THE Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) has recommended that departmental charges be laid against Senior Superintendent of Police Errol Watts, who reportedly fuelled his private vehicle from a depot inside of the police compound.

Police Commissioner (ag) David Ramnarine told reporters on Friday that the initial advice from the OPR will stand and that Watts will be charged for his wrongdoing.
“From what I understand is that the file was requested and I do not know who initiated it, that the file be sent for some review and my understanding is that the advice obtained will withstand.”
When asked whether moves are afoot to prevent Watts from being charged departmentally, Ramnarine said, “I appreciate the point you are making, but the initial advice given is good and would stand.”
He was at the time responding to the media at the conclusion of the Guyana Police Force’s re-commissioning of the Felix Austin Police Centre as Zara Cyber Security Centre at Eve Leary on Friday.

Watts was the focus of an internal probe, after it was found that he was fuelling his private vehicle from a depot inside of the police compound. The wrongdoing occurred late 2016 and was recorded and published on social media. The Force had launched an investigation into the matter, as only police vehicles, marked and some un-marked, are authorised to be fuelled at the police depots which are located at several stations across the country.
