Anxious police ranks are on an indefinite wait for the release of the Force’s annual list of promotions.
The promotions were to have taken effect from January 1st, but have been put on hold, despite the many vacancies that exist both at the junior and senior levels.
No official reason was given for the delay, but according to Police Commissioner Henry Greene, the non-swearing in of the members of the Police Service Commission (PSC), is one of the main factors influencing the release of the promotions list.
The Police Service Commission is the body responsible for the promotion of officers from the rank of Inspectors, while the Commissioner can promote force members up to the rank of Sergeant.
This newspaper was informed that although the members of the PSC have been identified, there appears to be some disagreement with regards to the appointment of the chairman.
However, it was pointed out that this situation had existed before and it did not affect the promotion of the junior ranks, which is the responsibility of the Commissioner of Police.
Kaieteur News understands that there are vacancies in the Force for about 50 Corporals and 40 Sergeants. It is not too clear when the situation will be rectified, with some suggesting that promotions will not be effected until the Force’s anniversary in July.
