In 2008, when he was Crime Chief, former Commissioner of police Seelall Persaud journeyed to the dangerous terrain of Christmas Falls, Upper Berbice River with other officers in an effort to dismantle the notorious Rondel ‘Fineman’ Rawlins gang, which was responsible for several heinous crimes.
Persaud, who chronicles his journey to the area in his recently published book ‘Stepping out of the Herd: My Life in the Guyana Police’ in a chapter titled Addressing National Security Issues, reveals that information came from a source named ‘Kofy’ and the police had the support of businessmen, some of whom hunted in the area.
Persaud’s book, written following his retirement in 2018, is the first by a former head of the Guyana Police Force.
