THE Joint Services are maintaining patrols countrywide, moreso in Region 4, with the seven policing divisions reporting that, up to press time, all ranks are in-lying and will remain vigilant as they continue to police Guyana during this elections period.Guyana awaits announcement of the final results of the general and regional results.

The Guyana Chronicle spoke last night with all police divisional commanders — Assistant Commissioners Clifton Hicken, Brian Joseph, Christopher Griffith and Marlon Chapman; Senior Superintendents Calvin Brutus and Courtney Ramsey, and Superintendent Kevin Adonis, each of whom reported a state of relative calm in the seven divisions of the Guyana Police Force up to press time.

The Commanders explained that they remain vigilant in the discharge of their duties, and exhorted citizens to let goodwill prevail during this period.

They also encourage citizens to report any incident of crime at the earliest possible time to the police Quick Response Hotline # 225-6411, which has been solely dedicated to the receipt of information/reports on serious or unusual incidents that citizens may observe.

The Quick Response Hotline is based at Force Headquarters at Eve Leary, and is being monitored on a 24-hour basis by senior ranks of the Force.

Citizens may also forward information/reports to the law enforcers through the “Guyana Police Force” Facebook page, which is also being monitored on a 24-hour basis. (Michel Outridge)
