The opposition People?s Progressive Party yesterday rejected statements and conclusions made by Police Commissioner Seelall Persaud that crimes are politically influenced.The statements were contained in an article carried in a section of the print media. The PPP said it has taken note of them.According to the article, Commissioner Persaud said it is extremely unfortunate that crime has grown to become a tool for all political oppositions to attack the government of the day.He went on to give examples of recent crimes which he suggested were politically influenced.He referred to an alleged robbery that took place in Campbellville near the home of the Minister of Public Security, Khemraj Ramjattan.It was alleged that the Minister?s neighbour, Geetanjalie Ramotar, was brutalized and tape bound by bandits,[url=http://www.footlockershop.us@#$%&/Kalalau/]http://www.footlockershop.us@#$%&/Kalalau/[/url], a situation Persaud said raised suspicions.?From all our experience in criminal operations, they (bandits) don?t have time for that (scotch-tape victims); they don?t have time to do that. The other thing, too, tell me, when something like this is going on, why would somebody try to photograph that person rather than to help them??The Minister was one of the first people to go over. They didn?t call the police; they called the Minister and the Minister called the police. So someone had to take that photo prior to?,[url=http://www.baseballgreet@#$%&/Arizona-Diamondbacks-Jorge-De-La-Rosa-Jersey/]Jorge De La Rosa Jersey[/url],? the Police Commissioner told the publication.He added that the opposition forces used a situation in Berbice as a political tool to attack the government rather than take a more proactive approach to help fight crime.?Instead of helping, you are interfering ?Situations like these come when crime is politicized and we should not be doing that. We should be coming together and working towards reducing crime,[url=http://www.nhl2017.us@#$%&/Detroit-Red-Wings-Chris-Chelios-Jersey/]Chris Chelios Red Wings Jersey[/url],? Persaud was quoted as saying.But the PPP in a strongly worded statement in response said that it finds the Commissioner?s statements most surprising in light of the fact that whilst the PPP/C was in office, the Police Force never found it necessary to make such a statement even though the PPP/C administration had repeatedly pointed to the fact, that the crime situation in Guyana was strongly influenced by the PNC and had provided facts to prove its claim.According to the PPP these facts were reported time and again and Commissioner Persaud is aware of them.?To say that the political opposition is undermining the efforts of the GPF to fight crime and generating the perception that crime is spiraling out of control? is not only disingenuous but appears as though the GPF is stuck in the denial mode,? the PPP said.The opposition party stated that the police themselves have admitted that there has been a 10 percent increase in serious crimes as well as murders not to mention crimes committed with the use of a firearm.These are all clear indications that the situation has indeed spiraled out of control, the PPP said.The PPP noted that no Police Force in the world would ever admit that the crime situation in its jurisdiction is out of control.  Such an admission would of necessity demand the dismissal of the Commissioner of Police.?However, Commissioner Seelall Persaud must know that rather than jumping on the bandwagon as if there is a threat to his security of tenure, on the contrary here in Guyana, for a sitting Commissioner of Police there is no threat of job security.It was under the Donald Ramotar-led PPP/C government that Persaud was appointed Commissioner of Police.?Speaking of ?public trust and confidence? the PPP said that the Commissioner of Police must know that this twin phenomenon must be earned and not to be taken for granted,[url=http://www.cheapnfljerseysforwholesale@#$%&/]Wholesale Jerseys[/url], especially in the current circumstances where the crime situation has reached unacceptable proportions.?To talk about building trust and confidence and at the same time undermining and lending support to the Ministry of Public Security?s efforts to dismantle the Community Policing Groups and the Community Policing Organisation in Guyana,[url=http://www.cheapjerseysnear.us@#$%&/]jerseys nfl wholesale[/url], is not only contradictory but undermines the very trust and confidence which the GPF purports to enjoy from the Guyanese public.?The opposition party said that it never sold or bought crime as a political football,[url=http://www.cheapnfljerseysmr.us@#$%&/]Jerseys NFL Wholesale China Online[/url], claiming that it was the current administration which the Commissioner now seeks to defend that did so, ?moreso, since the PNC itself was known to be associated with the criminal underworld.  Police records can attest to this fact.?According to the PPP, the occurrences which the Commissioner referred to at Campbellville and Berbice which he claimed were ?political influenced?,[url=http://www.cheapjerseysnear.us@#$%&/]wholesale jerseys china[/url], is of no evidential value and lacks credibility.The PPP stated that no evidence was offered attesting to the involvement of ?political influence?.?The PPP therefore rejects these most unfortunate and unsubstantiated statements and conclusions by the Commissioner of Police and call on him to resist all attempts to colour his views politically and to make him feel obliged to make statements of the nature published,? the PPP declared.
