Hiring retired senior non-commissioned officers will result in less time being spent on training and will boost the human resources of the Guyana Prison Service (GPS) but close attention will be paid to the ability of applicants to perform efficiently and effectively, acting Prison Director Gladwin Samuels said.
“…While we do not intend to discriminate against anybody, physical structure and health will be taken into consideration…I will not be prepared to employ persons who have to go to clinic every other day…so you gotta be able to deal with the rigours of the job, health and otherwise. You must be able to stand up to [your duties],” he told the Sunday Stabroek in a recent interview while adding that while the GPF is in need of staff, it is not “going to compromise quality for quantity.”
