Dear Editor,
The report in the Stabroek News on May 6, 2008 of the inability of the police to support Sheneiza Khan is an indictment of the police response to domestic violence. The Guyana Police Force has benefited from support from international donor agencies and NGOs to provide training to the police officers in domestic violence response. The GPF has also institutionalised aspects of this training.
However, what has been lacking, is a clear policy from the GPF on how police will deal with matters of domestic violence.
