The Guyana Police Force (GPF) said on Tuesday night that it was never the intention to remove the name of Felix Austin, the first Guyanese Police Commissioner, from its training college.
The statement came a week after retired Assistant Commissioner of Police, Paul Slowe wrote a letter to this newspaper raising concerns about the GPF’s announcement that it planned to change the name of the Felix Austin Police College to the Guyana Police Force Academy.
Slowe’s letter was followed by other expressions of public dissent but still the police did not relent.
