“We must come quickly to appreciate and understand that no conduct whether unethical, whether immoral, whether criminal, whether unprofessional will be spared,” Acting Police Commissioner David Ramnarine warned graduates of several police courses on Thursday as he lamented about ranks being accused of multiple crimes over the year.
Ramnarine gave the feature address at a graduation at the Officers’ Training Centre, Eve Leary where participants from the Guyana Police Force, Guyana Defence Force, Guyana Revenue Authority, Department of Labour in the Ministry of Social Protection, the City Constabulary and the Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit, graduated in four courses: Elementary Prosecutors Course, Continuous Professional Development Programme, CID Induction and Special Constable Initial Training.
“Unprofessional conduct… in the last months they have been all over the press. Not to say that we didn’t have police involved in criminal acts before but more so now that the world is one small global village society has improved. NGOs (Non-governmental Organisations), other arms, other interest groups are brought to bear on matters and almost everything gets into the public domain,” Ramnarine said.
