MS. Carlotta Dodson, former Assistant Commissioner of Police and Deputy Chief Immigration Officer died at a city hospital on Monday, following a brief period of illness. 

Carlotta Dodson, D.S.M (W142) who had been a member of the Guyana Police Force for more than 30 years, served with distinction, rising to the level of Assistant Commissioner of Police. She served as Deputy Chief Immigration Officer for a number of years, retiring on February 1, 2002.
Ms. Dodson was, for a number of years, attached to the confidential registry of the Commissioner of Police.
Expressing deep sadness at her passing, Deputy Commissioner (Administration), Balram Persaud said of Ms. Dodson, “She was always a cheerful person, even though a strict disciplinarian. Generally a quiet individual, she was a ‘people person’ and you could have communicated with her easily.”
After retirement, Ms. Dodson who had been an active member of First Assembly of God Church for well over 20 years took up appointment as Administrator of ‘Generation Next’, a position she held to the time of her death. ‘Generation Next’, owned and operated by First Assembly of God Church, L&P D’Urban Street, Wortmanville, is a premier Christian academic institution that offers technical and vocational training for young people.
The Guyana Chronicle joins in extending profound condolences to the bereaved relatives and friends of Ms. Carlotta Dodson.
