The Guyana Police Association has warned against any challenge to the controversial appointments of members of the Police Service Commission (PSC), saying it will be seen a direct attack on the welfare of the ranks of the Guyana Police Force (GPF).

In a statement published on the GPF’s Facebook page on Thursday, the Association, which says it represents some 4,500 members of the force, said that it supports President Irfaan Ali’s recent appointment of the PSC members.

“…We support his Excellency President Dr Irfaan Ali appointment of the Police Service Commission and view any challenge(s) of it as a direct attack on the welfare of ranks of the Guyana Police Force and all of Guyana,” the statement said.
