Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee has challenged the Guyana Police Force to devise a fresh and innovative strategy to address the crime situation in the interior.Rohee issued the challenge at the recently concluded Police Officers’ Conference, adding that “any shift in crime trends must see a corresponding shift in the strategy and tactics of the Guyana Police Force in its efforts to fight crime.”The interior locations have recorded the highest amount of murders for last year. This is in addition to a spate of brazen robberies committed on mining operations.However,Wholesale MLB Jerseys 2018, while many of the murders have escaped prosecution, the police have been able to crack a few criminal gangs that were operating in the area.According to Rohee,Cheap NBA Store, the Guyana Police Force experienced periods of successes and instances of challenges, and it is his impression that in general,Cheap NFL Jerseys, they responded to those challenges with determination and vigour.“I think that in relation to crime,Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys, the performance of the Force was generally credible, if the serious crime figures are to be used as an indicator. Although the reports of serious crimes increased from 3,457 in 2010 to 3,559 in 2011, reductions were achieved in the areas of murders and robbery under arms with the use of firearms,” Rohee stated.He said that in 2011 his Ministry was however concerned over the shift in criminal activities to the gold mining districts in the interior.The minister said that there has been a suggestion from the Senior Management of the Force that most of the murders in the interior were of the disorderly type.But he pointed out that the general public, on the other hand, view a murder as just what it is, thus prevention is a more viable option to address the issue.“There can be no denial that the increase in gold mining has brought new challenges for law enforcement in this country,” he said.He said that he was also concerned about the sporadic robberies that took place on the Corentyne and in the Canje areas in Berbice, parts of the East Coast of Demerara, and in Georgetown last year.“My earlier observations do not suggest that there was full satisfaction with the performance of the Force in reducing crime. More could have been done,” he said.To this end, the minister in his address to the officers said that the utilisation of the Initial Crime Information System (ICIS) is an excellent tool for the management and operations of the Force.According to Rohee, there is the need for more training and sensitisation on the ICIS to be done at the Junior Level of the force, in order that maximum benefits could accrue to the organization.“Modern day policing requires the use of faster inputs and analyses of data to guide operations.
