SN shows hostility to the police by alleging human rights’ violations; the police should be applauded

Dear Editor,

The Stabroek News’s editorials consistently improvise a barrage of attacks on the Guyana Police Force (GPF). The editorial of December 2, 2008 insinuated that the Guyana Police Force has no proper intelligence network.

It must be made very clear that the Stabroek News would be the last to know about any intelligence that the Guyana Police Force gathers, since it seems to exhibit lots of hostility to the Guyana Police Force, by virtue of its consistent improper anecdotal remarks of alleged human rights violations perpetrated by the Guyana Police Force.

And to suggest that the ‘Gibson crew’ were inept criminals seems to attribute that no credit should be given to the Guyana Police Force’s capacity to detect and prevent crime.

Over the last number of months we have seen significant successes in protecting citizens, detecting and preventing crime, etc, and the Guyana Police Force should be applauded for their accomplished successes.

Yours faithfully,
Elizabeth Daly
