Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee says his ministry is constantly at work ensuring the welfare of officers of its Constituent Departments and he cannot shirk from this responsibility. He made the statement while addressing the media at a press conference on Friday.
According to the Minister, they fully recognise that the absence of the Police Service Commission has temporarily stymied promotion of officers in the Force, from the level of Inspector to Assistant Commissioner of Police. Rohee said that the matter has actively engaged their attention.
“We have already approached the Office of the President requesting an increase in the Guyana Police Force’s establishment at the level of Assistant Superintendent to allow for the creation of posts to facilitate the promotion of Cadet Officers” Rohee noted.
There are no indications that point to promotions being announced at the beginning of the year, as is customary. The reason being touted is the absence of the Police Service Commission.
While the Police Service Commission (PSC) is responsible for the promotion and other matters relating directly to the senior ranks of the force, the junior promotions will suffer, since there will hardly be room for their upward mobility if the vacancies are not created at the top of the Force’s administration.
Without the Police Service Commission there can be no promotions from Inspectors up to Assistant Commissioners of Police. This will come as a major disappointment to several ranks, both senior and junior, many of whom have been stagnated in one position for several years.
The Disciplined Services Commission had recommended that a revitalized cadetship scheme could be canvassed among successful secondary school and university graduates and a Police Academy should be established, with at least one intake of Cadets per year, owing to the need to produce well-educated officers.
There is the argument that as long as the Officer Corps of the Guyana Police Force remains static, there will be little room for upward mobility of the junior ranks.
