My Mother Deserves Better: A Call for Justice in the Guyana Police Force

  • News

In a Social Media Post Calypso M. Marshall expresses deep frustration and pain regarding his mother’s treatment in the Guyana Police Force, where she has served honorably for nearly 19 years as a Special Constable. Despite her dedication, hard work, and integrity, she has been overlooked for promotions, receiving only a meager advancement to Lance Corporal.

As September 2025 approaches, marking two decades of service, Marshall reflects on the sacrifices his mother has made—working through sickness, rarely taking leave, and showing unwavering commitment to her duties. He contrasts her situation with that of less experienced officers who have ascended the ranks not due to merit, but due to favoritism and office politics.

Marshall highlights the national shame of allowing dedicated officers to serve without recognition. He questions the fairness of a system that rewards connections over commitment, emphasizing that his mother has maintained her integrity throughout her career.

With the recent announcement of promotions for long-stifled officers, Marshall had hoped for justice for his mother. Instead, he feels her promotion was more a token gesture than a real acknowledgment of her service.

As his mother approaches retirement in 2028, Marshall calls on the leadership of the Guyana Police Force and the government to rectify this injustice. He urges them to recognize the true value of those who have served faithfully, advocating for a system that promotes based on merit rather than connections.

In closing, he emphasizes that his mother, and many like her, deserve better recognition for their sacrifices and commitment. The appeal is not just for his mother, but for all dedicated officers who have given their best years to the service.
