THE Guyana Government has given the green light for woman Superintendent of Police Desiree Fowler to participate in the United Nations Workshop and Annual Training Conference of the International Association of Women Police being held in the UK.Superintendent Fowler is expected along with several other female police ranks to travel to the UK for the conference which will be held from August 21 to 27.
The announcement was made yesterday by Minister of Governance Raphael Trotman while he was chairing the post-cabinet press briefing at the Ministry of the Presidency.
Over the years the Guyana Police Force has been participating in the conference and Guyana’s delegations were headed in the past by now Senior Superintendent of Police Maxine Graham.
It was only on Tuesday that Superintendent Fowler assumed the role of acting Deputy Commander of the police ‘A’ Division, which was reported by this publication.
Fowler has since been receiving congratulatory messages and calls over social media and via her office line on the acting promotion.
The Superintendent of Police was expected to act in the position for a month but now that she was cleared to travel out of the country the Division will now have to look within its ranks to put another individual to hold the post, until the substantive Deputy Commander Dion Moore returns from holding the Traffic Chief portfolio as the senior officer at that post is on annual leave.
