PRESS RELEASE: Biased response of the Traffic Chief to the Tragic Death of the Former Public Servant, the Late Trevor Daly.
The Guyana Public Service Union wishes to publicly put on record how petrified it was to read the comments made by the Traffic Chief of the Guyana Police Force on the matter of the death of a Senior Public Servant, the former Unit Chief, Air Navigation Services, Guyana Civil Aviation Authority and the Second Vice President of the Guyana Public Service Union, the Late Trevor Daly.
The GPSU rejects the callous irresponsible and unprofessional manner in which the Traffic Chief stated that the incident was “senseless”, indicating that anything reckless can be done on our public roadways, regardless of the risks or dangers to users. Further, it seems that any inquiry into the circumstances surrounding this accident would be biased, if the Traffic Chief is involved since he has already adjudicated on the tragedy.
This smacks on poor inter-relationship between members of the Community and much political bias.
The GPSU wrote the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Cliffton Hickens on this issue on July 25, 2025, (please see copy of letter attached), and expects a professional response not the biased nonsensical utterance of the Traffic Chief as reported in the Stabroek News of July 28, 2025.
For there to be confidence, justice and fair play in the deliverables of the Guyana Police Force, there must be displayed a high level of professionalism and respect for the citizens of Guyana whom they are obligated to serve. The Motto “Service and Protection must be always their focus as well as respecting and recognizing human rights, working in partnership with communities and building a safe usage of the roadways of Guyana.
