Commissioner of Police (ag) Nigel Hoppie yesterday disclosed that a total of forty-five ranks are presently before the court on various charges.

He was at the time delivering remarks at the opening ceremony of the Guyana Police Force’s (GPF) Annual Officer’s Conference where he urged ranks to “always” be professional and avoid corrupt practices.

 “We are still battling with the deviant behaviour of some ranks particularly corruption but we are dealing with those who wish to tarnish our image and undermine the great strides we have been making, either departmentally or criminally as warranted,” Hoppie said.
