President continued to also lay out the reforms that I believe are necessary to bring the GPF in line with the needs of all Guyanese and put forward his 15-points anti-crime plans. This will be your job Mr Persaud.  President Ramotar has said it all.
