Dear Editor,
Please allow me to express my disappointment with the recent advisory coming out of the Guyana Police Force about the Police in plain clothes and unmarked vehicles are not authorized to stop vehicles. It is my understanding that a police officer is a twenty four hours worker but he has specified active duty hours. Thus in this regard in and out of uniform he is a policeman and has the authority to effect an arrest. In this regard if he is in civilian clothing and notice a crime or is on special assignment – intelligence gathering, and decided to stop search and detain a suspect then such an advisor ties his hands and may very well compromise his investigation. In other words, waiting for a uniform rank might be valuable time loss. What the Guyana Police Force should insist that all officers while on or off duty and want to effect an arrest or conduct a search they must identify themselves as part of standard operational procedure. Therefore I find the advisory very retrogressive and counterproductive.
