The officers allegedly refused to take the report.“Such a situation leaves the public to wonder whether the Guyana Police Force understands their mandate and, if so, how seriously they have taken it…How secure are our citizens,

He said that if the police ranks had visited his home, his wife might still be alive.Other relatives of the dead woman have also expressed sentiments that it is time for officers to stop ignoring men and women who report domestic violence.“It seems very clear that many of our police ranks do not share the sense of outrage that should accompany those reports of violence and abuse,” said RamseyRamsey said that her party believes that there should be a special unit in the Guyana Police Force to deal with domestic violence, as well as special procedures to take such reports.“The Party is adamant that such reports should not only be taken, but acted upon.”Human Services and Social Security Minister Priya Manickchand has long been on record encouraging the Guyana Police Force to take a much more serious stance on Domestic Violence.
