Dear Editor,
The National Community Policing Executive (NCPE) is also conducting a probe into the circumstances leading up to the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Godfrey Jaggroo of BelleVue, West Bank Demerara at about 19:00hrs on Wednesday, December,18, 2013 at Belle Vue, WBD.
CPG members, particularly rural constables are all made fully aware of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) in community policing, and where their responsibilities and operational boundaries lie. They should always act and react within the permitted confines of the law, and not against it; exercise the use of peaceful control approaches, and never engage in negative excessive measures outside the SOP. They are also constantly reminded of the serious consequences of acting outside the confines of the law and the SOP.
The NCPE expresses our sincere regret about the unfortunate and unwanted loss of human life, and offers our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the late Godfrey Jaggroo.
Yours faithfully,
Edward A Persaud,
Public Relations Officer
NCPE
