President Bharrat Jagdeo’s 2008 mandate to have 50 Police Cadet Officers appointed and trained, has placed the Guyana Police Force in the dilemma of probably stagnating the elevation of some categories of ranks.Cadet Officers are ranks who have been earmarked to be Gazette Officers of the Force. The rank is just above that of an inspector.The cadet officers eventually become Assistant Superintendents upon successful completion of their Cadetship.So far,Cheap Sports Jerseys, the President’s mandate has been met to an extent with 44 Police Cadet Officers appointed and trained since 2008.The last batch of 15 was commissioned as part of the standard officers’ course No 43, by the President, who is also Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces,Artemi Panarin Jersey, earlier this year.Police Cadet Officer John Baker, who topped the Standard Officers Course No 42 in 2010, receives a special award from Police Commissioner Henry Greene.President Jagdeo had seen this move as a means of strengthening the middle management corps of the Guyana Police Force.However, this newspaper was reliably informed that a group of ranks had written to the Force’s administration expressing concern that such a large Cadet scheme could jeopardise the upward mobility of the ranks below, especially Inspectors and Sergeants.The contention is that with so many junior gazetted officers, there will be very little space for ranks just below to be promoted.For instance, this year the force promoted only nine inspectors to the rank of Assistant Superintendents.But this is compared with a significant number of Sergeants who were promoted to the rank of Inspectors- 24 to be precise; and 40 Corporals to Sergeants.One Officer agreed that there should be some mechanism to ensure that the learned Inspectors and Sergeants of police are not stifled.“I hadn’t really thought about it but the concern makes very good sense,Andre Branch Dolphins Jersey,” the officer pointed out.Invariably,NFL Jerseys China Online, the newly promoted Cadet Officers are placed in positions where they are given responsibilities above those of the Inspectors and Sergeants, who obviously have more experience in policing.This sometimes gives rise to insubordination.According to a Senior Superintendent of Police,Deion Sanders Falcons Jersey, unlike the Military Cadet Scheme where Officers eventually go on and become specialized in specific areas, officers in the Guyana Police Force must be well rounded in policing duties.“We don’t send our officers as a policy to study, say for example, medicine and engineering. We send them to train in police work,” the Senior Superintendent explained.The issue of upward mobility in the Force has been a sore issue for quite some time, with the grouse coming mainly from senior police officers.However, junior ranks have also been showing some concern over the issue.Some senior ranks see the retention of retired officers as a stumbling block to their careers.This was evident with the long retention of former Commissioner Laurie Leyland Lewis and now with the incumbent Henry Greene.Greene’s extended tenure has already seen the retirement of once probable heirs to the top cop position, like Assistant Commissioners Paul Slowe and Krishna Lakeraj.These two officers left the force long after Greene had his tenure extended.At present, including Greene, there are seven retired police officers who had served at the helm of strategic departments of the Guyana Police Force, and this is being seen as a hindrance to other officers who would see themselves as capable of taking up the mantle at the top of the organization.Retired Assistant Commissioner, Mohamed Jameer, has been heading the Police Office of Professional Responsibility for several years, with another Retired Assistant Commissioner Heeralall Mackenlall as his deputy.Retired Assistant Commissioner Cecil Bovell still heads the Force’s Music Department; Retired Assistant Commissioner Ivelaw Whittaker is the Head of the Public Relations Department,China Jerseys Cheap, while Retired Assistant Commissioner Clinton Conway is heading the Felix Austin Police (Training) College.Retired Assistant Commissioner Welton Trotz is the head of the Special Constabulary, and his Deputy is an Inspector.“They are giving the impression that there is no one below to head these departments. Now, how will that make the Officer Corps of the Guyana Police Force feel?” one of the serving officer asked.
