Why no policewomen in the GPF detachment for the Americas summit?

Dear Editor,

Congratulations and best wishes to the Guyanese security contingent (GDF and GPF) to the Fifth Summit of the Americas in Trinidad and Tobago.

I am a bit puzzled, however, at the exclusion of female ranks from the Guyana Police Force’s detachment. Is there some policy which prohibits them from being included in such ventures?

Yours faithfully,
