The annual promotion of ranks within the Guyana Police Force (GPF) was put on hold yesterday after Acting Chief Justice Roxane George-Wiltshire granted an order blocking the ascent of several senior members within the force to the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police.
Senior Superintendent of Police Calvin Brutus has moved to the High Court to block the promotion of several senior ranks, who were listed for promotions ahead of him despite disciplinary matters pending against them.
He is asking the court to overrule the Police Service Commission (PSC) practice of prohibiting the promotion of ranks who have pending disciplinary matters.
