– Commander Ramlakhan reminds ranks of their oath

COMMANDER of Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne), Superintendent Jairam Ramlakhan, has urged ranks to leave their seats and get to know their communities as he encouraged them to remain professional in the execution of their duties.

The Commander made this disclosure on Wednesday last, after he wrapped up several visits within the division. The inspection commenced on Tuesday last in the number one Sub-Division which covers Central, Sisters, Reliance and Lewis Manor Police Station/Outposts.

It continued on Wednesday in the number two and three Sub-Divisions which cover Albion, Rose Hall, Whim, Mibicuri, Adventure, #62 and Springlands Police Stations/Outposts.
“Remember the oath you took; be impartial in your enquiries and investigations. Our citizens rightly expect professional services and protection from us. Protect them from those who wish to do them harm and engage in criminal enterprises. Protect their homes, their schools and their businesses” the Commander emphasised.
He further added: “During your spare time, open the Standing Orders, the Police Act Chapter 16:01, the Police Disciplinary Act Chapter 17:01 and read them. You will not only learn from them but they will make you a rounded policeman.”

He also reminded ranks that Standing Order 12 speaks of appearance and conduct which he said should be high on the agenda of every law enforcement officer.
Additionally, the Commander also instructed that weekly drills and instruction classes be held in keeping with the Force’s Standing Orders.

Accompanying the Commander during the visits/inspections were Superintendent Yonnett Stephen, Superintendent Karl Wilson and Assistant Superintendent Shreenarine Laljit, along with the division’s human resource officer, Woman Inspector A. Solomon.
