Dear Editor,
The Government needs to equip the joint services with equipment to deal with the current crisis at hand. The recent prison break highlighted the limited number of trucks owned by the GDF and the limited 3-seater Bell 206 helicopters showed the lack of ability to insert troops with the larger 17-seater Bell 412 helicopters the GDF previously used to operate. This limited equipment by the GDF remains obvious when the bandits continue to control the backdam and attack and rob the miners.
There are no larger helicopters or trucks available to provide support. Also, during the recent flood, the need to access the interior of Guyana showed the joint services had no trucks and helicopters to provide relief capabilities. We now have several groups of armed men robbing mining camps in the interior and no means for the government to respond with a large armed force to land in a remote area with helicopters and their own trucks to deal with the rising criminal activity by these gangs.
