The Guyana Prison Service (GPS) has received over 40 applications following a call for retired senior non-commissioned officers to help boost the prison system’s strength and interviews may start as early as tomorrow, according to acting Prisons Director Gladwin Samuels.
Samuels, who seemed encouraged by the number of applications, told Stabroek News that in addition to the retired officers, prison officers who were dismissed and those who left on their own have also applied.
Samuels had announced in a statement issued by the Department of Public Information (DPI) on July 30 that in an effort to strengthen the capacity of the GPS, applications from retired senior non-commissioned officers of the Guyana Defence Force, Guyana Police Force and the GPS would be considered.
