Police to maximise use of manpower in Christmas policing plan -plainclothes detectives an integral part

 

ON Monday, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) unveiled its Christmas policing plan which covering those sections of the city which are the hub of commercial activities for the festive season. 

The plan entails utilising all their ranks, including those attached to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID).

According to Crime Chief, Leslie James, there are a few surprises for criminal elements who are bent on getting easy money for this season and urged them to desist from committing robberies since they have measures in place.

He stated that CID ranks will be strategically placed in all city wards, especially the busy downtown area to monitor activities and they will blend into the crowd nicely, since they will be dressed in civilian clothing.

James said the GPF is ready and equipped to fully police Georgetown for the Christmas season and gave the assurance that criminal elements will be dealt with since all ranks have since been briefed on their duties during this period.

He added that the GPF policing plan also caters for the business community, but still advised that they put measures in place to secure themselves nevertheless.

James once again called on all to be aware at all times, especially when conducting business and monetary transactions and to be alert and cooperate with the police.

He noted that the Christmas plan was unveiled by the police to prevent the commission of crimes that are likely to occur as a result of the increase in commercial activities for the festive season.

James added that in addition, the police will also be involved in the following:
> Maintenance of an intelligence-led posture
> Community Policing/GPF collaboration
> Private sector/GPF collaboration
> Robust beat patrols
> Stop-and -search operations by anti-crime ranks
> Monitoring of commercial hubs
> Road blocks (snap/deliberate)
> Monitoring of choke points

Here is the math - Police pulls over at least 100 cars per day

 

100 Cars x 2000 Dollar fried rice for each stop = $200,000.00

 

That is 1000 USD per day.

 

I witness this down there. The 100 cars I am talking about is just one stop that one on east bank road by Houston where they are constantly stopping cars. I was there for a few hours watching the operation they stop about 100 cars during that time and that is only half day traffic. They are there in shifts......
