Police Force intensifies breathalyser campaign
THE Guyana Police Force has indicated that, with effect from this weekend, its usage of the Breathalyser will be intensified throughout all Police Divisions.

In a statement, the GPF said it wishes to inform the public that the use of the breathalyser has been made law and the Ministry of Home Affairs has approved its use by ranks of the Guyana Police Force which commenced on June 17th, 2009.

Since the use of that equipment has been implemented in the Police Divisions, forty-three persons have been tested of which twelve were found to be above the legal limit and were charged for the offence of ‘being in-charge of a motor vehicle while your blood alcohol levels were above the limit’. 

Four persons pleaded guilty to the offence while eight others pleaded not guilty and are pending before the courts, the Force reported.
