Guyana must be crime free

Dear Editor,

I was lambasted for my remarks in a letter carried in your newspaper on Tuesday, June 12, captioned ‘There needs to be strong leadership in the area of policing.’

As I write this letter, my heart goes out to the police officers who put their lives on the front line to defend innocent citizens and the business people of this country.

I am moved by the recent capture of the gang that robbed the money-changer in America Street and I would wish to commend them for their bravery and the techniques used to apprehend them. In the same breath I would wish to exhort those who are slumbering to take note and to try and improve at whatever level they may be lapsing.

I wish the patrols well in their endeavours. Guyana must be crime free from top to bottom.

Yours faithfully,
Andreiko Basir
