Could we request similar help from the U.S. as Jamaica has done?

TIMES INT'L

Dear Editor,
I learnt that Jamaica is set to get assistance in dealing with organised crime from prosecutors in the United States, and I am wondering if Guyana cannot make a similar request from that country to help us in crime fighting.
It is expected that the U.S will send prosecutors to Jamaica to assist the relevant ministries in prosecuting and bringing those who commit crimes to justice.
That assistance falls within the partnership between the United States and the Caribbean through the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative designed to combat the drug trade and other transnational crimes that threaten regional security.
From all indications, the Jamaican government had indicated that it needed that kind of support in terms of ensuring that those behind organised crimes were brought to justice in a timely manner.
While this is not to say that we ourselves cannot deal with our problems, such assistance will fast-track and bring closure to some of the high level drug-related and other matters which are pending for many years now in the country.
This is just a suggestion which I think the ministry of home affairs should give consideration to.
Yours sincerely,
H Hackett
