Top Cop says ‘not bothered’ by spike as serious crimes down overall

Leslie James

Commissioner of Police Leslie James has said that while there has been a recent spike in crime, he is “not bothered” because the Guyana Police Force has recorded an overall drop in serious crimes.

“…There are few sensational crimes that are occurring. We have noted that there might have been a spike but I can say in terms of serious crimes at the moment we have a minus 3.4 percent in serious crimes, generally,” James told reporters on Friday.

He was at the time responding to questions asked by the media on the sidelines of a graduation for new recruits at the Tactical Service Unit (TSU) Square, Eve Leary.
