Another police rank has levelled major allegations against a member of the Guyana Police Force leadership, whom he says has been running corruption rackets in ‘B’ Division (Berbice).
The rank, who has seniority, told Sunday Stabroek that he opted to speak out after he saw junior ranks breaking their silence on the state of affairs in the division, where the senior officer had once been stationed. The senior officer is presently stationed in Georgetown.
“When he call you and tell you take care of a matter, you got to do what he say or is problem for you,” the rank explained, while noting that the senior officer has “business friends” around ‘B’ Division, whom he protects.
He cited a case where the senior officer had ordered that a case against a businessman from the West Coast of Berbice “go away.” He said the businessman had been intoxicated and discharged his firearm, which resulted in a report being lodged with the police.
