Georgetown: The Home Affairs Ministry has finalised an arrangement through the Office of the President which will result in a number of Police Cadet Officers, who were enlisted to satisfy the long-term needs of the Guyana Police Force, being promoted when they qualify for such appointments.
At the moment, 24 of the Cadet Officers have been found to be suitable to be promoted to the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police. The requisite administrative process that will result in those appointments have already commenced with the issuance of under a ‘no objection’ for the creation of the specific posts, a release from the Ministry said.
The positions created for those Cadet Officers will become redundant when they are appointed to those positions beyond that of Assistant Superintendent of Police.
They will, therefore, have to compete with the other Assistant Superintendents of Police who will be promoted through the ranks for the positions of Deputy Superintendent and above.
This initiative that was taken by the Home Affairs Ministry would result in the temporary increase in the number of Assistant Superintendents of Police in the Force, but this special arrangement would only relate to the Cadet Officers who were trained as part of the long-term plan of the Ministry for the Guyana Police Force.
“Therefore, these positions cannot be used to promote other ranks in the Force, as they will be unique only to the identified Cadet Officers,” the release said.
