Police stations should have cellphones as oftentimes the landlines do not work

Dear Editor,

It has been a while since the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph landlines at the Aurora Police Station have been working. It has now become customary for the GTT service in this region to go down regularly. But the big question is why the Ministry of Public Security cannot have cellphones placed at this and other police stations and inform the public accordingly.

I have seen it done at other government ministries in this region and it is certainly, in the best of ways, serving in the interest of the public. I see no reason why these police stations cannot have at least one cellphone. The landline number is most times not working. 

Communication is a very important tool in crime fighting.

Yours faithfully,

Archie W. Cordis
