Police Sergeant Alfred Park, was today slapped with 13 charges of forging several questionnaires in the Learner Driver Theoretical Examination.
The 50-year-old Park appeared
before City Magistrate Judy Latchman in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
The court was told that on April 12 at the Felix Austin Police College, Georgetown, he conspired with persons to forge 13 questionnaires at the Theoretical examination, which were not written by persons who were seated in the examination room. Park was released on $1.2M bail and the matter is adjourned until August 27. The man was represented by attorney-at-law Patrice Henry. He is the third person to be charged with the same offense. A few weeks ago, his colleagues, Corporal Ryan Gray, 25, and Woman Corporal Shanice Fraser, 31, the Confidential Secretary to the Traffic Chief, appeared before Chief Magistrate, Ann McLennan and were charged in connection to the same allegations.
Gray was hit with 20 counts of forgery and was released $160,000 bail while Fraser was charged with 18 counts and was released on $150,000 bail.
The Police in April said the Office of Professional Responsibility was called in to investigate seemingly massive irregularities in the Guyana Police Force learner driver’s theoretical examination which took place on Thursday, April 12, 2018, at the Felix Austin Police College, Georgetown.
One hundred and seventy-four (174) persons were registered to write the examination, but only one hundred and six (106) persons presented themselves on the day in question. However, two hundred and seven (207) scripts were received at the conclusion of the examination and one hundred and fifty-five (155) of the two hundred and seven (207) scripts were completed. This was discovered by a Senior Pastor who is the Guyana Police Force’s Chaplain to the Commissioner of Police (ag.) David Ramnarine.
